The audiolingual approach used, in Spanish and French classes, helped students to develop the acute ear needed to pick up special sounds. One of the keys to this approach was the language lab, which was used as an aid and a supplement for reinforcing what had been taught in the classroom. Speaking was concentrated on in first year classes. Dialogues were memorized and performed in class. The emphasis was placed upon reading and writing in the other levels. Literary selections, plays, poetry, and short novels added flavor to these classes. Sr. Gabriella's third period seniors read and discussed PagnoI's Topaze. Latin, called the dead language, was very much alive under Sister Annette's teaching. Speaking in this class wasn't as important as in Spanish and French, but the upper divisions had the opportunity to read the classic works of Cicero and Virgil in their original forms. Knowledge of other civilizations and cultural heritages plus the ability to communicate in another tongue enables future linguists to pave the way towards international understanding. 23
