The “Why”
  Our mission is to EMPOWER all students to become LIFE-LONG LANGUAGE LEARNERS with the
  KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS and ATTITUDES to compete successfully in a global society.




                                                                                                                 Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next
  We subscribe to the belief that all students should learn a world language and that this instruction should
  begin as early as possible. It is our goal to prepare students using the best knowledge available
  regarding foreign language pedagogy and to adapt curriculum and methods to achieve success for the
  greatest number of students.

  Communication is at the heart of what we do. Proficiency and skills development are the foremost goals.
  We believe that the study of the language system itself, while useful for some students, does not
  automatically result in the development of the ability to process language in real situations. Most learners
  learn a language best when they are provided opportunities to use the target language to communicate
  in a wide range of activities. This is why teachers will use the target language as much as possible in
  class. Students are equally expected to use the language with the teacher, orally and in written work, as
  well as in paired or group activities to exchange information or solve problems.

  To be truly proficient in a language requires an understanding and appreciation of the peoples who
  speak the language studied. This cultural knowledge includes the typical products of culture, history,
  geography, literature and the arts as well as the common routines and features of everyday life.
  Knowledge of the target culture(s) as well as an understanding of how it compares to our own is essential
  for a well-rounded education.

  Foreign language, like other subject areas, prepares students for life-long learning. Efforts to make
  connections to the community, learn technology skills, and develop research abilities are valuable
  components of the curriculum.
The “Why” (cont.)
   Teachers are encouraged to make connections with other disciplines so that students may be challenged to use
   the higher order thinking skills of synthesis and analysis. Students are also able to take better ownership of
   the material as they add new facts and gain better understanding of the material as they view it from different




                                                                                                                        Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next
   perspectives.

   With a diverse student body and the wide-range of course development and the teaching experience of our
   faculty, the Latin and Spanish sections of the Language Department establish the foundations for life-long
   language learning and cultural understanding.

   In our role as teachers of language and literature, we deal constantly with issues of identity and diversity.
   Therefore, our department is particularly well adapted to developing cross-cultural communication,
   internationalization and entrepreneurship among our students. Success is measured not only in the ability to
   speak, read and write the language of another culture, but also in the intellectual development of the individual
   as a whole.

   The Department of Languages prepares students for success on several levels. First and foremost, the study of
   foreign languages and literature is the foundation for critical thinking and communication. For the non-native
   student, our language courses develop the essential skills necessary to communicate in the target language and
   to gain access to another culture. For our Hispanic students who possess mainly an oral command of their
   language, we incorporate, within our Spanish classes, activities especially designed to improve their abilities in
   writing and reading.

   Second, by studying and learning another language, students learn about their own native language, its
   structures and syntax. It has been proven that second-language acquisition improves the student's
   communication skills in his own language.

   Third, our foreign literature and culture lessons introduce students to diversity of thought and experience,
   gaining perspective and deeper understanding of their own culture.

   Finally, the Language Department faculty, being so diverse, brings to the classroom a broad spectrum of
   knowledge and experience thus adding to students' understanding and enjoyment of the language.

Spanish Program Overview
 In the Lower School the emphasis on aural training and oral communication makes maximum use
 of the child’s natural ability to mimic at this age. Nursery rhymes, songs, stories, role-playing, art
   projects and games are used to teach elementary vocabulary such as colors, days of the week,




                                                                                                          Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next
     animals, seasons, and numbers. Children are encouraged to speak in full sentences, and are
  exposed to simple grammar through a method called Symtalk. This program uses the same type
    of verbal and visual memory techniques children experience when they first learned to speak.

   Vocabulary and sentence structure that is introduced initially with the Symtalk symbol cards is
    further developed in the Middle School as the 5th-6th grade program bridges the Symtalk
  program to the Realidades program used in the 6th grade and the Upper School. In addition to
  further developing students’ speaking and listening skills, in the Middle School there is greater
  emphasis on reading and writing and general grammar as the Realidades program in 6th grade
 provides more structured exercises and vocabulary study and is supplemented by two TPRS-style
                                          chapter books.

