Contents, comment

Takes place from October, 17 to December 9!

Join this class and connect in English with each other and with students abroad. This course is intended for students who are interested in improving their English fluency while having a fun and a unique cultural experience.

The class centers around conversations with a tandem partner (or partners) learning German in New York at Cornell University. Since you will be assigned a partner or partners in New York, class attendance and participation is essential. In addition to participating regularly in class activities, our class will be creating a digital time capsule to be reopened in two years time. Students will also be helping their tandem partner with a video project that will be presented regarding the themes of value and culture.

There will be subthemes assigned every week to spark conversation followed by a small homework assignments related to next week's class (article, video or brief research that has to do with the topics). Additionally, students are always encouraged to bring in issues from international, national and local news to drive conversation.
