"Modern Spanish" in an Intensive Program for Graduate Students: An Experiment and Some Reflections.
Sacks, Norman P.
Hispania, v1 n2 p310-319 May 1967
An intensive summer Spanish course conducted at the University of Wisconsin in 1965 for graduate social science majors studying in the Latin American area studies program is described. After outlining the details of the experimental course based on the "Modern Spanish" package and discussing its special implications for modern language teachers, the article focuses attention on a sampling of representative replies made by the participants to a comprehensive questionnaire concerning the effectiveness of their language study. Also included are some observations on the questionnaire results and class performance. (AF)
