Many instructional problems which face us today in the training of foreign language teachers can be solved with a systems approach. Systems offers program designers a dosed loop feedback mechanism within which to develop a meaningful program. Eight objectives selected for a methods course offered at the University of Nebraska are described and each is stated specifically in behavioral terms. Since space does not permit reporting each of the objectives in the detail demanded by a systems approach, one objective is presented. The account of this objective takes the reader step by step through each detail of the systems approach used at Nebraska. It includes the following basic steps: A general and specific statement of the problem. An analysis of the problem An assessment of the learner's entering behavior The development of an instructional design (i.e., learning experiences, components, scheduling, and evaluation of the program) A means of feedback and change within the design