 The Upper School program continues the use of the Realidades series as students are exposed to
   more advanced linguistic work, including the study of past, future, and perfect tenses as well as
  the use of commands and a variety of writing and speaking styles, The 7th-9th grade curriculum
 takes advantage of students’ developing abilities in their native language to assess how languages
    function and to make connections between languages. As their writing abilities progress and
 students are demonstrating great accuracy in their work, there is also greater exposure to reading
        authentic materials in the target language through the use of several authentic texts.

       appropriate and engaging, this multifaceted 3-
       year curriculum has two goals: mastery of both
     Latin and English grammar and translation and
        cultural-historical understanding of Ancient
         Rome. In related work students examine the
         significance of word parts and derivations in
          determining the meaning of words in Latin,
        English, and Romance languages. Students are
      also introduced to Roman mythology, culture and
       political and social history. The techniques used
     for presentation and reinforcement of material are
        varied in order to address a variety of learning

First Latin
   First Latin is a text series that is a good preparatory for the Ecce Romani




                                                                                 Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next
  series. It is a text that allows for oral communication in Latin. Culturally
    and historically, the study of daily life in the time of Augustus and the
      various family life styles are ever present. Students are exposed to
   different myths, Roman religion, mythological creatures, Roman poets,
   and Roman history through readings and Latin sentences focussing on
   very basic Latin grammar structure. We also use Latin is Fun, a text that
  focusses more on Latin as a language. This text also incorporates culture,
   but using Latin as a tool. It is a more advanced grammar text than First
        Latin. The two texts complement one another in content both
       grammatically and culturally/historically. Both texts allow for a
   communicative and reading approach which adds zest to the program.
Ecce Romani




                                                          Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next
  Ecce Romani, the innovative, reading-based, Latin-
  language course originally developed by The
  Scottish Classics Group and widely adopted in
  American schools, meets contemporary classroom
  needs. Ecce Romani brings students to the point
  where they can read the Latin of classical authors
  with confidence. It also enhances general language
  learning techniques, including facility with English.
  Finally, it develops awareness of the culture of the
  Romans, its historical significance, and its
  contemporary relevance.

                  President of Alpha Mu Gamma from 1956 to 1960 in Los Angeles
                  City College. The first celebration was set for the week of
                  February 17 to 23, 1957. In recent years it has become the
                  practice to have NFLW during the first weeks of March.
                                                                                          6th Grade Spanish class with Pedro
                  On December 12, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent a            Ángel, the Vice Consul of El Salvador
                  telegram endorsing the celebration, and each succeeding
                  president has added his support.

  Trip to Spain   Taking place annually in the second week of March, Fessenden          Ongoing
                  Language Week is designed to celebrate the diversity of
                  languages used in U.S.A and throughout the world. Although it       Excursions and
                  focuses on two languages taught in the Fessenden schools: Latin
                  and Spanish, Language Week celebrates the teaching, learning           Guests
                  and use of ALL languages. Languages Week gives the Fessenden
                  school and it’s community the opportunity to recognize and value
                  the languages students speak at home or are learning at school
                  (or elsewhere). It provides an opportunity to develop students’
                  awareness of the languages around them as well, to high- light
                  the benefits of learning additional languages and to showcase the
                  achievements of those already learning languages – within the
                  school and the community. Through a series of contest,
                  presentations by our community members and Fessenden
                  Friends and guest speakers from consulates, cultral enrichment
                  programs, artist and performers, Fessenden students are given an
                  array of experiences that foster cultural awareness and better
                  understanding of the world.

Language in Motion
We think of it as an innovative, cooperative, outreach program using study-abroad returnees, international students, and upper-level language
students of the different Unversities in Boston to aid Fessenden’s K-9 teachers by creating and presenting language and cultural activities, and/or
“expert lessons” in their classrooms.

There would be three basic components:

Sharing the world with K-9 students
International students, upper-level language students, and study-abroad returnees regularly present in upper school, middle school, and lower school
classrooms to enrich language and cultural learning and to share their understanding of the country and culture. The teacher and presenter agree early
in the semester on the level and amount of language to be used. In language classes and classes ranging from Social Studies and English to Biology,




                                                                                                                                                      Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next
Art, Music, and Physical Education, College students will be able to present their expertise on their language and culture or in the field they are
studying as “experts” giving students a new, young and different prespective of the subject being studied.

Providing professional development opportunities for teachers
Being in close contact with the Universities in our community would open vias for our teacher’s professional development by making it available for
teacher to attend to Visiting Schoolar Workshops.

