SMCM Costa Rica Program Professor Dian Dudderar leads groups of student teachers in Costa Rica who intern at the Santa Cecilia bilingual school. There they teach English as a second language to the students for two months in a suburb of the capital.
Students immerse themselves in Costa Rican culture through their home-stay experiences.
The trip also includes a bug and bird workshop, a visit to Los Angeles Cloud Forest Reserve, a visit to Volcano Arenal and Tabacon Resort, and a visit to the beach.
