Cuadros Cómicos: What more pleasant and rewarding way of learning a foreign language is there than enacting short, amusing plays? A collection of plays which gives everyone in the class a chance to play a part is a welcome addition to Audio-Lingual study. All of the skits in this collection are easy to produce, require no scenery and almost no properties. They also can serve as excellent opportunities to use puppets as actors. Producing puppet plays encourages the student, hidden behind the curtain to speak clearly and carefully in order to be understood by the audience. Because he cannot be seen he is relieved of any feeling of self-consciousness.
