Hai Tran Trong, Huffman Franklin E. Intermediate Spoken Vietnamese

Cornell University Press, 1980. — xii + 402 p.There is general agreement among language teachers that students cannot bridge the gap between the basic structures of an intensive beginning course and the spoken competence required to express oneself in a variety of social contexts or to discuss written or literary texts. Adequate intensive beginning materials are available for most languages, but there are almost no audiolingual materials designed to develop the student's competence beyond the beginning level; Intermediate Spoken Vietnamese is intended to meet that need for Vietnamese, and perhaps to serve as a model for intermediate spoken materials in other languages.
