A teaching system utilizing prerecorded tape which is prepared in sectors with a message segment and position indicators in the form of transparent windows which are photoelectrically detected. After a message or question is played, a first window is detected by a first detector and the tape drive motor is deenergized with another window positioned before one of a plurality of other detectors. The operator then attempts to answer or identify the message by making a selection corresponding to one of the plurality of detectors, and if a correct answer is given, a signal is given to the operator. All of the photoelectric detecting devices are on a carrier which is removably mounted to a cassette.
