Features of the First-Year Foreign Language Courses
- Students acquire an exceptional understanding of vocabulary and an implicit understanding of sentence structure, preparing them for later courses in grammar, speaking, and writing.
- Comprehension learning provides superior recall.
- Students demonstrate a strong willingness to learn because they have no difficulty understanding the meaning of the foreign sentences.
- Students use the foreign language spontaneously in the classroom after just a few months of comprehension input.
- All material is presented in the foreign language. Auditory input is combined with pictures, presented in humorous and delightful narratives and short story scripts. Students think in the foreign language.
- Picture-completion exercises and carefully developed questions enable students and teachers to evaluate progress in learning.
- Make-up lessons are easy to administer by providing students with the appropriate audio recording.
- Discipline problems are greatly reduced when comprehension instruction is used.
- In each book the complexity level has been carefully sequenced, making it unnecessary for the teacher to develop additional lesson plans.
- Comprehension learning teaches students to understand, giving them the confidence that they can successfully acquire a foreign language.
- Some teachers believe that pictures are for young children. In foreign language learning, pictures are important because they convey meaning and encourage right-hemisphere learning.
