Abstract: This paper considers the problems of the second-year intermediate college language course, the principles that are fundamental to any intermediate class and observations on the content of the course. The limitations imposed by time, the scope of the subject matter, and the varied capabilities and interests of the students constitute the Special problems of this course. The following principles should form the core for the intermediate year: (1) The course must be based on the language itself; it must reinforce and increase the student's knowledge of the language in a systematic way. (2) The course must contribute to the student's liberal education. (3) The student must learn to appreciate the fact that language is an instrument of communication. (4) The student must learn that language can be of practical use. The content of the course follows from the foregoing principles. Basic components of the course include emphasis on correct usage, especially of verbs and idiomatic expressions, study of the culture of the country, and the use of a wide variety non-fictional and fictional materials, audio-visual materials and visits from native speakers. Such a carefully organized intermediate course can turn the problem year into one of solid and stimulating achievement (AMH)
