[Ghoulish Delight]

My mom teaches, errr, taught (she retired a couple months ago), "Spanish for Spanish speakers." It was for native speakers of Spanish, and it satisfied their foreign language requirement for college entrance. It ran essentially like an English class would. They weren't learning the language. Instead, they were reading literature and writing essays. Is this "wasted time"? Is it useless because they SHOULD be learning English? No, because it didn't replace their ESL studies (if they were still in ESL). It was a supplement, something else they could learn.
