Introduction
AIM
It is the aim of the
course to provide the student with a useful control of the structure of the
spoken language and of a basic vocabulary which meets at least some of the
specialized needs of the Foreign Service. After completion of the basic course
the Foreign Service Officer should be able to make limited practical use of the
language in his official duties and social obligations. He will furthermore have
the means given the proper surroundings and personal motivation for continued
rapid and efficient development of proficiency.
MATERIALS
The materials in this first volume of the text are organized into twelve lessons
or units. Each unit contains a set of basic sentences for memorization. These
are in the form of a dialog based on one or sometimes two specific situations in
which a person might find himself in Germany. Notes to the basic sentences are
provided as necessary to clarify occasional difficulties in vocabulary and idiom
and to provide additional background on some cultural features unfamiliar to
Americans. Notes on pronunciation are included in each of the first eight units.
Phonological features which have been found to be particularly difficult for
American students are here presented with explanations and pronunciation
practice drills. The notes on grammar in each unit single out those structural
features illustrated in the basic sentences which are appropriate for systematic
consideration at that stage in the course. Substitution drills provide for the
manipulation of forms by substituting specific items in fixed sentence frames.
They are intended to build habits of association so that in a given syntactic
environment the appropriate grammatical form automatically comes to mind. As the
German vocabulary is all familiar no English equivalents are given in these
drills. Variation drills provide for the manipulation of larger syntactic
patterns. In each group a model sentence underscored serves as a guide.
Associated with it are additional sentences incorporating the same syntactic
pattern but in which most of the individual word items have been replaced.
English equivalents are given to serve as cues for recall of the German variant
sentences. Vocabulary drills provide both practice in the use of new vocabulary
items and also allow for manipulation of sentence elements whose particular form
and arrangement depends upon their association with that vocabulary item. The
manipulation of both variation and vocabulary drills depends on the use of
English equivalents. Specific translation drills are also provided however. In
most cases they present the material of the basic dialog in the form of a
narrative. They thus provide content review of the basic sentences and practice
in the transformation from active dialog to descriptive narration. The response
drills are question and answer drills on the situations of the basic dialogs.
Conversation practice and additional situations in outline bridge the gap to
free conversation with small pieces of supplementary dialog for acting out and
situations providing for a freer play of the student's imagination. The finder
list in each unit notes all new vocabulary which has been presented.
METHOD AND PROCEDURE
This is a course in Spoken
German; the forms and patterns of the language are intentionally colloquial. The
emphasis in instruction is everywhere on speech and an indispensable component
of the learning process is the voice of a tutor or instructor whose native
language is German. On no account should the student attempt to use these
materials without either a native instructor or recordings of a native
instructor's voice. The method of instruction incorporates guided imitation
repetition memorization pattern practice and conversation.
