Summary:"These pedagogical materials should cover the basic needs of teaching Tamil for roughly 200 hours. The materials are intended to meet the needs of two years of instruction in the Universities, which are named variably as Introductory and Intemediate, Beginner level and Middle level etc. ... The materials are intended to teach both the colloquial or spoken variety and the formal or written variery of Tamil. It is assumed in the materials that these are two styles of Tamil, which at their extreme ends may be nearly incomprehensible. The materials, however, are written in a style that is in the middle, where the two varieties are quite compatible. Thus the two sets of materials, one for each variety, may be treated for the pedagogical purpose as the same language following different spelling systems."
