Method for teaching the verb in foreign language instruction

摘要

The Accelerated Spoken English™ (ASE) course described in this invention emphasizes lesson drills using audiotapes so that students learning English as a second language respond to all language drills audibly. Neither written nor grammar exercises are used. The specific method of this invention arranges each verb into a verb table displaying the infinitive, imperative, and gerund forms of the verb and each person in the past, present and future tenses of the verb. The verb table is then presented to the student as an audible word drill requiring the student to respond with spoken English to each person in three tenses. The drill pattern remains unchanged for each new verb vocabulary word. The method of spoken language drill used to teach the English verb may be applied to any foreign language.
