MARTINEZ B.A. Los Angeles State College Language While language Stuoents Gxploneo WORLD FlVE LANGUAGES are offered to students at Arcadia High. Four years of Spanish, French, Latin and German are available, but to take the fourth year of language students must have begun study in the ninth grade. At this time only one class in Russian may be taken for study. Curriculum for a first year of any language is basically gram- mar, pronunciation skills and cultural patterns. Second year language courses place more emphasis on reading, transla- tion and conversation, but gram- mar and cultural studies are continued. Composition and book reading in the foreign language are the main units of study in the third and fourth years. Newly added to the Language Department is the language lab, used by the Spanish, French, German, and Russian Classes. The lab gives students practice in speaking and hearing the language they are studying. Be- cause all students speak at once, all get practice, while in a class- room only one student can speak at a time. Also, the laboratory. gives students an opportunity to hear a variety of native speakers instead of being limited to the teacher. . ' 1 languages M 'N MRS.
