Summer Language Abroad Re-Entry

(0.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This is the required pre-departure course for those accepted to the upcoming summer cohort of the CSLC's Foreign Language Internship Program (FLIP). We meet weekly as a group for 50 minutes and on a semi-monthly basis/as-needed one-on-one with the instructor for individualized feedback and preparation. Outside of these meeting times, students can expect to spend an average of 60-90 minutes of preparation for the next week's content. Through this course, cohort participants hone career-readiness skills like résumé writing, interviewing, and networking in an global and multilingual context. The first half of the semester, energies will be dedicated to securing internship placements. The second half will focus on developing intercultural communication skills to lay the groundwork for success and resilience during summer experiential placements.
