[These are the first two parts of a three‐part report on the development of a program at the English Language Institute which uses documentary films for the improvement of aural comprehension, speaking, writing, and reading in English as a second language. Part I is a general description of the program; Part II is a discussion of the writing aspects of the program; Part III, to appear in the next issue of Language Learning , will discuss the treatment of aural comprehension in the program. The program itself will be published under the title Films for Advanced Practice in Aural Comprehension, Vocabulary Building, and Composition , by H. Joan Morley and Mary S. Lawrence (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, forthcoming).]
