Greenwood said that starting the program was fairly simple. I had to get permission from the Chinese, which wasn't hard to do. I had to find out what they were willing to do for the students in terms of boarding and food. I had to advertise and promote. It was just like starting a class.
Students learn many different things while on the trip abroad.
On the China trip, Greenwood will take his students to the Habei Teachers University and students will attend classes and observe another culture. Students will also be staying with and interacting with the community so they can learn more about the culture. Everyone's always talking about how China is going to be the next super power, I thought it'd be kind of interesting to see. On the Russia trip, run by Vera Aginsky, instructor of Russian, the main goal is to develop better language skills. On this trip Aginsky makes all her students sign a sheet promising that they will speak nothing but Russian, except on guided tours.
