Two-Way Cable Television: An Instructional Alternative for the Future. Strategies and Teaching Techniques for Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) Foreign Language Instruction via Two-Way Cable Television.

The advances of two-way cable television are discussed in this teachers' guide, which presents materials that have been developed as suggestions for teaching a two-way television course for advanced placement (AP) or honors students in foreign languages. The materials for the course, which is designed to enable students to study these languages together with others across the county, include sample lesson plans for a unit on literature and a unit on language. These plans cover preparation, instructional objectives, performance objectives, resources needed, the actual process, and the use of higher order thinking skills. Brief outlines of day-to-day class activities for each unit are included. Class activities designed to help students prepare for language achievement and AP examinations are also provided, including practice in speaking, listening, reading, and use of verb tenses and conditions. Recommendations for the management of the telecourse program conclude the guide. (17 references) (EW)
