ELP students help American students know what to expect when going to a new culture. Cultural Anthropology is a University class in which students learn about other languages and cultures. ELP students team up with American students who are taking this class to teach them about their culture and language. The International Student Center offers a special conversation program every Fall and Spring semester. American students are paired with international students.
Students arrange their own times and activities to meet.
Many lasting friendships have developed from this program. University students work with Beverley as interns on the lecture series. Beverley chooses an international student every year to work on the lecture series. Some of the other languages offered at K-State include Spanish and conversational Japanese. ELP students make friends with American students and share knowledge of their language and culture.
