Mrs, Sandra Fiorentino BA Univ. of Pittsburg Mrs. Kathleen McKinney Dept. Head AB San Diego State The objectives of the Language Department are to give to the studeri; a basic skill in speaking a foreign language and an appreciation of the culture involved. The ultimate purpose of language study is to develop fluency in the use of the language as a means of communication both oral and written. Learning a language expands the students' experience through references to other countries, customs, manners, and idioms of speech. It is hoped that students will become more understanding and cosmopolito.n as a result of their language experience. As more students prepare for travel, it is important that they have a familiarity with the uniqueness of a foreign land. Mrs. Car.delaria Sanchez BA Arizona Stare Univ.
