A systematic approach to management procedures necessary to independent study programs focuses on six control instruments. They include: (1) an independent-study contract agreement, (2) a time-record sheet, (3) a syllabus of learning objectives, (4) a learning-objectives contract agreement, (5) a learning-objectives challenge agreement, and (6) a learning-objectives evaluation form. Twenty-five summaries of patterns and forms treating pronunciation, morphology and syntax, and idiomatic expressions in introductory German study are presented. Material in this section is adapted from the "Teacher's Manual of German A," books 1-5, by Ernest E. Ellert, et al. (RL)
