WTC
Expands Foreign Language Program
The
World Trade Center is joining forces with Alpha Tech Communications
(previously known as inlingua) to offer comprehensive language services
to WTC members and others in the Greater New Orleans area.
Starting
the week of February 21, a 10-week session will be held at the WTC
Building at 2 Canal Street twice a week after business hours. Among
the languages offered will be Spanish, French, Italian and German,
as well as Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and English as a
Second Language.
The
cost for all of these classes for a six-student group session is
$175 for WTC members and tenants, and $350 for the general public.
Free parking is available in the WTC garage on Poydras Street. Private
Accent Reduction, Business English, and TOEFL preparation classes
can also be arranged.
Alpha
Tech uses the interactive direct method of instruction, which focuses
on developing speaking and understanding skills in a short time.
Native
speakers of the target language teach the classes, and there is
virtually no translation during class. This forces the students
to not only find the words in the language they are learning, but
also to develop the skills needed to get their ideas across, even
when they do not know all the words or the correct grammar for a
sentence.
These
courses emphasize business vocabulary and have a strong intercultural
element. The direct method is one of the methods of preference used
worldwide by language training organizations.
For
further information about the WTC language classes, call Alpha Tech
at (504) 454-6554. Alpha Tech also provides professional translation
and interpreting (consecutive and simultaneous) services to WTC
members at a 10 percent discount off the normal rates.
