“ Each of nine cities was a subtopic and formed the basis of one lesson. For each subtopic, three versions ('takes') were recorded on tape. Any one lesson uses each of the three versions in a different way. In Lesson 38, which contains the first microtext, the content of the first version has been converted into very short, uncomplicated sentences. Following those sentences are two or three questions based on each. The student is to get the answers by listening to the first version. ”

“ LESSON 38
This lesson is based on a short monolog about Kampala. Three slightly different versions of the monolog are on the tape:
1. Listen to these monologs straight through, just to see how much you can understand.
2. Next, learn the following short sentences. Practice them until you can give them easily and correctly in response to the English translations.
3. Listen again to the first version of the monolog and answer the following questions asked by the instructor. Students' books should remain closed. 4. ”

“ DRILL: Concordial agreement.
6. DRILL: Tone changes with [ngg] ‘such as’.
7. Try to anticipate the whole word that belongs in each blank. Check yourself by listening to the third version of the monolog. ”