Why should College students participate in this program?
In addition to gaining valuable experience that will help in the classroom, in the workplace, and in life, some of the benefits:

  *   Improved communication skills * Opportunities for additional language practice
  *   A new look at your own and another culture * Chances to meet and work with new people
  *   An appreciative audience for their experiences * Respect for them and the language and culture they present
  *   Stimulating dialogue with teachers, students, and other presenters
  *   A better sense of the American educational system and American school students
  *   Fun and rewarding experiences * A chance to learn more about oneself
  *   Positive feedback * Community Service credit that would add to teir studies.

What will it offer to our teachers?
Language in Motion will offer teachers several opportunities for enriching their students’ learning experiences and for professional development.

We would offer a semi-annually changing group of college student presenters who are diverse, interesting, and passionate. They should have strong
second-language knowledge and international experience, either having returned from study abroad or having come on a study-abroad trip from their
home country. They will represent cultures from all over the world.

Teachers wuld choose the presenters they would like to have in their classes and work with to coordinate their appearance and scheduling. . Each
semester at a Teacher-Presenter workshop, participating teachers would have a chance to see short sample presentations, meet interested students
that woud like to participate at that time, and talk with them both about their expectations of presentation content and method and about their
students. The College students would then prepare class-length presentations on the chosen topics.
Mandarin Chinese
Why Learn Chinese?

There are many reasons! First, Chinese is the language of Nearly 1/4 of the World's Population. Speakers of Chinese not only live in China,
Taiwan, and Singapore, but also spread throughout Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe, where large Chinese communities
congregate. Chinese people today have been playing increasingly important roles worldwide.




                                                                                                                                                 Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next
Second, learning Chinese is an extraordinary and agreeable experience through which you can immerse yourself in a different culture. Unlike
most languages, Chinese has a unique ideographic writing system, which provides visual comprehensibility. The grammatical structure of
Chinese is not only logical, but also pragmatic, related to the particular way of Chinese thinking. Knowledge of the written language opens up
the culture of one of the world's oldest civilizations.

Third, traditional Chinese culture, from Confucianism and Chan Buddhism to martial arts and Chinese cuisine, has an enormous influence on
East and Southeast Asian nations. Chinese culture has also greatly inspired the western world through Marco Polo, G. W. Leibniz, Max Weber,
Franz Kafka, Andre Malraux, Bertolt Brecht, Ezra Pound, and Luis Borges, among others.

Last, but not least, the People's Republic of China currently boasts the fastest growing economy in the world and is widely regarded as the
potentially biggest global market in the twenty-first century. Proficient speakers of Mandarin Chinese will find jobs in various fields such as
business, government, international relations, information technology, tourism, education, translation and much, much more. Of all foreign
languages at American universities and colleges, Chinese shows the highest proportional increase in enrollment. Los Angeles Chinese
Learning Center, on the other hand, provides Chinese class at flexible schedule for working adults at reasonable rates.

Chinese language skills are increasingly in demand and schools nationwide are opting to update their Language Programs with the
opportunity for students to study Mandarin language. We, as a language department believes that this would be great step to adopt. We
would not only be giving broader opportunities to current language learners but would offer another possibility for our Mexican students
whose only option now is Latin and to the Korean population of students who would greatly be interested in joining a program such as this
for Chinese is a need for trade and business.

The Language Department proposal is to start offering Chinese to International students and those students who have completed 3 years of
another language study in a regular course or at least 2 years completed of another language in the honors track. This, while enriching our
Language Program would not affect in great manner to our current language courses.
In conclusion,
we aim for a love of learning
and of learning language.

                 We enjoy teaching your children because they are...




                                                                                                                      Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next
                                     honest: “Mrs. Garcia, are you married?”
                                                      “Yes.”
                                         “Is your husband also Spanish?”
                                                      “Yes.”
                                 “So you speak Spanish all day long Mrs. Garcia?”
                                                      “Yes.”
                                          “Oh that must be exhausting!”

   compassionate: Teacher decides that from now on everything in the class is going to be in Spanish. She tells the
    students that something really weird happened, and she bumped her head, and now, every time she enters the
     class, she only knows how to speak Spanish... The next day, a very worried mother comes into the class and
                                    wants to know how the accident happened and
                             if the teacher is okay because her son was very concerned.


        respectful: In discussing characters in the textbook, one student stood up for one of them by saying:
                                     “We’re all different. He’s just overweight.”

                                And because they are creative...
Thank you.

