Social Activities Conversation hours, social events, foreign language movies and videos, guest speakers and performers are regularly scheduled to supplement the classroom program. Leeward's annual international festival provides an opportunity for all students to hear lectures by international speakers, encounter the culture and costumes of many other peoples and meet students from other parts of the world. In addition, several clubs and honorary societies enable motivated students to pursue their language interests outside the classroom. Occasionally faculty arrange organized tours abroad for credit. Study Abroad Leeward students are eligible to participate in the University of Hawai's Manoa campus' Study Abroad Program.
Students can earn credits by studying in foreign countries.
The Study Abroad Program is offered for students of Japanese, Spanish and Tagalog. Excellent Facilities Leeward's Learning Resource Center provides self-paced, individualized learning through a language laboratory and computer assisted instruction. Language tapes can be copied for home use. Individual video carrels allow self-paced viewing of foreign language films and television programming. The television studio in the Media Center is frequently used by foreign language students who write and perform in their own video productions.
