Summer is the season of travel, but it is also the perfect time to reflect on how we experience the world and how we connect with others. Over 4 weeks, we will transition from sharing personal, lighthearted stories to analyzing complex global trends and cultural philosophies. Students will have focused discussions on a specific topic each week. If you love travel, culture, psychology, and debating the forces that shape our modern world, this course is for you. Who is this course for: - Students who want to expand their vocabulary, learn new expressions, and improve their conversational fluency while discussing more advanced topics. - Learners who want a consistent, comfortable environment where they can have discussions with the same group of international peers over a period of time. While conversation and student interaction will always be at the heart of every lesson, this course is designed to be highly dynamic. Depending on the theme and our cohort's energy, our weekly sessions may include a variety of interactive formats, such as debates and other activities.
