Edit ProfileCareer
He was William R. Kenan Professor of French and Italian at Dartmouth College where the Rassias Center uses his method. In 1964 he became Director of Language Programs at Dartmouth, working on language teaching programs for the Peace Corps. His method aims to "make the participant feel comfortable and natural with the language in a short period of time" and involves "teaching procedures and dramatic techniques which seek to eliminate inhibitions and create an atmosphere of free expression from the very first day of class".
He died in Norwich, Vermont on December 2, 2015 at the age of 90.
