US EXPERIENCE
During the months prior to coming to the U.S., all students
participate in an intensive three-phase orientation in which they review the
SEED program philosophy, policies and procedures, and clarify their own goals
and reasons for accepting the scholarship.
The student’s
first months in the U.S. are especially difficult in terms of language
acquisition, cultural adjustment, and forming friendships. By providing an
atmosphere of support, encouragement, and understanding, as well as an
opportunity for practicing English.
The
first few weeks of being a host family are likely to be an adventure in
creative communication. This experience is vital for the students since there
is no better way to learn a language than to plunge in. Learning English is a major part of the
students’ training and key to their academic and general success in the
program.
