A resource kit for the teaching of listening comprehension in French at the beginning elementary level is represented by a teacher's guide and a handbook entitled "The Maple Sugar Industry." The guide offers sample activities and lesson plans, as well as a complete procedure for conducting a listening comprehension test. Instructions are given for the use of a filmstrip/tape presentation. The theme of making maple sugar is illustrated with a folk legend--"Le Secret des erables"--and with pictoral aids, master copies for which are included in the teacher's guide. (JB)
