Special Classes for Foreign Students
West Los Angeles College in Culver City will offer classes and tutoring to foreign students in the coming academic year.
English, business, music appreciation, travel and other courses will have special sections that will address issues that a foreign-born person might not automatically understand, said foreign student adviser Jewel D’Aloia.
D’Aloia will teach a one-unit “Introduction to College” class that will cover study skills and American higher education. It will also offer information on health insurance, what to do after a car accident and other pointers on adapting to the United States, she said.
The English department will provide sessions on reducing accents, D’Aloia said.
Last year, about 200 of the two-year college’s 9,000 students held foreign-student visas from 36 countries, D’Aloia said.
