The foreign language program grew beyond the projected expectations, curriculum principal Kitty Spence said. She said she thought the growth was due to students becoming aware of the importance of the knowledge of other languages in the modern world. Culture was an important emphasis in language classes. Cultural knowl- edge and skills as well as languages skills were the basis for competitions at the district Foreign Language Fair. The classes were required to take an objective district placement test this year. The test included oral dialogue, answering story questions and culture questions. gComo esta aria? aj Maria es bonita. bl Ella esta enferma. cl Maria esta contento. dl Ella es alta.
