I do not use voicemail extension. To leave a message, tell one of the secretaries or the student workers who answer the switchboard, to physically handwrite a note and place it in my REG BOX: 1118.

 

NOTE: I do not use my voicemail.

 

APPOINTMENTS: I am on an appointment-only basis. Drop-in is not encouraged. I am involved in quite a bit of activity here at Lowell and my schedule is hectic. I would rather give you quality time by an appointment rather than having it seem like I'm blowing you off. Thanks for understanding.

MODS 16-17 (18)        FRENCH 5

I teach students the 3 B's. To be:

Bilingual         Bicultural         Biliterate

As you know, the World Language Department here at Lowell follows the California state Framework. Students are expected to learn to communicate in the target language by using the four basic skills: 1. listening 2. speaking 3. reading 4. writing.

I employ a variety of teaching methods as well as classroom organization models to attain this goal. Students will be expected to communicate in diverse ways in the target language rather than merely showing knowledge about the language. Students learn and practice receiving, formulating and sending real oral messages in the target language. The purpose of world language study is to prepare students in such a way as to make them both linguistically competent and culturally aware, and to enable them to experience personal fulfillment that comes through developing these skills.
