This revision has beenmade by Edward Dimock,Somdev Bhattacharji,and Suhas Chatterjee,on thebasis of their experience with two years classroom work with the ma-terials,and with the helpful advice and comments of those to whom thefirst draft was sent for criticism.  \nSince the lirst draft of these materia2·was finished in 1959,thefirst several units of Spoken Bengali by Ferguson and Satterthwaite,aswell as materials for other modern South Asian languages,have becomeavailable.While we have profited by these,our materials differ some-what in emphasis from them,  As has often been pointed out,a languagewit2 the richness and breadth of Bengali warrants two,or even several,treatments in teaching materials.  Our conversations and drills areoriented less toward practical situations than toward cultural concepts,facts of Bengali 1.ife and history,and selected grammatical points;tothese considerations we have occasionally sacrificed the illusion ofreality.  This does not mean that we neglect the structure of the lan-guage and do not attempt to train people to speak.  On the contrary,theheavy emphasis of our basic course is upon speaking ","cbCaifoC0TREOK0T","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifoC0TREOK0T","pdf",8951778,400,"English","# INTRODUCTION TO BENGALI,PART I\n# PREFACE\n# CONTENTS","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the course materials in this volume?\",\"answer\":\"They provide materials for a basic course in spoken Bengali, with emphasis on speaking and understanding the language.\"},{\"question\":\"How was this revision of the course created?\",\"answer\":\"The revision updates an earlier 1959 work using experience from two years of classroom instruction and feedback from those who reviewed the first draft.\"},{\"question\":\"What teaching methods and materials does the book assume?\",\"answer\":\"The approach assumes the use of taped materials, with early lessons stressing intonation, and it provides some pattern drills in the book while leaving other drill preparation to instructors.\"}]","Introduction to Bengali - Part 1 | PDF",1790835972,1008]
