To get a student to produce conversation freely three major language phases are set up in Beginning and Intermediate Japanese classes at the American Graduate School of International Management: controlled imitation, semi-free application and construction, and liberated expression. The training is in areas of hearing, speaking, reading, and writing. (SCC)
