Project begins
Dallas Post/Ed Campbell
If you've been thinking about
going back to college or starting
your college education but feel it
might be too late to register
because most classes have already
begun, you may want to consider
the weekend program at Luzerne
County Community College.
Designed for the person who
works a five day week, housewife
who can’t get away during the
week, or part-time and full-time
student trying to fill degree require-
ments, the weekend program at
LCCC is scheduled to begin on
Saturday, Sept. 24, and run through
Sunday, Dec. 4.
The weekend program at LCCC
offers a variety of three credit
course in the areas of business,
science, humanities, mathematics,
child development, psychology and
sociology and classes are offered
during the daytime hours on Satur-
days and Sundays.
John Pisano, associate dean of
continuing education at LCCC,
noted, ‘Among the more popular
course offerings for this semester’s
weekend program are Principles of
Accounting, Typing, Introduction to
Data Processing, Word Processing,
English Composition and General
Psychology.”
Other courses to be offered for the
minology, Shorthand and Transcrip-
tion, Principles of Sociology, several
Child Development courses, and
Fundamentals of Chemistry.

one half hours each weekend.

Jagger
teaches
course
English as a Second Language, a
non-credit course, will be offered by
College Misericordia for eight
weeks.
The class, to be held Tuesdays
and Thursdays, will be taught by
Ellen M. Jagger, who holds a
master’s degree in English as a
Second Language and Spanish.
The teaching of English as a
Second Language, or ESL, is about
as old as America itself. As immi-
grants poured into the country in
the eighteenth and nineteenth centu-
ries, it was the churches which took
on the responsibilities of teaching
the new residents the English lan-
guage.
Only in the last few years was a
curriculum developed for the teach-
ing of ESL. The Peace Corps was
instrumental in designing the cur-
riculum; thousands of Peace Corps
volunteers teach English in coun-
tries all over the world.
Mrs. Jagger’s course in ESL will
be designed to meet the needs of the
individuals in the class. About 80
percent of the course will focus on
conversational skills. A small por-
tion of the course will address
ELLEN M. JAGGER
reading and writing in English.
According to Mrs. Jagger, North-
eastern Pennsylvania is home to
many people for whom English is a
second language. Medical profes-
sionals, businessmen and their fam-
ilies are just several examples.
Mrs. Jagger feels that the ESL
course could be especially helpful to
not have the chance to use English
everyday as part of their work.
The ultimate goal of the course,
Mrs. Jagger notes, is to rid people
of the fear of making mistakes
when speaking. The only way to
learn the language, she says, is to
get out there and use it.
