| Cadets travel to and, over an extended period, reside in a linguistic and cultural community where they develop further their foreign language proficiency, cultural competence and regional capability. A structured program of experiential learning includes visits to sites of cultural, geographic, political, historical, or social significance. Participation in military training exercises, involvement in service learning, and attendance at cultural events may be part of the immersion experience. Cadets write reflective essays, keep personal/public journals, complete task-based writing assignments, deliver briefings, and produce research papers. A department instructor may conduct a site visit while cadets are abroad. |
