TRU Modern Languages Field Schools - MLAN 2700
Since 2009, Modern Languages has been offering students the opportunity to participate in field schools to study language in an immersion setting through our own MLAN 2700 course. Varying in length from 4-6 weeks, MLAN 2700 can be offered in different languages. In 2009, the course was taught as a Japanese language course in Japan, while in 2010, it was taught as a Spanish course in Mexico. The travel experiences included a variety of excursions and cultural activities in addition to language classes targetting intermediate learners who have completed at least one year of language instruction.