Ability TO Contrast Villa Life Against

Horace, Satires ii.6
Hoc erat in votis: modus agri non ita magnus,
hortus ubi et tecto vicinus iugis aquae fons
et paulum silvae super his foret. auctius atque
di melius fecere. bene est. nil amplius oro,
Maia nate, nisi ut propria haec mihi munera faxis.            5
si neque maiorem feci ratione mala rem
nec sum facturus vitio culpave minorem,
si veneror stultus nihil horum 'o si angulus ille
proximus accedat, qui nunc denormat agellum!'
'o si urnam argenti fors quae mihi monstret, ut illi,        10
thesauro invento qui mercennarius agrum
illum ipsum mercatus aravit, dives amico
Hercule!', si quod adest gratum iuvat, hac prece te oro:
pingue pecus domino facias et cetera praeter
ingenium, utque soles, custos mihi maximus adsis.              15
ergo ubi me in montes et in arcem ex urbe removi,
quid prius inlustrem saturis musaque pedestri?
nec mala me ambitio perdit nec plumbeus auster
autumnusque gravis, Libitinae quaestus acerbae.
Matutine pater, seu Iane libentius audis,             20
unde homines operum primos vitaeque labores

postmodo quod mi obsit clare certumque locuto
luctandum in turba et facienda iniuria tardis.
'quid tibi vis, insane?' et 'quam rem agis?' inprobus urget

Villa as Socio-Political
          Entity
As boys deepen their understanding of
Roman history, they learn that these villas
were only made possible when the wealthy
pushed poorer farmers off their land and
into the crowded cities

The “villa,” then becomes a symbol, the
abuse of power by the wealthy, the
dislocation of the poor, the subsequent
political unrest generated by these
Country Pleasure Palaces
Study of Julius
Caesar in 9th Grade
Studying Caesar and reading his
commentaries on the Civil War, the boys are
able to see how the massive disparities
between the Upper and Lower classes
resulted in turbulent, political urest

Boys are also able to read, in Caesar’s own
words, how he manipulated the political
situation to become dictator for life, thus
ending the Republic

  • 4. The “Why” Our mission is to EMPOWER all students to become LIFE-LONG LANGUAGE LEARNERS with the KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS and ATTITUDES to compete successfully in a global society. Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next We subscribe to the belief that all students should learn a world language and that this instruction should begin as early as possible. It is our goal to prepare students using the best knowledge available regarding foreign language pedagogy and to adapt curriculum and methods to achieve success for the greatest number of students. Communication is at the heart of what we do. Proficiency and skills development are the foremost goals. We believe that the study of the language system itself, while useful for some students, does not automatically result in the development of the ability to process language in real situations. Most learners learn a language best when they are provided opportunities to use the target language to communicate in a wide range of activities. This is why teachers will use the target language as much as possible in class. Students are equally expected to use the language with the teacher, orally and in written work, as well as in paired or group activities to exchange information or solve problems. To be truly proficient in a language requires an understanding and appreciation of the peoples who speak the language studied. This cultural knowledge includes the typical products of culture, history, geography, literature and the arts as well as the common routines and features of everyday life. Knowledge of the target culture(s) as well as an understanding of how it compares to our own is essential for a well-rounded education. Foreign language, like other subject areas, prepares students for life-long learning. Efforts to make connections to the community, learn technology skills, and develop research abilities are valuable components of the curriculum.
  • 5. The “Why” (cont.) Teachers are encouraged to make connections with other disciplines so that students may be challenged to use the higher order thinking skills of synthesis and analysis. Students are also able to take better ownership of the material as they add new facts and gain better understanding of the material as they view it from different Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next perspectives. With a diverse student body and the wide-range of course development and the teaching experience of our faculty, the Latin and Spanish sections of the Language Department establish the foundations for life-long language learning and cultural understanding. In our role as teachers of language and literature, we deal constantly with issues of identity and diversity. Therefore, our department is particularly well adapted to developing cross-cultural communication, internationalization and entrepreneurship among our students. Success is measured not only in the ability to speak, read and write the language of another culture, but also in the intellectual development of the individual as a whole. The Department of Languages prepares students for success on several levels. First and foremost, the study of foreign languages and literature is the foundation for critical thinking and communication. For the non-native student, our language courses develop the essential skills necessary to communicate in the target language and to gain access to another culture. For our Hispanic students who possess mainly an oral command of their language, we incorporate, within our Spanish classes, activities especially designed to improve their abilities in writing and reading. Second, by studying and learning another language, students learn about their own native language, its structures and syntax. It has been proven that second-language acquisition improves the student's communication skills in his own language. Third, our foreign literature and culture lessons introduce students to diversity of thought and experience, gaining perspective and deeper understanding of their own culture. Finally, the Language Department faculty, being so diverse, brings to the classroom a broad spectrum of knowledge and experience thus adding to students' understanding and enjoyment of the language.

