Cadets travel to and reside in a linguistic and cultural community where they use their knowledge of Persian, its varieties and connected cultures to accomplish research tasks, solve problems and live daily routines. A structured program of immersion may include visits to sites of military, political, historical, or social significance; official orientations and lectures; meetings with local or national civilian and military leaders; as well as research in the language. A Department instructor may accompany participating cadets, who complete all work in the language during this extended stay. |
