Written for Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican agricultural workers, this course of study provides basic conversational concepts for those who have little or no acquaintance with English. Several important reasons for obtaining skill in the use of English are enumerated in the introductory paragraphs which are in Spanish. The text takes the student from the elementary phraseology to complete, complex sentences. All textual material is written in English and requires either an oral or written Spanish translation on the part of the student. Short paragraphs in dialogue are also presented with the direction that these be read as directed by the teacher. Brief questions for further discussion are offered at the end of some lessons. (DA)
