NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.MALE STUDENT:Hi professor, I was hoping to ask you a few questions about the class you're teaching next semester, the course on Polish Drama? [upspeak] I was thinking of taking it.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well, that's an upper division course. You don't look familiar to me.Are you a student in this department?MALE STUDENT:No, actually, I’m not.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Ok, have you had other classes in the Slavic languages department—here or somewhere else?MALE STUDENT:No, that's the thing. I was just wondering how good my Polish would have to be, whether the class is taught Polish or not.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well,
you'd have to have some knowledge of it.By that level a lot of students are quite fluent, plus there're some native speakers in the department.And we don't plan for it to happen, but it's pretty common for the discussions to kind of move in and out of English and Polish and it can be difficult to follow,so, how well do you speak Polish?MALE STUDENT:Hmm, not so great.It's just that my father's from there, so I'm interested in learning about... you know, Polish history, Polish culture.Plus, I’m studying drama—I’ll probably major in it—I love plays.
