Jamie Davis, assistant professor of Spanish and French at WCU, and his students are teaching Macon County and Jackson County employees useful Spanish phrases specific to individual jobs in each division of public health and law enforcement, including environmental health, nursing, dentistry, nutrition, clerical work, family planning and prenatal care. Mr. Davis distributes printouts and MP3 audio recordings of pertinent phrases as a reference guide to help employees continue to practice after the learning program is over.
