Title | Oregon International Internship Program |
Body | The Oregon International Internship Program (OIIP) at CASLS started off as a link with Tamagawa University in Japan about 10 years ago. The model was then adapted by Yifang Zhang six years ago for Chinese and Taiwanese students. The program selects between 25 and 30 junior and senior students majoring in education from five partner schools in China and Taiwan. The OIIP is different from other regular exchanges because the students are placed in elementary schools (K-5) in Eugene and Springfield (OR) while living with a homestay family. Their five-month experience overseas is also maximized by the mentor support they receive. "It is a very meaningful program for our students in Asia. I'm always fascinated by their transformations and seeing how much they have grown," says Li-Hsien Yang, East Asia Special Programs Coordinator. So what do the students do?
