Orientation Will Explain Costa Rica College Program
Irvine Valley College will hold orientation Saturday for students interested in its summer abroad program in Costa Rica.
The program allows students to earn five college units by learning Spanish in a native environment. The program, which runs from June 28 to July 27, is affiliated with the American Institute of Foreign Study.
“When you live in a country and are immersed in the language and the culture, you learn the language much more quickly,” said Beatrice Tseng, a Spanish professor at the college.
Students will receive language instruction on weekdays. On weekends, they will travel the country to visit landmarks such as Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Plaza de Cultura, beaches and volcanoes.
The orientation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. in the college’s Community Education Building A. Additional sessions will be at the same location from 7 to 9 p.m. on March 13 and from 9 to 11 a.m. on April 5.
Information: (714) 451-5555 or (714) 451-5343.
