English for Specific Purposes

This course for visiting international students strengthens English language skills in relation to their specific academic, career or cultural interests. Sample topics could include “English For Nurses,” or “English and E-Sports” or “Exploring Hawaii.” Classes feature active engagement with English language, especially in relation to the chosen field or topic. The program also includes custom-designed co-curricular activities which promote experiential and place-based learning. A final reflection paper written and sent by students upon their return home is designed to capture important culminating impressions and applications of learning to future educational and professional goals.