  • 9. Spanish Program Overview In the Lower School the emphasis on aural training and oral communication makes maximum use of the child’s natural ability to mimic at this age. Nursery rhymes, songs, stories, role-playing, art projects and games are used to teach elementary vocabulary such as colors, days of the week, Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next animals, seasons, and numbers. Children are encouraged to speak in full sentences, and are exposed to simple grammar through a method called Symtalk. This program uses the same type of verbal and visual memory techniques children experience when they first learned to speak. Vocabulary and sentence structure that is introduced initially with the Symtalk symbol cards is further developed in the Middle School as the 5th-6th grade program bridges the Symtalk program to the Realidades program used in the 6th grade and the Upper School. In addition to further developing students’ speaking and listening skills, in the Middle School there is greater emphasis on reading and writing and general grammar as the Realidades program in 6th grade provides more structured exercises and vocabulary study and is supplemented by two TPRS-style chapter books. The Upper School program continues the use of the Realidades series as students are exposed to more advanced linguistic work, including the study of past, future, and perfect tenses as well as the use of commands and a variety of writing and speaking styles, The 7th-9th grade curriculum takes advantage of students’ developing abilities in their native language to assess how languages function and to make connections between languages. As their writing abilities progress and students are demonstrating great accuracy in their work, there is also greater exposure to reading authentic materials in the target language through the use of several authentic texts.

In related work students examine the significance of word parts and derivations in determining the meaning of words in Latin, English, and Romance languages. Students are also introduced to Roman mythology, culture and political and social history. The techniques used for presentation and reinforcement of material are varied in order to address a variety of learning styles.

It is a text that allows for oral communication in Latin. Culturally and historically, the study of daily life in the time of Augustus and the various family life styles are ever present. Students are exposed to different myths, Roman religion, mythological creatures, Roman poets, and Roman history through readings and Latin sentences focussing on very basic Latin grammar structure. We also use Latin is Fun, a text that focusses more on Latin as a language. This text also incorporates culture, but using Latin as a tool. It is a more advanced grammar text than First Latin. The two texts complement one another in content both grammatically and culturally/historically. Both texts allow for a communicative and reading approach which adds zest to the program.

Ecce Romani Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next Ecce Romani, the innovative, reading-based, Latin- language course originally developed by The Scottish Classics Group and widely adopted in American schools, meets contemporary classroom needs. Ecce Romani brings students to the point where they can read the Latin of classical authors with confidence. It also enhances general language learning techniques, including facility with English. Finally, it develops awareness of the culture of the Romans, its historical significance, and its contemporary relevance.

Sister Eloise Therese, the National President of Alpha Mu Gamma from 1956 to 1960 in Los Angeles City College. The first celebration was set for the week of February 17 to 23, 1957. In recent years it has become the practice to have NFLW during the first weeks of March. 6th Grade Spanish class with Pedro On December 12, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent a Ángel, the Vice Consul of El Salvador telegram endorsing the celebration, and each succeeding president has added his support. Trip to Spain Taking place annually in the second week of March, Fessenden Ongoing Language Week is designed to celebrate the diversity of languages used in U.S.A and throughout the world. Although it Excursions and focuses on two languages taught in the Fessenden schools: Latin and Spanish, Language Week celebrates the teaching, learning Guests and use of ALL languages. Languages Week gives the Fessenden school and it’s community the opportunity to recognize and value the languages students speak at home or are learning at school (or elsewhere). It provides an opportunity to develop students’ awareness of the languages around them as well, to high- light the benefits of learning additional languages and to showcase the achievements of those already learning languages – within the school and the community. Through a series of contest, presentations by our community members and Fessenden Friends and guest speakers from consulates, cultral enrichment programs, artist and performers, Fessenden students are given an array of experiences that foster cultural awareness and better understanding of the world.

