"Parlons Francais" Brings A Native French Teacher Into Your Classroom These are scenes from "Parlons Frangais," a tested and proven course of programmed instruction in conversational French for elementary school pupils, beginning in grades 3 or 4 and continuing upward. The program was developed by the Modem Language Project of Boston, Dr. Earle S. Randall, Director. With the help of the classroom teacher, "Parlons Frangais" teaches French through two 15 minute lessons per week. These lessons are available on videotapes for educational television or color film (8mm or 16mm) for classroom presentation. In addition, "Parlons Frangais" offers an excellent series of records for drill at home or in the classroom. The basic instruction in "Parlons Frangais" is provided by Mme Anne Slack, a dynamic and talented television teacher and a native of France. As school opens this year more than 2,000,000 elementary pupils will begin to assimilate the French language under her tutelage and learn French as it is spoken by a native. Research shows that team-teaching with "Parlons Frangais" is successful even if the classroom teacher has no previous training in French — provided she is enthusiastic about the program and uses the supplementary materials as outlined in the Teachers' Guide. The New York Times has called "Parlons Frangais" an "ETV success story." Write for an illustrated brochure and demonstration record.
