Summary:
Stresses today's need for foreign language instruction to help foster international cooperation and understanding. Learning of a foreign language by elementary school children by the oral-aural method, before learning to read or write the language is suggested as a valuable teaching technique. Television's contribution to a nonprofessionally trained language teacher in both the teachers' own preparation and the teaching of the class is cited. Specially made films with foreign language narrations can be used to give a link between a language and the culture from which is developed. Language laboratories are indicated as means for allowing students more practice in listening and speaking the language than do conventional techniques.
