Several activities and trips are planned to orient students to Paris and provide a deeper understanding of French culture and society. Select here for the calendar. Most of the Reid Hall courses incorporate field trips that are related to the topic of study. Students may be asked to contribute a small fee to participate in some of the excursions and field trips. The French partners are also invited on day trips and other outings.
Opportunities are available in areas such as child care, care for the elderly, and hospital visits.
Student Teaching Students are given the opportunity to teach English to French students on a volunteer basis. The experience is invaluable, both for meeting French students and for gaining insight into the French educational system. Students need not be experienced teachers in order to participate in this program, but must be serious, assiduous, and open-minded. This workshop is designed to help students understand the different properties of wine and to develop critical know-how in buying, tasting, and serving wine. Each participant receives a glossary of wine terms.
