Community-Based Language Learning Internship

Course Description

The Community-Based Language Learning Internship is for language education students or students returning to the Conversation Tree: Community-Based Language Partnerships (formerly the SALSA program). The course provides a curriculum-based service-learning experience built upon a community-identified need for English language instruction and aligns with the university's mission of contributing to the cultural and social well-being of the community. In this internship, students continue to serve as an English conversation facilitator or team leader at community partner sites alongside students enrolled in the Community-Based Language Learning (CBLL) and CBLL leadership courses. Students will continue to develop knowledge and skills to foster the language development of adult English language learners, as well as skills related to working together as a team (collaboration, communication, flexibility, etc.). Prerequisite: Students must have taken CBLL (05:300:406) or Principles of Second and Foreign Language Acquisition (05:300:430 or 15:253:520:80).
