Correlation of Language Class and Language Laboratory. ERIC Focus Reports on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, Number 13.

This concise report, one of a series, focuses attention on the topic of correlation of work in the foreign language class with drill in the language laboratory. Viewing the attitude of the language teacher as the critical factor in this problem, the author presents fundamental material on: (1) selection of appropriate materials, (2) the use of careful scheduling of laboratory periods, (3) detailed programing of what is to be presented in class and in the laboratory to insure appropriate correspondence, (4) physical presence of the teacher in the laboratory during drill sessions whenever possible, and (5) use of the language laboratory for testing. Reference to other pertinent documents is made. (RL)
