it reflects a grammar-based view of language . Most of the grammatical structure of the target language and hundreds of vocabuary items can be learned from the skillful use of the imperative by the instructor. Particular verb, and paritualrly the verb in the  imperative, as the central linguistic motif around which language use and learning are organized.
