,X He who knows no oreign language N V1 A M .4 i' off' 16 w NTS? XJTUTYS One of the pleasures of learning a lan- guage at Classical is the opportunity to use the Language Laboratory. Here it is possible for the student of a foreign language to learn to speak this language more fluently and understand it more easily. Dr. Fredrick, chairman of the language department at Classical, is sitting at the console. From this point she is able to listen in to anyone in the booths enabling her to check on a student's pronunciation. Listening to Dr. Fredrick are Rodger Boe, Esther Ferster, Arline Horowitz and Myra Retchin. ln the booths, the students listen to the tape of the foreign language which they are studying. Each booth has its own set of ear phones and its own microphone. The student, therefore, can listen to the language and practice speaking it by either repeating sen- tences or answering questions. The Language Laboratory at Classical is helpful to the student in learning a foreign language. Stu- dents listening here are Myra Retchin, Rod- ger Boe, Arline Horowitz, Katherine Robert- son and Esther Ferster. New at Classical this year is the mobile unit of the Language Lab- oratory. This piece of equipment makes it possible for more students to use the Language Laboratory at the same time. This unit can be transferred from room 116 to 117. It works the same way as the Lan- guage Laboratory except that the microphone is attached to the ear- phones and they in turn are con- nected to an outlet. Thus, the stu- dent can listen to the tape and practice speaking at his own desk. Listening are Daniel Doyle, Thom- as Berard, Cary Circosta, and Me- lissa Bausman. Miss Meunier is at the console.
