In the French and Spanish classes, emphasis was placed first on oral fluency, then on reading and writing. Tape recorded dialogues helped beginners grow accustomed to hearing and speaking in a new language, while more advanced students read short stories, poetry, and novels, and then created literary masterpieces of their own. Because we are located so close to the nation’s capitol, many opportunities to utilize their knowledge opened up to the language students. Mrs. Sirkis and Mrs. Barth, Department Head.
