We said good bye to several student programs last month: Tamgawa, Oregon International Internship Program and Waseda CS-L. In the Tamagawa program, the students all aspire English teachers in Japan. They first began their journey with 4-week Oregon Experience Program, then two terms to study English in American English Institute, and finally a K-12 educational internship. Student interns at OIIP are from China and Taiwan; they are placed in Eugene/Springfield areas for 5-month to serve as teaching assistants in local classrooms. Finally, the Waseda program welcomes students of all English proficiency levels. It is a combination of AEI and UO customized program for the whole academic year.

"It was always difficult to say good bye to the students. It has been a pleasure working with all these students and seeing them grow through their study abroad experiences," says Li-Hsien Yang, East Asia Programs Director. Following the farewell, CASLS is gearing up to get ready for new students for couple of different programs. We are always looking forward to revising and improving our curricula and programs for our students so that the new changes will enhance their experiences
