A model for the audiotutorial learning system was developed which consists of three stages. In the first stage, prelearning activities, the teacher and the learner communicate the goals, objectives, needs, expectations, and rationales for the learning. Also in this stage is a diagnosis-prescription test designed to structure and initiate the next stage, which is the learning activities. The middle stage, learning activities, is what is commonly meant by the audiotutorial method. Here tests are taken after each section, and the instructional process can be custom tailored by adding or subtracting units as needed. The third stage of the instructional system is the postlearning interaction. Another diagnosis-prescription test is given, and the learner and the system are evaluated. (WH)
