EACH OF THE TWELVE UNITS IS BASED ON A SPECIFIC TOPIC--PHONE CALLS, TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS, QUARTERLY REPORTS AND SALES, ORGANIZATION CHARTS, ORDERING, PLANT LAYOUT, INVESTMENTS, EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS, AND PLANT MAINTENANCE. A FEATURE OF THE DIALOGUES IS THE PRESENTATION OF ALTERNATIVE OR SYNONOMOUS PATTERNS WHICH ALLOW THE STUDENT A CHOICE OF RESPONSES. QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AND A READING UNIT FOLLOW EACH DIALOGUE.

THIS TEXT AND RECORDINGS OF THE DIALOGUES ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE INSTITUTE OF MODERN LANGUAGES, INC., 1666 CONNECTICUT AVENUE, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C., 20009. (AM)
