Based on the findings of the Commission du
francais elementaire, thesc two books providematerial for teaching children over a considerableage range. The principal aim is to teach the spokenword but writing and reading are introduced as anaid. The teacher's book is available both in Englishand in French. Through the medium of spokenFrench the pupil is encouraged to link details of hisclassroom surroundings, line drawings in the bookand printed sentences, so that grammatical patternsare internalised rather than explained by rules.Tabular paradigms are made available for revisionpurposes. The entire course depends on lineillustrations. Many black and white photographsoffer opportunities for oral composition andobserving French life.
The recordings feature varying intonations as wellas enunciation practice. They have male, femaleand children's voices. There are many pauses forimitative practice.

Learning practice is provided by the use ofsubstitution tables; these are followed by exercisesto encourage the student to build up brief dialoguesin written or spoken form. There are supplementaryphotographs and conversations. The filmstrips showthe picture sequences so that the presentationphase can be made, if desired, in the classic audio-visual mode. The dialogues are recorded twice ontape, first with pauses for repetition and second,unexploded. Recorded examples are provided foreach structural exercise. The remainder of eachlesson tape (the greater part) consists of languagelaboratory exercises which are not printed in thebook.

The course comprises four levels and would appearto take fourteen-year-old beginners to 'A' level infour, five of six years according to local circum-stances. The basic progression is planned accordingto characteristics of the French language asdetermined by phoneme, word and structurefrequencies and by French socio-cultural patterns.Certain training sequences are specially contrivedto counter problems of language interferenceamong student populations speaking German,Dutch and English. The presentation stage is audio-visual with filmstrips and tapes. The fixation stagehas tapes, student books and student discs.Flannelgraph and structured classroom dialogue isused for the exploitation stage. Grammar is taughtlargely inductively and is exercised throughstructure drills. All aspects are carefully graded.
The teacher's notes are extremely thorough. Theyexplain the aim in view, the resources available andthe classroom techniques for each moment of thecourse, making clear the snags to be avoidedlnd
the means of recognising adequate or inadequateprogress on the part of the students withoutwasting time. This helps the teacher to profit fromthe close grading of the course and the inductivemethod of grammar teaching.

Stage 1: The vocabulary consists of approximately650 words based on Le francais fondamental andthis first stage covers 1 to 11/2 years' work. Theapproach is basically oral.
Stage 2: Writing now begins to play a greater part.This stage has a vocabulary of 700 words andcontains material for 1 to 11/2 years' work.
Stage A3: This covers 1 year and the emphasis isaudio-lingual. The new vocabulary is about 1,000words, half of which are for active use. In additiontwenty per cent of the previous vocabulary in thecourse is revised. Revision tapes are also availableat this level. Most classes would take one year tocover th;s stage, but a fast stream could do it intwo terms. Information about French is introducedprogressively.
Stage B3: This is the first of two stages covering 2years' work to CSE standard. Work in stages 1 and2 is thoroughly revised. This stage follows asimilar pattern to A3 but contains less structuralmaterial and moves at a slower pace. It is intendedfor fourth year pupils who have taken 3 years tocomplete the previous stages.
Stage A4: This follows the pattern of previouslevels, is extensively illustrated and is intended tofollow stage A3.
Stage B4: This is similar in design to stage A4 andis also extensively illustrated and is intended tofollow stage B3. Important constructions arerevised for the CSE examination. There is acomprehensive grammar summary, passages fromFrench authors are used as a basis forcomprehension and there is detailed guidance fororal and written composition.

Present indications are that itmight comprise .a) Core materials, using filmstrips, tapes, magazine-type materials with associated grammar booklets and b) Auxiliarymaterials which might include suggestions for role playing, projectwork, language laboratory exercises and readers.
Stage 1 lasts four terms and lays the foundations of aural-oral skills.It is provided in two kits for convenience in handling.
In stage 2, which lasts two terms, reading is progressively introducedand provision is made for copy-writing practice. An Imaginary Frenchtown supplies the beginnings of background interest.
Stage 3 maintains the development of oral skills, develops extendedreading and encourages varied practice in writing. The Norman Conquestprovides a new cultural interest.'
Stage 4A covers about half a year's work. The sentence patterns andgrammar learnt to date are consolidated; the new material constitutes anexpansion of vocabulary. Aural comprehension and productive speech areheavily emphasised, reading is further extended and many additionalactivities are made available. The scene of many of the stories is setin the'Pays Basque.
Stage 4B provides work for three terms with pupils of roughly averageability and two terms with pupils of above-average ability in French.The same prinCiples have guided the authors as in the preparation ofStage 4A.

TEACHING MATERIALS FOR FRENCH
Primary School French
This list forms one section of a bibliography of teaching materials for French and containsmaterial specifically designed for teaching French in primary schools. Much materialpublished under the general heading of 'French for beginners' is therefore excluded, notablythe kind intended for adults. Material which forms part of a continuously developedsequence spanning primary and secondary schools is described both here and in theRecorded and audio-visual courses section of Teaching Materials for French.
For the convenience of the user, the present publication has been arranged in two parts:
Part A. Material in which some element is recorded on disc or tape and/or visual aids areessential.
Part B. Readers and workbooks which do not require any additional presentation deviceand can be used either for group work or by individuals.
During the compilation of the list reference has been made to French readers for primaryschools: an annotated bibliography by J. W. Naylor, Nuffield Foundation, Leeds, 1966, andto the list of teaching materials compiled by Mrs. S. M. Stoker in The Modern LanguageCentre: Bulletin, I LEA, autumn 1971. The bibliographical section of Le francais dans lemonde is also a useful source of information.
Before placing orders teachers should examine specimens and listen to associated tapes todecide whether they.are suitable for particular classes. Selections and examples are availablefor examination in the audio-visual section of the Language-Teaching Library at the Centrefor Information on Language Teaching and Research and at an increasing number ofteachers' centres. Inspection material is also usually available to teachers from the publisheror distributor on request.
Courses and books shown here are available in the United Kingdom. Material publishedabroad has been included only if there are agencies in the United Kingdom able to supply it.Details of price are subject to change; it is advisable to check with the publisher ordistributor before an order is placed.
Suggestions for improvements to, or new entries in, this list will be welcome and should beaddressed to the Director, CI LT.
Compiled February 1972
