FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHERS WHO STRESS THE AUDIOLINGUAL APPROACH, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, NEED TO BE AWARE OF CURRENT PROBLEMS, PRACTICES, AND PHILOSOPHIES. USE OF THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN THE CLASSROOM MUST NEITHER OVERRIDE STUDENT COMPREHENSION OR PERMIT NEGLECT OF ANY OF THE FOUR BASIC SKILLS. CONTINUOUS INSERVICE TRAINING CAN DEVELOP MORE…

This paper considers the aspect of heuristic teaching in which theorems are introduced in the form of problems and the proofs of these theorems as solutions to problems. The traditional treatment along with an illustration of a heuristic approach is discussed for each of several well-known theorems. (MN)

Any given inquiry can be divided into four methodological stages. These are: problem solving, problem evaluating, solution forming and solution evaluating. In teaching students to think, teachers should encourage them in all of these steps. (GC)

Six easy-to-learn strategies are offered to help students with learning problems in mathematics make error-free subtraction calculations when either the subtrahend or remainder is a 9, 8, or 7 and when the minuend is in the teens. (CB)

The authors demonstrate how the theories of Piaget and Perry can be applied in a framework for developing instructional methods for courses in home economics.
