teacher, but they also have structured interaction with native speakers and<br />
frequent trips to places of interest throughout Ecuador.<br />

may spend six weeks in France in June and July. Beginning with a 10-day<br />
home stay with a French family in Paris, students then travel to Normandy<br />
where they study at the Universite de Caen in an intensive program of<br />
French as a second language. While in Normandy, they stay in a Christian<br />
facility near the university. Students can earn six hours of upper-division<br />
French credit as well as two hours of Cross-Cultural Experience for this trip.<br />
