ll课程对你有什么意义?

The LLL program helped me figure out what it is I am best at, learning languages.  I came to ISU not knowing exactly what I wanted to major in.  我花了一段时间才意识到，但是, I noticed I enjoyed my minor classes much more than my major classes and quickly changed.  Once I did, I changed my minor to my major was welcomed into the program with open arms.  It was a warm and welcoming community who embraced different cultures as I do.

What was your best experience with the LLL program?

My best experience with the program would have to have been taking linguistics classes with Dr. 穆.  我上的第一堂语言学课，是和Dr. 何塞是一个田野调查班的学生.  I had no idea how to conduct fieldwork at the time and was very nervous.  但是,博士. 穆 convinced me to stay in the class and I’m glad I did.  After that semester, I took all my linguistic classes with Brian.  也许看起来不是这样，但是, every class was interesting and I would always leave the class having learned something new on the topic we touched on in class.

你从ll项目中获得了什么好处?

The LLL program has expanded my cultural awareness as person.  I thought I was pretty open-minded before coming into the program.  When in reality, I was only knowledgeable to the few cultures I grew up around.  The LLL program exposed to me to various other cultures and expanded my world views.

Why/How would the LLL program be great for future students?

I would recommend the program for a few reasons.  一个, the faculty in the program are very welcoming and always encourage students to strive for the best both academically and in learning about different cultures.  其次, I believe the program does a great job of introducing different cultures and giving students the opportunity to interact with them.  Each language taught within the program holds some sort of event that allows students to use their target language and learn through cultural activities.

ll课程对你有什么意义?

While the LLL program isn't the fanciest or biggest department in the university, 这里对我来说就像家一样. 就是在那里，我参加了我的第一次, 可怕的大学新生课程, and it was there that I confidently wrote my final thesis senior year. 四年期间, I formed a lot of relationships with other students as well as with professors, and I love knowing that I have a network of people rooting for my success to fall back on. I owe a lot of my development and success to the people working in that department, 对此我永远心存感激!

What was your best experience with the LLL program?

My best experience in the LLL program would have to be the time that I spent working as a Spanish and ESL tutor in the Language Learning Lab. Not only was it the ideal job for me to have while studying as a language major, but it also led me to some pretty awesome friendships. It gave me the opportunity to get to know on a personal level people and perspectives from all over the world.

你从ll项目中获得了什么好处?

Being apart of the LLL program played a huge role in my development as a language learner and as a student of culture. The content of my courses and the instructors that taught them were instrumental in my finally being able to speak and understand the Spanish language and culture at an advanced level. Equally important, however, is the support that the department has offered me as a whole. I never hesitate to come to my professors and advisers in the department with questions or concerns because I know that they will always be happy to see me and willing to help.

Why/How would the LLL program be great for future students?

I believe that the LLL program would be great for future students who are looking for to develop their language and cultural skills in a moderately-sized, 高度支持的环境.

你的ll课程是什么?

llll项目是我的电子游戏试玩所在. 我的电子游戏试玩是语言研究, 所以对我来说, the LLL program provides knowledge in my L2 (Spanish) and it teaches me about language and language learning in general.

What has been your best experience so far in the LLL program?

So far my greatest experience in the LLL program has been my study abroad experience. Without my involvement in the LLL program I would not have taken advantage of that opportunity.

你从这个项目中得到了什么好处?

就像我们在ll400中讨论的那样, language studies and the linguistic department has allowed me to cultivate skills in leadership and learning in ways that I feel other students don't have. I feel as though my brain has been trained to handle situations in a certain way and I believe my involvement in the program will make me more marketable in the future.

你对未来的学生有什么建议?

I would tell future students that they should take the opportunity to research the programs offered through the LLL department. There are so many amazing opportunities someone can have and a diverse group of people they can meet in the program.
