Author's Summary.— Teachers claim that oral‐aural skills are the surest and safest approach to real reading. Grammar dominates examinations and class practices. Recently developed objective audition tests of encouraging reliability show significant but unreliable correlations between aural ability and other skills. However in the main teachers give little consideration to oral‐aural ability in assigning grades.
