FOREWORD
This publication is the outgrowth of a program of curricu-
lum development, evaluation and revision initiated in 1962,
as the New York City Foreign Language Revision. Program.
In the course of the Revision Program, twenty-three
ex-
perimental bulletins appeared covering five levels of instruc-
tion in French and Spanish and four levels in German, He-
brew, Italian, Latin and Russian. This material
was used
experimentally, evaluated and revised, and is now being
printed in seven bulletins, one for each language.
New York City Foreign Language Program for Secondary
Schools: Spanish Levels I-V is intended to serve as a guide to
teachers and supervisors in teaching the fundamental lan-
guage skills, using audio-lingual techniques, and developing
an understanding of the Spanish-speaking peoples, their cul-
ture and their civilization.
The bulletins for French, Italian, German, Russian, Latin
and Hebrew will be available within the school years 1966
-
66 and 1966-67.
