Each Spanish and French class spends one day a week in the language laboratory working to improve pronunciation. The equipment in the laboratory enables the teacher to listen to the entire class or only one student at a time without halting the rest of the class. The laboratory class, however, does not replace the teacher. The teacher ex- plains the grammar and idiosyncrasies ot the language and acquaints the students with the customs and characteristics of the people.
