“ See who can name all the spraying gear in good Thai in the shortest time. One person points to an object. The other person tells all he knows about it. He should bring in materials that he remembers from the Basic Lessons and AUA Book. (One-minute limit.) Trade instructors for the Last 5-10 minutes of class, and let the students try to impress the visiting instructor. Outside of class, learn the name of one object and what it is used for. Each student is given a different word to find the meaning of. ”

Have each person pantamine some action from his daily work, and have other class members guess what he is doing and the tine of day that it is usually done. They must then give the reasons why they guessed as they did. Have each person take a tum to be a house owner or surveillance worker. ”

“ Thailand 33, a Peace Corps training program, was to prepare Volunteers to work in three medical specialties: malaria control, leprosy control, and laboratory technology. Training was to take place during the period November 9 - January 27. A number of sets of lessons for teaching elementary Thai were already available, but none of them covered the technical areas of this program. There was therefore a call for providing effective 'tech-specific' materials. ”

“ How readily will those in charge of later programs be able to change these materials without destroying them? Will the existence of these materials make it any easier to write tech-specific materials in other specialties, such as tuberculosis control or vocational agriculture? In general, the more specialized a set of lessons, the higher their cost per student-hour. The goal of the project was to deal with all three of these aspects of the problem: to write usable materials on a relatively low budget ”

“ An example from the first malaria lesson is on p. 182. The parallel example from leprosy is obvious and will not be reproduced here. (5) Materials to be prepared outside of class. Some, but not all of these items contained new, genuine information. See pp. 183-184. (6) 'Applications:' Suggestions for using Thai in class or outside, in ways that will be rewarding either esthetically (humor, competition, etc.) ”
