Second language instruction requires explicit descriptions of student behaviors. It also needs a special taxonomy to organize objectives from simple to complex, and a description of performance variables to show how a psychologically simple behavior can be made more difficult. This article develops 44 five-part second-language objectives, each one stating who is to do what how well and under what conditions. It also provides a special taxonomy (an adjunct to Bloom's) and identifies five major performance variables. The article replaces the traditional four-skills description of language performance with an informationprocessing approach, which views the learner as a language processor midway between an eliciting situation and an overt response
