for overseas they will be available for language
training only 4-6 weeks. This group is using a programmed
course, which is supplemented with two class sessions and
movies each day.
5. Among the four programmed courses in French
which are now available to LTS, three are being used
with students. Thirteen students (including the above
mentioned CT's) are using a short course. Another full-
time beginner is using a programmed course of long
duration. A third student, who is intermediate, is
following a more advanced programmed course part-time.
Initial reaction from all these students is enthusiastic
despite the long hours of laboratory work.
6. A full-time course in Arabic was started on
6 December for one student from Commo.
