Ideas for Enriching Foreign Language Classes:
- Cross-age Teaching:
As more and more schools are exploring ways to expose elementary students to foreign language, high school upper level language students could provide instruction for elementary students and teachers.
- International Telecommunications Projects:
Many schools are participating in international projects utilizing the computer. Students well versed in languages can help translate materials so students from different countries can communication with each other.
- Brochure Translation:
Schools and community organizations that serve multilingual clients often need help translating their materials into different languages.
- LEP and ESL Students:
Students with limited English proficiency (LEP) or who speak English as a second language (ESL) often find much satisfaction being able to share their native language abilities with the community.
- Language Camps:
Students could refine their new language skills by teaching others.
- Amnesty International:
Students can write letters to governments in various countries on behalf of political prisoners.
- Trading Lessons:
Providing English lessons in exchange for "other language" lessons.
- Community Partnerships:
Partnering with community agencies that serve refugees or others to provide services, assistance or decorations/ resource materials.
