The facilities for learning Spanish, French, German, and Chinese were greatly increased with the addition of a foreign language laboratory to the Foreign Language Department. Available to the student are taped recorded lessons for Span- ish I, IJ, II, IV; French I, II, II; German I, II; and Chinese 1. These facilities are also used by the shorthand students. The language laboratory enables the teacher to converse with one student while the remainder of the class is listening to a taped program or the teacher may speak to the entire class. Perhaps one day all our classes may be conducted in this manner.
