THE TWELVE LESSONS IN STANDARD SPOKEN BIKOL WHICH COMPRISE THIS TEXT WERE WRITTEN FOR PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEERS WORKING IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE STUDENT IS TO CONCENTRATE ON ACQUIRING AURAL-ORAL SKILLS RATHER THAN ON READING AND WRITING. LESSONS CONSIST OF SHORT DIALOGS AND NUMEROUS DRILLS TO TEACH THE PRONUNCIATION PATTERNS AND GRAMMAR POINTS. INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN TO THE TEACHER FOR CONDUCTING THE DRILLS AND FOR INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL SUCH AS SONGS. A SHORT GRAMMATICAL OUTLINE OF BIKOL HAS ALSO BEEN PREPARED FOR REFERENCE (SEE AL 000 501). (JD)
