CONT

La théorie - aussi bien que la pratique - des exercices que nous appelons "structuraux" est née outre-Atlantique sous le nom de pattern practice ou pattern drill, transformé ensuite en "structural" drill pour bien marquer le lien avec la linguistique structurale.

CONT

Les premiers exercices structuraux devraient apparemment porter sur la prosodie. (...) Les seconds exercices structuraux doivent donc de préférence porter sur la phonologie (...). (...). Le troisième stade des exercices structuraux doit porter sur la morphosyntaxe (...). Enfin, le vocabulaire ne prendra la place d'honneur dans les exercices structuraux qu'au dernier stade (...).
