This book discusses the teaching and learning of a second language in terms of a total human experience and not just an oral-aural or cognitive one. Part one, "Memory," examines some of the research that has been done on memory, and discusses: (1) "Biological Bases for Memory"; (2) "Verbal Memory"; and (3) "Memory and the Whole Person." Part two, "Meaning," explores this dimension as it applies to the foreign language classroom, and consists of the following chapters: (1) "Inside the Student: Some Meanings of Pronunciation and Fluency"; (2) "The Meaning of Drills and Exercises"; and (3) "Between Teacher and Student: The Class as a Small Group." Part three, "Method," examines implications for language teaching methods. This section presents (1) "A General View of Method," followed by a discussion of (2) "Community Language Learning"; (3) "The Silent Way"; and (4) "Some Other Methods," including the Saint-Cloud and the Lozanov Method.
