,i W of Foreign Languages With the increase of world problems and the de- velopment of communication which makes us only a few minutes from any place in the world, the need to know and understand aspects of various world cultures becomes apparent. Foreign language classes at Parkview provide an opportunity for each student to learn about a foreign land, its language, and its people. Language students learn the fundamentals of grammar and basic vocabulary in the introductory courses. Advanced classes stress literature and ad- vanced grammar. The background and culture of the countries is studied through songs, tapes, rec- ords, and literature.
