Task Descriptions:

Students interning in the CFC supported schools will be working on two projects:

The first project will focus on designing and implementing an Information andCommunication Technology program (ICT) by involving resources available

within the schools (computers that are already in place) and from within the

community (e.g., undergraduate students with IT major to help teach and manage

ICT program at the schools). This program allows students the opportunity todevelop and carry out real educational experiment in the field.

The second project will focus on Teaching English as a Second Language andwill involve organizing and running workshops for English language teachers in

CFC and surrounding schools, developing training materials, or otherresponsibilities as agreed by Lehigh University faculty and CFC staff.

For students interning at the RUPP, the intended experience is (1) to contribute theirskills and knowledge in the education field (preferably comparative and international

education) through teaching and (2) to learn from local faculty with respects to content

and issues in higher education development in Cambodia. These two programscomplement each other to the greatest extent as one is aimed specifically for K-12

education and the other is for higher education, covering from the lowest to the highest

education levels in the Cambodian society.

For students interning at Documentation Center of Cambodia, the goal is to provide

students with another form of understanding of international educationgenocide and

human rights education in a war torn country. This center will provide students withcontextual specific knowledge in the Cambodian society with respect to the history and

its lasting effect on current generation of Cambodians whose main challenges are

restoring and improving human capital in the country. The intern students will work on asmall research project aiming to investigate the effects of formal genocide education (that

Cambodian high school students receive in school) and informal education (that they

receive from their parents at home via storytelling) on their academic aspirations and

achievement. In other words, the interns will examine how Cambodian students schoolperformance and aspirations are affected by their understanding of the history of

genocide received from both of these informal and formal sources of education. Students

will also engage in archival work to support the daily activities of the Documentation

Center.

Teaching Practicum and Cultural Immersion Program in China(Funded by The Freeman Foundation)

Seeking candidates for a 6-week (May 5 - June 15)program that provides students with an international immers

experience in which they will gain practical TESOL teaching experience abroad while being immersed in the Chine

language and culture. APPLY DIRECTLY THROUGH THE ESL DEPARTMENT!

Program Objectives:

Provide a teaching practicum experience specifically tailored to upper-class undergraduates with an interest teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) abroad or English as a Second Language (ESL) in the K-12 o

higher education setting within the US after graduation.

Allow students to apply the teaching methods and principles that they learn in ENGL 310 (Methods ofTeaching ESL/EFL) within an actual EFL classroom in collaboration with experienced cooperating Chinese

TESOL teachers in order to better understand the challenges and teaching approaches of the EFL language

classroom. Allow students to gain a profound understanding of a different culture and language and allow them to deve

a better sense of cross-cultural communication with a culture that is quite different from, but increasingly

important to, the US culture.

Provide an international language and cultural immersion experience to domestic students who may not havthe time to participate in a traditional Study Abroad experience during the fall and spring semesters.

An additional option/objective for students who will teach English in the US or abroad is that some upper-

classmen will be recommended to the TESOL Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Lehighs College of Education.

This is an optional program and costs incurred from these additional credits fall outside of the funding from this

grant.

Student Experience: The students will be

observing college English classes and then

teaching/tutoring English to Chinese

university undergraduate students within

the classroom at ECUST, one of the top

higher education institutions in China.Each student will be assigned a personal

cooperating Chinese TESOL faculty

member, who will guide their assigned

student in the best practices of teaching

English to foreign students. In addition, the

students will receive immersion classes in

Chinese speaking and culture, live in the

campus dormitory, and take cultural trips

guided by the Chinese students and faculty

allowing for a full-immersion experiencefor the duration of the program. The benefit

to the partner institution in China will be

that native speakers of American English

will be teaching/tutoring English to their

Chinese students for this period.

Ideal Candidate:

Major/Discipline: Students who have been

enrolled in the undergraduate TESOL classes

(ENGL 310 and ENGL 314) in the past have

mainly come the College of Arts and Sciences,

but there have also been students in these

TESOL classes from CBE and RCEAS.

However, Lehigh undergraduate students who

are interested in TESOL predominantly come

from the College of Arts and Sciences. For

example, the students who attended the

TESOL Teaching Practicum and Immersion

Program in May 2012 came from thefollowing CAS majors: Mathematics, Modern

Languages, and English.

Year of Study: Preferably rising juniors and

rising seniors, but other students may be

considered if qualifications are met.

Service and Sustainable Development Internship in Costa Rica


Seeking 10 candidates for a 7-week (July 1st

August 21t

) program where students will be gaining

experience with program development and evaluation, research and teaching.

Program Objectives: The goal of this project is to augment the classroom education currently available to students inenvironmental science or environmental studies with practical on-the-ground experience in sustainable development

projects. Students will hold internships with Costa Rican development and conservation NGOs that conduct projects

related to the protection of the natural environment. The sustainability of that environment is crucial to the ecotourism

strategy of sustainable development for which Costa Rica is well known .

Student Experience:

Interns will begin the program on the Lehigh

campus by participating in a series of modular bootcamp courses that will be conducted during the

preceding spring semester.

After arriving in Costa Rica, students will

spend approximately 5 weeks in internships with

NGOs focused on various aspects of forest

conservation related to sustainable development. The

specific internship(s) will be selected for each student

according to their particular interests and their Spanish

language proficiency (some will require a high level

of fluency while others may not). While the mission

statements are slightly different for each of our hostNGOs, all students will be involved in some aspect of

reforestation, which is critical to preserving

biodiversity in this region. They will also be involved

in ecological research to evaluate the extent of

existing forest fragmentation as well as evaluating the

success of past reforestation efforts. The last 2 weeks

of the internship program will be conducted at the

University of Georgias Costa Rica campus in San

Luis. In this element of the program, students will

work collectively and specifically on the study andestablishment of the Pjaro Campana Biological

Corridor (this experience overlaps with a 12-day

Environmental Community Service Project being

conducted by another population of Lehigh students).

Ideal Candidate: We are seeking a group of

approximately 7 upper-class students with

disciplinary backgrounds in environmental

sciences or environmental studies. A secondary

target group is students with a disciplinary

background in Latin American Studies,

International Development, Policy, Spanish, or

Environmental Engineering who have also taken

some coursework in environmental sciences or

environmental studies.

Major/Discipline Desired: This program is

striving for diversity in genders, colleges, majors,

religious beliefs, and financial need etc. The more

diverse the student group, the more enriching the

experience for all involved.
