Paul G. Collette C. Andre Branchaud Chairman Jean K. Jones LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT In first level French, Spanish, German and Latin courses, students are introduced to the speaking and listening process of learning. Situational dialogue, choral repetition, oral comprehension, and mastery of vocabulary are stressed using the language lab extensively. With the background of the courses above, a student may continue his education for college requirements by taking Intermediate French, Spanish, German, and Latin Level II. In this Level the student, using the four communication skills—listening, speaking, reading, and some-writing—and using the language lab twice per week will get greater knowledge of the subject. To continue to an Advanced Level III in French and Spanish the student must carry an 85 average in Level II and have recommendations from their previous teacher. Here in Level III a great emphasis is placed on reading comprehension and writing. If a student wishes to continue in this course Level IV is available which stresses primarily the literature, history and oral and written composition. For a more fluent understanding of the subject of French there is a Level V open to students with good grades and recommendations. New electives offered this year include the French Appreciation course. This two semester course, conducted in English, covers the important aspects of the history of France including its customs and geographical aspects. Any student who has successfully completed French I may elect to take this course. Denise Slaven
