Students listen and repeat to learn a new French dialogue. Study A Language, Learn A Culture With the aid of ta|»cs. Miss Rhodes gives a student additional help. Take an oral test? Yes, in B-CC’s modern language de- partment, many of the tests and somtimes the semester exams are oral. Students must know how to speak and un- derstand the spoken language, as well as knowing how to read and write it. Students can record their voices by mak- ing use of the speakers, microphones, and tape recorders. This equipment enables us to hear native speakers in dia- logues. Proof of the desire to learn a foreign language is the increasing enrollment in the fourth year class«s. Both Greek and Russian are taught before school to in- terested students. These courses, for which no credit is given, benefit students with an interest in the past or present. Making the “dead language” seem alive is the task of the two Latin teachers. Beginning with translation and verbs, they guide students to Caesar and Virgil. 25

College bound students anticipate typing reports and term papers perfectly as well as taking notes competently aided by a knowledge of shorthand. Daily dictation helps Miss Cooke's shorthand students, such as Jan Desmond, become proficient. 26
