Let's Speak Ilokano (Ilocano).

University of Hawaii Press. Textbook. 296 pages. "Let's Speak Ilokano" takes a new and lively approach to langue learning. The language is learned in the context of simulated real-world experiences that are acted out___running the gamut from "Getting to Know You" in lesson one, to "Borrowing Money" in lesson fifteen. Tested with beginning Ilokano students at the University of Hawaii, this approach has been shown to enable students to overcome the psychological barriers of using a foreign language. This approach reinforces language use by providing a variety of non-threatening listening and writing exercises as integral parts of each lesson. A variety of memorization techniques help travellers to acquire both vocabulary and structures painlessly. Oral exercises are provided through communication activities and language games.
