Want to order from the menu
with that certain flair (or at least without making a fool of yourself
stumbling over the pronunciation)? Maybe
just want to feel confident that you could ask directions to the
restroom when you are in another country on vacation?
Then a
non-credit conversational language class may be just the thing.
But wait: Haven’t non-transfer level classes been eliminated
due to our budget woes? No! Not
in this case.
Our
conversational language classes, due to their popularity, still survive,
in another incarnation, through our Community Services Education
program.
Seven
language classes are offered on Saturday mornings on the Glendale
College main campus from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in 6-week sessions, four
times a year, starting in September, January, March, and June.
The languages are: Armenian, Chinese, French, Italian, Korean,
Japanese, and Spanish.
The
instructors are from among our regular full-time and adjunct faculty.
These
classes emphasize culture and conversation, providing instruction in
correct pronunciation, practical vocabulary, and useful phrases.
The atmosphere is fun and relaxed.
Teaching methods include class exercises, group activities and
other participative methods.
