| Title | OIIP: Language and Culture Learning Coupled with Career Experience |
| Body |
Over the course of six months, OIIP students enroll in a course designed to specifically explore intercultural communication while they complete internships in Eugene-Springfield elementary schools. OIIP students share their native language and culture and help local students learn common core curriculum. In addition, OIIP students stay with local families to future learn about American family life. “I have learned authentic American education system by observing teachers. I have also met a lot of friends and learned how to be independent,” says Yu Dian, a current student in OIIP who served as an intern at Adams Elementary School. On Friday, January 12, CASLS said farewell to a group of eight OIIP students from Minzu University, East China Normal University, and National Chiayi University. OIIP will welcome another group of students in February. |
