This manual outlines a beginning course in Spanish based on audio-visual-lingual methodology. Each lesson plan states the objectives, the activities to be performed, the materials to be used, and the method to use in evaluating the student's mastery of the lesson. Some examples of lesson topics are: greeting each other using Spanish names; conversation using the days of the week and other related material; classroom objects; weather conditions; introduction and oral practice of the verb "estar"; places in Mexico, Spain, and republics of Central and South America; classroom command forms; and arithmetic in Spanish. The teacher makes use of films, filmstrips, tapes, flash cards, wall maps, pictures, classroom objects and books in implementing the language instruction. (CFM)
