Students will learn how to effectively communicate around town and on campus, and will study culturally appropriate behavior within the social and academic context of the US. Guest speakers will present cultural topics of interest. Service learning will be conducted at local destinations to better understand culture within these places and increase students’ sense of global citizenship. Field trips focused on American culture and history are frequently taken to give students practical exposure and experience. Involvement in campus life is encouraged to help students begin using their English outside of the classroom in natural settings.
