ESL Immersion Programme

Date: 08 Feb 2018
Time: 10:00 to 12:00
West Indies

Faculty from Colombia Adventist University (UNAC) participated in a one-month Immersion program coordinated by USC’s International Center for Corporate Training and Languages. The visit was made as part of an agreement between the Caribbean Union Conference of SDA and UNAC.

One of the participants, Ms. Nancy Gallego, a lecturer in English at UNAC stated that her visit to this English Speaking Caribbean University was the missing link to her English education and experience. “You have to understand and experience the culture,” A portion of the time spent at USC included beginning talks with the administration to form a new agreement between UNAC and USC, the two tertiary institutions.

This new agreement will yield tremendous benefit to both Universities and their students as is now evidenced by a Virtual Room that has been opened up to students of USC.

Ms. Gallego, who developed the Virtual Room as a thesis project for the completion of her master’s degree program is intent on growing the number of connections made through the Virtual Room and has invited students of USC who want to meet a penpal or Spanish friend who can help him/her learn the language to join this Virtual Room.
