Semester versus 7-week programs

Post by IntlEducator » Fri Jun 08, 2012 1:16 pm

Good day all,
I am seeking your input on the pros and cons of each type of program. As part of a new role I have oversight of our ESL institute and want to make sure we develop the best program possible. My initial gut reaction, as one who has studied languages before, is that semester length is best. Since our institution is on semesters, I would also prefer this format for inclusion of the students into our ongoing excursion/experiential education component. Your honest input regarding assessment, teaching levels, cultural adaptation, student satisfaction, etc is appreciated as we go into the future development of this. Thanks!
