Clemens in his second life. mi mmm «R Ml AP. EIR, MA, PE, ESL .. . wait . . ESL? What does that stand for? Does it taste good? Docs it save lives? Are you kidding??? A lot like a family, ESL is short for English as a Second Lan- guage and has roughly sixty enroUees (twice as many as last year). Taught by rookie Julie Fowler in her first year at Dana Hills, the program serves students from Mexico, Gua- temala, Bolivia, El Salvador, China, Hungary, Japan, Iran, France, Czechoslovaka, Thailand, and the Philippines, and elsewhere. Ms. Fowler is extremely enthusiastic about her program, as everything within the classroom seems to be going very smoothly. She feels that the most important message that the D.H. student body ought to be aware of is that her foreign students need just as much, if nore more, sup- port as everybody else. Because English fluency takes a good five to seven years to master, many of her students feel very alone and alienated here in California. Many are finding it difficult to reach out without feeling rejected. The average Dana Hills student doesn ' t seem to realize this fact, much less care. Ms. Fowler is mainly concerned with her students ' well-being and ac- ceptance. We all will reap great benefits from what each culture has to offer us! -v.y. 50 U M itf i
