French Course Part 2: A New French Course by Ron S Horan & John R Wheeler (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798761232952)

The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to the study of the French
language based largely on an aural-oral approach.
For the student commencing the study of a foreign language, very little pleasure, and in many cases little benefit, is derived from translating into French whole sets of sentences and grammatical exercises. Hence this aspect of language work occupies only a minor place in this book which breaks with the traditional grammar and translation approach. The principal objectives are to get the student to understand the simple spoken word, to be able to say simple things with a reasonably good accent, and to comprehend what he reads.
The lessons afford ample opportunity for practising oral techniques. The passages of French have been written to illustrate grammatical points, and questions in French bearing on these passages test the student's comprehension of the text and ability to give simple answers in French.
Each lesson contains a dictée which consolidates the grammatical material presented. Common class-room commands and questions have been included so that as much French as possible may be used in the course of each lesson. Exercices de prononciation, which, it is hoped, will help students acquire a reasonably good accent, are included in the book. The various positions of the organs of speech for the production of the vowel sounds have been described briefly and as simply as possible.
