Former English Professor Teaches Foreign Students Back in 1944, Janies N. Shep perd, instructor in English at Texas A&M, was assigned the task of teaching English to 11 Latin-American students. Twenty-two years later, Shep perd, now an assistant professor, still teaches foreign students from all areas of the world. “One day Dr. Thomas Mayo, then department head, called and asked me to teach those boys,” Shepperd recalled. “I was con fused . . . because I could say only ‘Si’ and ‘No’ in Spanish. That first day I was so nervous I couldn’t say those words under pressure.” Since that fateful day, Shep perd has become adept in dealing with international students. He studied Latin and Greek as a stu dent, but has picked up a smat tering of other languages through the years. Shepperd, who earned masters and bachelors degrees in English at the University of Texas, is quick to discredit colleagues who aid foreign students. “Every man who teaches or counsels these students goes be yond his duty in helping them,” he contends. A native of Tyler, Shepperd uses numerous devices to drama tize communication difficulties. He favors idioms — adaptations of situations familiar to all na tionalities — as a teaching tool. “Foreign students are allowed “They are anxious to complete their work here quickly and go home,” he added. “It’s not easy to learn a language, though. “Most foreign students are ex ceedingly emotional,” Shepperd went on. “Realizing that they do not do best when their minds are not at ease, I make a game out of many assignments. One of his props is a telephone. Students converse in English, asking and answering questions posed by Shepperd. Sometimes the professor re quires library reports of his stu dents. “I send them to six or eight different departments,” he said, “to insure against the shar ing of information.” The younger foreign students BATTALION CLASSIFIED Political Announcements Subject to action of the Dem ocratic Primary May 7, 1966.
