Mechanized Learning
A collection of instructional media is necessary for audio and visual instruction in the well-equipped
classroom. The use of any one of these “machines” involves the student tn ways in which print cannot,
through listening, seeing, and respundiqg.

Overhead Projector
The over he. id projector is one of the most adaptable projectors for
all subject areas. It provides easy student dewing and permits pre-
class preparaion of materials to give a step-by-step picv rial lay-
out of the lesson. An overlay can be placed over a basic transparency
— for example, in a geography class an overlay can denote moun-
tainous areas, industrial areas, or population density.

year to acquaint teachers with the prepara?., i and use of materials and
machines (loo's) by which these supplementary aids to good teaching can
be brought into the classroom.

i'rench O students practice a dialogue which they will recite from memory. The new approach to the
teaching of modern languages places the audio-lingual skills in the foreground with the reading and writ-
ing skills as a natural extension of thr audio-lingual skills. The language laboratory provides native
French voices as models and provides the students a sense of privacy, reduces distractions, and encour-
ages concentration through the use of headphones and partitions. The facilities in thr lab afford the teach-
er an opportunity to evaluate and correct the performance of individual students without interrupting
the work of others.
