FL Conversational Skills in Tertiary Education: A Socio-Cultural and Autonomous Approach.
Willems, Gerard M.
Language, Culture and Curriculum, v7 n3 p217-29 1994
Proposes a variety of conversational training that maximizes learner autonomy and focuses on sociocultural competence in speaking.

The future of conversational training at third level is discussed in light of this model. (37 references) (Author/CK)
