This self-instructional course is designed to help students in attaining a high degree of competence in French pronunciation and a basic knowledge of how French sounds correspond to the writing system. The material is divided into ten chapters. Each chapter has three parts. Part One is the presentation of a short dialogue for memorization. It includes 140 to 150 frames dealing with the pronunciation of sounds in the dialogue. Each frame contains a task to be accomplished before the student can go to the next one. Part Two consists of the manipulation, correction, and reinforcement of the sounds presented in the dialogues, involving a change of context, individual study, reading preparation and reading exercises. These activities are carried out in the language laboratory. Part Three consists of tests to be administered in both the laboratory and the classroom. (CFM)
