This manual presents activities designed to encourage speaking in elementary and secondary school German language classes at the novice and intermediate proficiency levels. Following guidelines outlined in the Utah "Foreign Language Mastery Curriculum Guide," each of the activities is identified according to the topic, level, and specific objectives it seeks to accomplish. Suggestions are given as to how the activities can be tested, implemented, or varied for use at the elementary, secondary, and college level. Recommendations for adapting textbooks to the oral proficiency approach and a repertoire of general strategies for facilitating listening and speaking skills are also included. (MDM)
