Very liTTle conversaTional language is TaughT. lT is, Therefore, auiTe beneficial for lVleiToku To have American sTudenTs and Teachers aT Their school To as- sisT sTudenTs in learning English for conversaTional purposes. Besides all This, The sisTer school program has provided boTh schools wiTh a deeper undersTanding of anoTher counTry's culTure and iTs ways of life. lf such programs were developed in all of our schools, people would have a greaTer undersTanding and accepTance of people in oTher parTs of This world. -Dave HalsTead Principal WM Yuko Ochi Tries a liTTle American cooking.
