Teaching English to Children: Internship Serves Families of International Students
The students at BYU–Hawaii come from 70 countries, giving the campus a unique fusion of culture and language. The English language proves to be a crucial tool as the students communicate with their international classmates, and many international students hone their English skills through immersion and practice. This also means that the children of married international students are growing up in multilingual families. A new program, staffed by current students, is now giving these children enhanced opportunities to learn English while their parents attend the university.
