Language Department Recreates Cultures Mrs. Foster, Mr. Tuzeneu, Mrs. Couch, Mr. Farrand, Ms. Postlewate, Mrs. Ward, Mr. Lauderdale. Monsier Tuzeneu, Senora Couch, Madame Foster, Magister Farrand, Madame Postlewate, Magistra Ward, and Monsieur Lauderdale make Harpeth Hall ' s language department tres magnifique, because they are well-qualified, enthusiastic, and interested in their subjects. Although they use a variety of teaching methods, they all firmly believe in speaking the language in class. As Mr. Tuzeneu often says, it does not do you any good to know the parts of the violin if you cannot play it. Likewise, students must learn not only to read and write a foreign language, but also to speak it. Harpeth Hall has a demanding language program that prepares students well for national exams and college language courses. The language teachers also encourage their students to participate in the extracurricular activities that they sponsor, such as French Club, JCL, Spanish Club and Foreign Exchange Club. By teaching students to read, speak, write, and understand a foreign language, the members of the Language Department hope to interest students in other cultures and ideas and give them a window to the world.
