Passing the open door of a class- room in the language area this year, the Warren student might have heard the tape-recorded voice of a German as he drilled the class in speaking, or possibly the stirring sound ot the French national anthem as the class sang it, accompanied by a record. These were signs of the many methods and activities employed by the Foreign Language department in the study of French, German, Latin, and Spanish at Warren. ln the modern foreign language classes, emphasis was placed on speak- ing. Equipped with tape-recorders and tapes ot actual speaking citizens, the language laboratory gave students a chance to record and hear their own voices. As supplementary material, Warren- ites also read native short stories, sang songs, and viewed tilms explaining the customs and historical features of the country being studied.
