Language Summer Academy

Building 21^st Century Skills with Language Skills

Elevate your Chinese or Spanish proficiency while building your problem solving, collaborative and social responsibility skills to make yourself more competitive as a global citizen in the 21st century. Join our experienced language faculty, student teaching assistants, and ambassadors majoring and minoring in Chinese or Spanish for two weeks of activity-packed immersive language engagement.

At the end of the two weeks, students will be able to use their language skills to speak with a general knowledge of the geography, history, survival dialogue, currency exchange, and culture of the countries of the target language in meaningful ways.

Additional course details:

• Language Building Blocks and Language into Action sessions in the morning will equip students with the linguistic tools to engage in discussions in the target language about travel and tourism suitable to their language proficiency levels.
• The Language Project Studio will take place in the afternoon. Students will be collaborating on projects designed to tackle traveling plans, tourism, and being and communicating in a different culture.
• During daily College Life Conversation Circles, students will have the opportunity to ask questions about exploring the reality of college life, which includes academic and extra-curricular opportunities and career paths.

Students will earn 1 college credit upon completion of this academy.
