VGCC Franklin Campus offers Language Skills courses

Two Vance-Granville Community College classes scheduled to begin in September at the college’s Franklin County Campus , located on N.C. 56 near Louisburg, focus on learning ways to communicate.

VGCC will offer a Conversational Spanish course at its Franklin County Campus on Monday evenings, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Sept. 8 – Nov. 24. The course will teach non-Spanish speakers the basics of the language, with an emphasis on oral comprehension and verbal response skills. Nydia Dohnert will be the instructor. The cost of the course is $55, plus the cost of a textbook.

Starting Sept. 9, a Sign Language class for beginners will be held on the Franklin County Campus on Tuesdays from 6 until 9 p.m. The course will conclude on Nov. 25. Instructor Tonya Jester will help students learn a new skill that opens up a creative way of communicating with individuals who are hearing-impaired and verbally challenged. The cost to register is $55.

For more information and to register for one or both of the courses, call Franklin Campus Director Anthony Pope at (919) 496-1567.
