Abstract | This report presents a description of a seminar in American culture and English-as-a-second-language which allows the students to learn what they want, at their own rate. The teacher serves as a guide and helps the student plan and evaluate his studies. Students may also assume the function of communicating knowledge or ability to each other. Instructional materials depend on the interests of the participants. Basic and constant in the course is a textbook designed to promote language fluency which provides resource material for group discussions usually lasting 20 to 30 minutes. A variety of 15-minute tapes, ranging from simple dialogues to complex lectures and directions, are also used; each tape includes comprehension questions and answers. Each student maintains a folder to record his classroom activity. Students spend at least half their seminar time on cultural "adventures" outside the classroom. In the classroom, they record their impressions and ask any questions. The teacher listens to the tapes and makes suggestions for language development. A list of suggested cultural activities is provided. (VM) |
