Words and Their Meanings

Shows that there is no one-to-one correlation between the words of one language and another; that the meaning of words depends on the context in which they are used; that situations and experiences are viewed differently in different languages; and that common expressions and figurative uses of words in one language are not convertible into another. Presents a demonstration lesson in French to illustrate the principles of teaching vocabulary.
