MR- LARRY OLIVER SPANISH AND PAINTING Bachelor of Arts, 1964 Arizona State University Freshman Class Sponsor Spanish Club Sponsor Entender y hablar.” Spanish students not only learn the language itself, but the country's traditions and cultural heritage. The Audio-Lingual Method was chosen for the teaching of modern foreign languages in order to indicate the emphasis placed on the development of listening and speaking skills. The use of this title does not mean that this program neglects the equally important skills of reading and writing. The program is based on the conviction that language is first of all speech, and that the ability to communicate by means of spoken words is of primary importance. A new class offered this year was painting. The following media were used in painting: water colors, tempera, and toward the end of the year some students worked in oils. Not only painting was stressed but also drawing. Charcoal, chalk and pencils were used for these drawings.
