The fall 2015 cohort of the Oregon International Internship Program will complete their 5-month internship on January 30th. This program sponsors students from universities in China, Japan, and Taiwan to come to the Eugene-Springfield area and gain valuable classroom experience by shadowing a mentor elementary school teacher for four days a week. This full-time internship is complemented by two courses at the University of Oregon on English pragmatics and teaching pedagogy. Students also live with an American family and gain valuable conversational and cultural knowledge to take back with them. CASLS honors their hard work and expresses gratitude to the mentor teachers and homestay families at the farewell party on January 22nd. Please join us in wishing the OIIP cohort well whereever their journeys may take them next!

For more information about OIIP, you can see our two prior spotlights on the program from September 14th, 2015, and December 21st, 2015, and/or please visit the website for more information about OIIP, how to become a homestay family, or how an OIIP intern can join your classroom.
