Abstract

Examination of the several French-language teaching programs published in the last few years reveals many of these to be methodologically unsound when evaluated according to recognized criteria (e .g., Albert Valdman, Trends in Language Teaching) as well as being deficient in their treatment of the French compound tenses, which are generally left untaught in these texts. A completely self-instructional linear programmed course was then devised to teach the morphology and internal syntactic structure of French verb phrases containing all the compound tenses, with both regular and irregular participles and the auxiliaries etre and avoir. This program was then tested, evaluated, and finally revised. The results demonstrate that the morphology and structure of French verb phrases containing compound verbs can be successfully taught by a completely self-instructional programmed text.
