LANGUAGES on etl tlt ARAMA AO eR ARN AOI BBE EO This year the Language Depart- ment has initiated a ‘change in ob- jectives.. More emphasis has been placed on oral ability, This change has been accomplished through the introduction of the kanguage Lab- oratory. All foreign language stu- dénts are participating in this pro- gram. By making use ef the labora- tory, each pupil has the opportunity to improve his speaking ability. As a result of the introduction of the new laboratory, the conversational courses have been omitted. In addition to instructions in speak- ing the language, instructions in read- ing and translating are also empha- sized. Third and fourth year Latin students combine to study, the writ- ings of Virgil and Cicero. Language students also participate in. linguistic ability contests. Each ‘year, in the spring, the French, Ger- man, and Spanish national contests are held; Latin students compete in the Baird Memorial Sight Translation Contest. “At the end of the year, students organize language banquets, at which time they can. put ‘bak new skills to work, “ROBERT CLOOS, Department Head
