6. Ten-unit courses consisting of 1 -200 word dialogues - graded by vocab and grammar






7. Graded syllabus of phonology - morphology & syntax; contrastive analysis






8. Learners as negotiator - interactor - giving & receiving information






9. No specific objectives; near native mastery is goal






10. Acquire vocab by speaking full sentences in L2; communication is purpose of language learning
