Because ol' the added emphasis on hearing and understanding the language, students and teach- ers are making much use oi' our thirty booth APN' language lab. the two smaller individual record- ing rooms, and our supply ol' tape recorders and record players. Filmstrips and supplementary - books and magazines enable the student to learn l not only the language but the customs and tradi- tions ol' the people who speak it. g' ,,., ,A gf., x Q, LMA- ..a , .
