Год не указан.Planned in two volumes, French Basic Course (Revised) has been designed to help students reach a level of proficiency, which will enable them to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations. The dialogues, drills, situations and narrations have been tape-recorded unless otherwise indicated in the text.For beginning students, the twenty-four units are designed for a six-month intensive training program of six hours of class per day, plus outside preparation. Each unit presents a situational topic introduced in a dialogue, and usually five grammar points. Each grammar point is preceded by grammar notes, which generally are expressed in non-technical terms.Other units include materials of the following kinds.A dialogue to provide a body of natural French conversation as a source for subsequent drills and exercises. (At FSI these dialogues are commonly memorized.)Useful words to supplement the vocabulary with a limited number of additional words, usually related to the topic of the dialogue.Vocabulary awareness to enable the student to better identify the elements of the utterances he learned as a whole and to regroup and review vocabulary.Drills of six different kinds, each type designed for a specific purpose.- Lexical drills to manipulate already acquired vocabulary and improve fluency.
- Learning drills to introduce new grammar points (with reference Lo the corresponding grammar notes).
- Practice drills to give the student an opportunity to illustrate in sentences the grammar point he just covered.
- Question drills to prepare the student for normal conversation.
- Answer drills to prepare the student for normal conversation.
- Review drills (Drills preceded by an (*) have been included for optional use with fast-moving students.)Situations to improve comprehension and serve as a basis for questions and elementary conversation.Narrations to provide reading material and introduce a very limited number of vocabulary items.Written exercises to offer to the student opportunity to relate the spoken language to the writing system.
