Foreign language uses help from tape Third year French students listen to a taped lesson by the use of headsets. The equipment aid- ed classes immensely in the study of all foreign languages. The foreign language department, headed by Mr. Paul Lemke, experi- enced its third year of audio-lingual methods of teaching in French and Spanish. Films, filmstrips, and tapes were an important part of the presentation. The language lab helped students learn of their progress as the instructor listened to them individually and helped them with their dialog pronounciation. Several students returned to Span- ish classes in September after spending their previous summer or portions of it in Spanish-speaking countries. Janet Bossard, spent her summer in Spain. Dennis Hansen was sent to Mexico to live with a family for six weeks after qualifying in a test of general knowledge of the language. Terri Mensch visited Mexico on her owm. Mr. Derman Villacorta, Spanish exchange teacher from Peru, re- turned to teach his second and final year before returning to teach in his country. Third year Spanish classes had the advantage of being separated into two classifications for the first time, with the new Y lane as an experi- ment. German students used lab in- struments for the first time in the classroom. Latin students oc- casionally took advantage of the language lab, but used text materi- als widely. German students also use headsets. Mr Tom Dohrmann ' s second year class listens, recites, and then works on words. 18 Languages
