Program:

This six-day class is taught by Dr. Shelley Thomas. Shelley is an associate professor of French and the founder and director of the Center for Accelerated Language Acquisition (CALA), a center for the research and application of methods of accelerated language acquisition. Parnerships for language classes and teacher-training have been formed both locally and internationally between CALA and the Department of Social Services, as well as with the Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization in southern India.

No previous French experience is assumed or required. At the same time, it is a challenging refresher for those who have had a year of the traditional language class of reading and writing, but would like more audio-lingual work.

Program:

Mr. Brian Roberts, language specialist for the State of Tennessee and trained by Dr. Thomas, teaches Beginning Spanish. This class assumes students have had no Spanish. At the same time, it is a challenging refresher for those who have had a year of the traditional language class of reading and writing, but would like more audio-lingual work.