  • 39. Language in Motion We think of it as an innovative, cooperative, outreach program using study-abroad returnees, international students, and upper-level language students of the different Unversities in Boston to aid Fessenden’s K-9 teachers by creating and presenting language and cultural activities, and/or “expert lessons” in their classrooms. There would be three basic components: Sharing the world with K-9 students International students, upper-level language students, and study-abroad returnees regularly present in upper school, middle school, and lower school classrooms to enrich language and cultural learning and to share their understanding of the country and culture. The teacher and presenter agree early in the semester on the level and amount of language to be used. In language classes and classes ranging from Social Studies and English to Biology, Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next Art, Music, and Physical Education, College students will be able to present their expertise on their language and culture or in the field they are studying as “experts” giving students a new, young and different prespective of the subject being studied. Providing professional development opportunities for teachers Being in close contact with the Universities in our community would open vias for our teacher’s professional development by making it available for teacher to attend to Visiting Schoolar Workshops. Why should College students participate in this program? In addition to gaining valuable experience that will help in the classroom, in the workplace, and in life, some of the benefits: * Improved communication skills * Opportunities for additional language practice * A new look at your own and another culture * Chances to meet and work with new people * An appreciative audience for their experiences * Respect for them and the language and culture they present * Stimulating dialogue with teachers, students, and other presenters * A better sense of the American educational system and American school students * Fun and rewarding experiences * A chance to learn more about oneself * Positive feedback * Community Service credit that would add to teir studies. What will it offer to our teachers? Language in Motion will offer teachers several opportunities for enriching their students’ learning experiences and for professional development. We would offer a semi-annually changing group of college student presenters who are diverse, interesting, and passionate. They should have strong second-language knowledge and international experience, either having returned from study abroad or having come on a study-abroad trip from their home country. They will represent cultures from all over the world. Teachers wuld choose the presenters they would like to have in their classes and work with to coordinate their appearance and scheduling. . Each semester at a Teacher-Presenter workshop, participating teachers would have a chance to see short sample presentations, meet interested students that woud like to participate at that time, and talk with them both about their expectations of presentation content and method and about their students. The College students would then prepare class-length presentations on the chosen topics.
  • 40. Mandarin Chinese Why Learn Chinese? There are many reasons! First, Chinese is the language of Nearly 1/4 of the World's Population. Speakers of Chinese not only live in China, Taiwan, and Singapore, but also spread throughout Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe, where large Chinese communities congregate. Chinese people today have been playing increasingly important roles worldwide. Home * Who * Why * What * Which Way * What Else * What Next Second, learning Chinese is an extraordinary and agreeable experience through which you can immerse yourself in a different culture. Unlike most languages, Chinese has a unique ideographic writing system, which provides visual comprehensibility. The grammatical structure of Chinese is not only logical, but also pragmatic, related to the particular way of Chinese thinking. Knowledge of the written language opens up the culture of one of the world's oldest civilizations. Third, traditional Chinese culture, from Confucianism and Chan Buddhism to martial arts and Chinese cuisine, has an enormous influence on East and Southeast Asian nations. Chinese culture has also greatly inspired the western world through Marco Polo, G. W. Leibniz, Max Weber, Franz Kafka, Andre Malraux, Bertolt Brecht, Ezra Pound, and Luis Borges, among others. Last, but not least, the People's Republic of China currently boasts the fastest growing economy in the world and is widely regarded as the potentially biggest global market in the twenty-first century. Proficient speakers of Mandarin Chinese will find jobs in various fields such as business, government, international relations, information technology, tourism, education, translation and much, much more. Of all foreign languages at American universities and colleges, Chinese shows the highest proportional increase in enrollment. Los Angeles Chinese Learning Center, on the other hand, provides Chinese class at flexible schedule for working adults at reasonable rates. Chinese language skills are increasingly in demand and schools nationwide are opting to update their Language Programs with the opportunity for students to study Mandarin language. We, as a language department believes that this would be great step to adopt. We would not only be giving broader opportunities to current language learners but would offer another possibility for our Mexican students whose only option now is Latin and to the Korean population of students who would greatly be interested in joining a program such as this for Chinese is a need for trade and business. The Language Department proposal is to start offering Chinese to International students and those students who have completed 3 years of another language study in a regular course or at least 2 years completed of another language in the honors track. This, while enriching our Language Program would not affect in great manner to our current language courses.
