"I'm very proud of this project I push this one harder than any of the others," Wakefield said. Other services provided by the center include Bible study and Christ education, and informal worship service on Sunday. The informal services are really neat. We have students playing a guitar and sitting around the floor in Levi's. It's very relaxed, no preaching," he said. Wakefield said social activities also play an important role at the center, and people from all religious backgrounds participate, even LDS students. "At no point do we check an LD. card. Even in the area non-studen- ts are welcome." Wakefield said they also sponsor retreats and informal Bible study each Friday at noon.

That was either because we were buying somebody else's courses that came down through PBS or you were trying some local person, with no way to make it really attractive." But DCE is now airing live classes that let students communicate directly with the instructor. Students are encouraged to meet at DCE campuses, where they can interact both with the instructor by telephone and with other students in the classroom.; A telephone at the viewing locations connects students to the instructor. Students can interrupt with questions and have direct contact with the instructor. A few telecourses are taped, not live, but an instructor- - is available for telephone, calls broadcast. during the "This works. When we simply had people try to do it from their homes, it wasn't working. If they can come in to a collective spot, join with other students, maybe argue during their break, have the right to phone in, then it suddenly works." , Each quarter's telecourses, as well as all other DCE classes and programs, are listed in Class Edition, the DCE bulletin. -- immersion from page B-1- 7 where you are "out of sync with that culture, but are trying to come to grips with that culture." "It's a powerful learning experience," Sternfeld said. "I hope this (program) gives students a broader concept of what it means to enter another culture. "Students come to acquire the language as a result of having grappled with the culture," he said. "Those coming out of the immersion program have a much greater chance of going on past the fifth quarter. More students feel they nave been empowered by their language and that becomes motivation. It's become part of them and they want to learn more. "And that's what education all be about empowerment, not the transformation of information," should Sternfeld said. "That's what I think people computers do need more." But what about poor Monsieur Molen, who we left earlier as he was beating himself up? By week seven of the class, he had this to say: "I can now speak in French. No matter how incorrect grammatically it is, I can speak and understand it on some level." Does he plan on continuing in the program? "Definitely, " he said. "I like it a lot more than the traditional method." Sternfeld agrees. "The rewards (of the program) are the rewards that come from good education rather than efficient training," he said. "Education is not about efficiency. It's about challenging students to go beyond themselves, to question beliefs, to willingly engage in conflicts, mindful of the fact that it is the resolution of conflict, rather than the evasion of conflict that makes us grow." vwMI p(2(i)r wnM fey try y All you want to do is finish your term paper and turn it in on time.
