Volume IV of this series is the second semester program for level two students. New materials are combined with some of the vocabulary and structural points introduced in the first three volumes to present a meaningful and interesting dialog for each lesson. (See ED 019 666, AL 001 718 and AL 001 743 for Volumes I, II, and III.) This text, a preliminary edition for field testing purposes, is written for the FLES teacher's use only. It is based on the "audiolingual approach" and visuals and tape recordings are being developed to accompany each lesson. The text arrangement and lesson format are similar to those in the first three volumes. A transformation drill has been added to the practice section to give practice in changing affirmative statements to the negative form and vice versa. Auditory discrimination, auditory comprehension, sentence completion, and question-response exercises have been included in the suggested activities for use at the teacher's discretion. As in the preceding volumes, all Japanese material is in Roman script except the words to the songs which are appended with the scores. This course will be revised before publication for the general public. For further information on the project, write to Mrs. Esther M. T. Sato, Director, Japanese Language Project, College of Education, Wist Hall Annex 2 (Room 128), 1776 University Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822. (JD)
