The Merry-Go-Round Model: Reconciling Principles of Modern Language Teaching with the Administrative and Economic Realities of Degree Courses at Tertiary Institutions.

Kutash, Gary

Babel: Journal of the Australian Modern Language Teachers' Associations, v25 n2 p27-29 Nov 1990

Discusses a new language curriculum model called the "merry-go-round model," which involves the use of levels rather than courses. By emphasizing skill acquisition rather than course completion, this system allows individual progression and groups students according to their level of skill development. Assessment in this program is purely proficiency based. (JL)
