,A Z ,iff Language Programs Stress Oral Presentations Each graduate of Cohoes High School is required to take four years of English. The students are prepared for the future by an enriched English program which stresses the knowledge of writing, vocabulary and literature. In the Senior year, each student is required to write a research paper and give an oral report. This is a valuable experience to the student for the future. In the field of foreign languages, students may elect Latin or French courses, obtaining a three or four year major if desired. French is taught by the audio-lingual method which integrates the four skills of hearing, speaking, reading and writing. FACULTY: MR. STEPHEN AKULLIAN, M.A. H Eng- lish 9, Senior Deang MRS.
