Le Francais, Langue Seconde: Aspects de la Conversation (French as a Second Language: Conversational Aspects).
Germain, Claude
The nature of conversation as communication is explored in its psychological, linguistic, and didactic aspects with particular reference to the learning of French as a second language. Major emphasis is placed on psychological and linguistic theories. In the didactic section, the problems, value, and methodology of conversation classes are described, and three proposed levels of instruction are defined. An 81-item bibliography is included. (AF)
