ERIC ED023094: Romanian Basic Course.

The "Romanian Basic Course," consisting of 89 lesson units in eight volumes, is designed to train native English language speakers to Level 3 proficiency in comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing Romanian (based on a 1-5 scale in which Level 5 is native speaker proficiency). Volume 1, which introduces basic sentences in dialog form with picture cue illustrations, presents both free and literal translations as well as phonetic transcriptions of the dialogs. A recombination dialog, a reading followed by questions, and drill exercises comprise the format for this volume. Grammatical explications, vocabulary listings for each lesson, and translation exercises are introduced in Volume 2. This general format is followed throughout the series, with a cumulative vocabulary listing at the end of each volume. The eighth and final volume of the course deals with Romania before and after the Second World War. The cultural content is aimed at the special interests of the U.S. military personnel. (AMM)
