In research accomplished to date in rate-controlled speech recording relatively few have treated foreign language teaching/learning. This article reviews salient studies and reports on a research study attempted under a Graduate School Research Fund Grant at the University of Washington. Research in the field tends to illustrates both the great potential for rate-control in foreign language teaching and the lack of a theoretical structure for such practice. If we look back over research and analytical writing concerning language laboratories, little doubt is left that some people have been disappointed. Expectations of the early sixties have often slid into apathy, if not rejection of many audio-lingual practices. Although most studies reported have compared traditional language learning with that including laboratory practices, little was asked about the "kind" of laboratory experience. Overall generalizations have often been attempted without differentiating between such kinds (Hocking, 1970). But for all the criticisms of research designs, it has been reasonably demonstrated that there has been a trend established toward better spoken performance when regular laboratory experience has been provided (Chong, 1979). Moreover, as expected, better oral comprehension has been reported in a great many studies. The trouble has been, of course, that we started out expecting miracles, never allowing for the infamous Hawthrone Effect', and being overly-impressed by certain exponents of the laboratory's uniqueness in language learning. L'oreille electronique was, for instance, reported to produce accent-free French in two short years (Bauer, 1963). For overblown expectations there has often been a certain natural fondness. A recent embellishment of technologically-aided language learning has been the miniaturization of electronic equipment. This phenomenon has led to two other very interesting facets of such learning. These are the long-needed amelioration of language laboratory logistics, and the student control of recorded speech rate. The highly portable (some smaller than a text book) cassette play-back or recorder-play-back unit has now made feasible language laboratory practice away from the laboratory itself. Obviously, the motivated student can now work at improving his oral comprehension with a great deal more convenience than frequent trips to, and hours at, a language laboratory in a certain building. The other facet of the miniaturization process has been the recent reduction in size and cost of so-called "speech compressors." Until recently a quite research-oriented piece of equipment, the speech expansion compression module is now both small in size and relatively

For those enthusiastic people attending the HEAT Conference who wish to go out and explore, to experience the intriguing, exciting city of Tokyo ... this section is just for you. Do not be daunted by Tokyo's reputation as being the most expensive city in the world; there are many restaurants, places of entertainment, cultural centers and places of interest which cater ofr the average person and price themselves accordingly. Unfortunately, a visitor in Tokyo for only a few days has difficulty in discovering these establishments. With this in mind, plus the fact that knowledge of the places you plan to visit always contributes to a more enjoyable and memorable stay, I have compiled a brief guide to Tokyo, providing practical information concerning good places to shop, eat and see, night life and other useful information.

For volume users, one way to select tape is to first list different types of applications. Then, buy several brands of tape appropriate to each application. After comparing cost benefits of the tapes on trial, narrow· down to one tape per category and standardize on it. Keeping alert of prices from different distributors and timing also saves money. One university purchaser interviewed makes an annual estimate of how much tape will be used and what brands are acceptable. In his opinion, most of the major brands of videotape were comparable in quality for educational purposes, whereas, his budget was tight. So he buys from the dealer who can 1 give the best price and service. lately he has been buying cooperatively with a local television station for discounts.
