In February 2027, the ELC will again be offering a specialized, 2-week online learning series called Cultural Discovery!

Through 10 study hours per week, Cultural Discovery participants will build confidence in all four skills as they explore specialized themes according to their language level:

• Pre-Intermediate class theme: Cultures and Countries
• Advanced class theme: Intercultural Communication and Globalization

Participants in this series will attend five hours of synchronous (live) classes plus five hours of guided asynchronous course work per week. In addition to their live classes and course work, participants will also enjoy weekly Social Connect activities such as online conversation practice or games.

This learning series is open to anyone, however ELC students in programs on campus before or after the series may find it especially beneficial. Students planning to attend March Language and Culture or April ELPI may take this course to prepare for their face-to-face studies! Students finishing January Language and Culture may take this course to continue learning after returning home.

Upon completion, participants will receive a Record of Grade and a Certificate of Completion reflecting their online studies.
