In the case of non-classroom learning experiences, more
negative attitudes focused on accommodations, utilities
and quality of service delivered by elders or staff whom
they interact with outside of the classrooms.
A student emphasized the importance of being able to
separate the professional from the personal, which they
expected from those helping them in the program. Despite
some miscommunications and frustrations, the Chileans
were able to separate the non-academic from the academic
programs, and hence, the evaluations of the teacher and
course were found to be not affected by any negative
experiences during their 5-month stay. Thus, they could say:
This program has been excellent because of the teachers.
I learnt a lot and I have been practicing my English outside
and inside the classroom.
