The Conversation Class--Its Goals and Form
Folland, David; Robertson, David
English Language Teaching Journal, 32, 4, 281-7, Jul 78
Conversation classes have three goals: (1) to introduce and practice elements of spoken language; (2) to bring passive knowledge of the language into active use; and (3) to create a situation in which the two other goals may be realized. The place, the material, and the topic are important in achieving these goals. (CFM)
