THIS SECOND VOLUME OF THE VIETNAMESE BASIC COURSE CONCENTRATES ON THE BASIC DIALOGS USED IN EVERYDAY CONVERSATION. EACH LESSON PRESENTS A DIALOG WITH NEW VOCABULARY AND GRAMMATICAL PATTERNS AND GIVES EXERCISES THAT EMPHASIZE THE NEW MATERIAL. SUPPLEMENTARY TAPE RECORDINGS ACCOMPANY THE DRILLS. THE PATTERNED RESPONSES AND REPETITIVE FORMAT OF THIS COURSE MAKE IT ADAPTABLE FOR SELF-INSTRUCTION, ALTHOUGH IT IS PRIMARILY FOR CLASSROOM USE. THIS TEXT IS ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS, U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20402, FOR $1.50. (FB)
