Foreign Language Assistants
Our students’ academic experience is enhanced through small group practice sessions --called Practicum-- led by Foreign Language Assistants (FLAs). Our FLAs are native speakers from Argentina, Peru and Spain who have been carefully selected from our study abroad sites and have undergone rigorous pedagogical training as language instructors. They also serve as ambassadors to 17³Ô¹ÏÍø students planning to study abroad in their home countries.
