French Teachers Attend
Summer Session Institute
Because of the unsettled conditions now pi evading in Europe, the
French teacher's neap est approach to ti aye! and study with etpet
ienced insttuctors whose mother tongue IN French IS the Institute of
French Education, conducted in the Main Summer Session, July 1 to
August 9
, Even in time, of peace in Eulople, most teachers of French in
American schools have found such institutes more economical and
better suited to then special needs
and preparation than foreign
travel Not that atiip to Fiance
in times of peace is to be dis
couraged However, many teach
ers who have gone there with the
hope of improving their ability to
speak French fluently come back
disappointed because they had not
been prepared to face the count
less minor difficulties which such
an undertaking implies
The Program
The course ()timings have been
Carefully selected and comdinated
to meet the special needs of teach
ers and students working for cer
tification in Pennsylvania and
other states, of for advanced de
grees The courses give excellent
preparation for the New York
state examination foi approval of
oral work in French This °Nam
!nation, usually given in August,
may be take in Slate College
In addition to the formal aca
demic work, numeious evening
lectures sic planned at which out
standing French educatois and
writers will discuss the current
economic, political, social, and re
ligious problems which confront
France today The historical
background of the country and
the consequent seasons for her
present attitude towaid the Allied
and Cential Poweis will be con
sidered also
No English Rule
The principle of the exclusive
use of the French language in and
out of the classroom will be ob
served strictly This is the very
base of the pedagogic stiuctuic of
the Institute However, it is the
desire of the Institute to welcome
not only students alicady-pioft
ent in Fiench conversation, but
also those who inspite of several
years of French study, have not
had a sufficient oppoitunitv for
oral practice
