New Ways of Learning Foreign Language Department l From left to right: Ann Blower, Ruby Mc- Bride-Chairman of the Department, Margaret Shidler, and William Wells as they enter a brightly revamped building. , William Wells listens critically as the tape recorder re- produces a conversat on in Spanish. 26 'lla' v ac ,div 5 iv . i 1 Aural-Oral training is new in the language Department. Learning by hearing, then speaking, instead of burying pupils in books, has been instituted in some of the conversational Spanish and French classes. We shall never forget the difficulty our leaders and movie actors and farmers had in conversing with Russia's Strong Man. Language barriers presented with our many foreign visitors in 1959 only emphasize the need for a more workable use of many tongues as the people of the world try to move closer and closer together in peace. ln- structors in NCHS are fully aware of this world need. Staff members offer Spanish and French for two years and Latin for four. Two levels of ability have been taken into con- sideration in setting up these classes. Learning languages in new and lively-colored rooms, the pupils take a deeper interest in vital and usable living lan- guages.
