Margaret Frowe and Mrs. Suzanne Arguello. Two others, Mrs. Betty Halsell and Mrs. Ellen Killerlain, are expected to join the classes in the near future.

All usually teach in the winter, when classes are usually made up of international students and the spouses of those students. However, Mrs. Maxson says, "We could use many more teachers. "We use volunteers, but they must be screened," she says, "because we want our program to be of the highest quality possible." SHE SAYS a volunteer does not have to be a teacher, "but it helps," and that she likes the prospective teachers to attend an English workshop, which she will hold near the end of August. "We've been able to manage, but I definitely hope we can continue through the fall and I would like to have more teachers for that," she says.

The need for the Vietnamese people to grasp English is urgent in that they must have English "to communicate with an employer," Mrs. Maxson says. "My observation in the last weeks is they definitely want to become independent and self-supporting," she says. She related the story of the Cuban man who first arrived with his family and only spoke Spanish. AFTER WORKING five years as a maintenance man at various places, he started his own business.

Mrs Maxson says this man called her recently to see if he could offer employment for a Vietnamese refugee and offered the use of an apartment as well. "It has been a wonderful thing," Mrs. Maxson says. "Because he had been helped, he wants to help the Vietnamese "I could tell you beautiful stories through next week about this same kind of thing," she says.

Trelease, D.D., Bishop Episcopal Church! ore listed in th Vliow Pages By DEVISE TESSIER Color snapshots of Saigon and a group of photographs captioned "Lovely Ladies of Vietnam," decorate the walls of a room at the First Baptist Church's Youth Center. And two mornings and two nights each week, that room fills with the sounds of voices and clapping of more than 30 Vietnamese people, who join together in song with the 10 Americans who volunteer their time to help these people either improve their English or learn it for the first time. MRS. HELEN MAXSON, director of the English class program says "urgency and emergency" are two words that best describe what has developed since Vietnamese refugees first began arriving in Albuquerque.

But the "emergency and urgency" of helping the Vietnamese "overcome their first barrier, the English language," Mrs. Maxson says, is not new to the English teachers or to the church. This same need became urgent, she says, when a refugee family sponsored by the church came from Cuba 13 years What began as a small family ministry, she says, has expanded into an International Family Ministry, which includes English classes and an International Dept. Sunday mornings. The Vietnamese-English classes started with one student.

Now 63 are enrolled. "WE DON'T normally teach English in the summer," Mrs. Maxson says. the need for the Vietnamese to learn English was urgent enough for the teachers, who had worked all winter teaching English to people of many nationalities, to give up their summer vacation. Though none of the teachers speak Vietnamese, Mrs.

Maxson says it is "not necessary for us to know Vietnamese to teach them English. If you know their language, you would be inclined to explain in Vietnamese and they would not have to put forth the intellectual effort." Each of the class sessions, held Wednesday ana Friday-mornings and Tuesday and Thursday evenings, begins with singing "The Vietnamese like to sing and because of their native tonal language, they sing beautifully," Mrs. Maxson says. And sometimes, "they can sing a sound that they cannot say, and when they see how they are singing it, it helps them say it." ONE OF THESE words is "moon." The Vietnamese, in their melodic tongue, tend to say "moo-un," Mrs. Maxson says.

But in one of the songs, they sang "moon," and the word's sound was realized. After the last notes of the piano are played on the tape recorder (which is used when the pianist is not available), the people, who are mostly adults, go into separate rooms, according to how much English they know. There are as many levels of English taught as there are volunteers, Mrs. Maxson says. Vietnamese children are currently attending special classes set up by the Albuquerque Public Schools.

As the group splits up and Mrs. Maxson helps class newcomers determine with which teacher each should go, those who need help with conversational English stay behind, waiting for their teacher, Mrs. Maxson. One young Vietnamese man near the piano plays a one-finger renciton of a Scott Jopiir. tune which was used as the theme of the movie "The Sting." Wfien Mrs.

Maxson returns, class begins. "WE USE pictures, objects, tapes, overhead projectors; we demonstrate, we do role playing, we do everything imaginable to get points across," Mrs. Maxson says. The teachers, two of whom are former APS teachers, do have some help, however. Miss Nguyen Hahn, a University of New Mexico student, donates her time translating some things for the benefit of those who do not know any English, and helps with difficult parts of the lessons.

Though the classes are for the purpose of teaching English, Mrs. Maxson says, "We do not feel our program would be complete if we did not share our faith in Christ with them." She stressed that religion is not forced on the people, but is shared with them. "We realize a number of these people are Buddhists, but at the same time, some may be interested in learning about Christianity," she says. "We don't want to force Christianity on them, but want to share it with them." SHE SAID the International Dept which meets Sunday mornings, was started because many international students in the English classes "wanted to learn more about Christianity, and we couldn't take the time during the English classes." These Sunday classes, she says, have been attended by-more than 500 people from more than 50 countries during the past 15 years. The English classes started with the arrival of two Cuban refugees and "within maybe three weeks time I had 14," Mrs.

Maxson says, adding, "and that was me by myself," As ethers Jearneijof the the groups grew and now Mrs. Maxson is helped by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Key, Mrs. Faith Lutheran Church, ALC CHURCH SEIVICIS 8:30 10,000 Spain Rd.
