From the term's CVP report
In the classroom: languages
Kites that carry poems, a hockey commentary in Hindi, word wheels in Tamil and job-offer posters in French: how the language departments teach.
The CVP report records not only the events of the term but also how lessons are taught. In every language taught at CIRS, teachers asked students to do something with the language: act it, build it, sing it or argue it.
