Language Language Department. In a world rapidly growing too small for anything but brotherhood, the ability of the language student to communicate with other people and to appreciate his culture has become increasingly important. At Nottingham greater emphasis is being placed upon the conversational approach to teaching modern languages. Before they are introduced to grammar, students of French, Spanish, and German become familiar with the spoken language through laboratory .ss UV' work and dialogues in everyday situations. The more advanced classes are exposed not only to mechanics but to cultural backgrounds and literature. Latin if offered for those who wish to continue studies begun in iunior high school. Second year classes translate Julius Caesar's War Commentaries, and the Orations of Cicero present deeper and more technical study to third year pupils. The fourth year class translates several books of Virgil's Aeneid and makes an extensive survey of classical culture and mythology. l iw Q., is 2 , 'fs 23 XA., Z? ew 1 1 savvy, gf .,.. ,,, H iggs, ff 'V X in ri L, sg 4 . 4 ff is if 1 5 4 ,qu fs s we ' ., fi.
