Learn Turkish Table of Contents - Basic Dialogues
The lessons begins with a Basic Dialogue which forms the core of the lesson. A student controls a lesson to the extent to which he has learned the dialogue by heart. Thorough memorization of the dialogue means thorough mastery of the text. Memorization is achieved by direct imitation of the audio material.
Basic Dialogues are presented with their English equivalents. Numbered utterances in the dialogues are basic sentences. New words or phrases occuring in a basic sentence for the first time are listed separately, immediately before the sentence, as breakdowns. They are intendented and not numbered.
The audio which accompanies these lessons includes as Basic Dialogues, Drills, and Supplements. The material is recorded with a "beep" signal that tells the students step by step what to do:
- One short beep means - Listen
- One long beep means - Repeat
- Two short beeps means - Participate
- Two long beeps means - Redo the same segment
The dialogue is taught in segments first, then as a whole. The steps involved are:
- Listening
- Memorizing by repetition of break-downs and whole sentences
- Developing fluency by additional repetition of whole sentences
- Participating by assuming one role in the dialogue,
- Confirming comprehension by re-listing.
