Grouping, a compromise arrangement between the traditional, structured classroom and complete individualization, frees students from teacher domination, supplies the social setting necessary for learning a language, and provides incentive for everyone to participate actively in the learning process. This paper describes a plan developed foor intermediate levels of foreign language learning. Each group is assigned a different reading passage, not according to ability but according to interest. Over a period of several days students become thoroughly acquainted with their group's selection. They ask each other questions and help each other with understanding the text. The teacher, moving around the classroom, points out and explains the most difficult spots. Oral practice within the group prepares for the next phase which is exchange of information. Each student is paired with a member of a different group, and each tells the other, in the target language, as much as he or she can about the reading selection his or her group has been working on. The listening partner is encouraged to ask questions about anything he or she does not understand. After these oral exchanges have been completed, the students individually write a short resume of their own reading selection, in the target language and without consulting the text. (Author/CFM)
