PARENTS' OBJECTIONS TO AUDIOLINGUAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING CAN BE OFFSET BY--(1) INITIAL COMMUNITY DISCUSSION OF THE LANGUAGE TO BE TAUGHT, (2) A PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAM PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT GOALS AND ENCOURAGING PARENTAL INTEREST IN SCHOOL AND LANGUAGE ACTIVITIES, (3) CAREFUL SELECTION OF TEACHERS WITH SUFFICIENT LANGUAGE TRAINING, AND (4) PROVISION FOR ADEQUATE, EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT. THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY PROGRAM DEPENDS ULTIMATELY, HOWEVER, UPON THE ENTHUSIASM AND SKILL OF THE TEACHERS. (GJ)
