CET
Academic Programs
Vietnam Immersion
CET’s Vietnam Immersion
is an intensive program designed for all students with an interest
in Vietnamese Language & Vietnamese Studies. Offering the
exciting opportunity to experience the cultures of the
north and the south, the program takes fall and spring term students
to both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to engage in Vietnamese language
and Vietnamese Studies.
Vietnam Immersion
includes a four-week language module in Hanoi, a week-long study
tour, and
a twelve-week module in Ho Chi Minh City. Like CET’s January Term,
the first module of the Vietnam Immersion includes four weeks of
intensive language study (up to 25 hours each week). Students are
based in Hanoi, the home of standard Vietnamese. These classes
(offered at three levels) include small group classes, one-on-one
tutorials, and structured "practica" to local sites of
interest.
Following the
study tour, students move south to begin their Ho Chi Minh City
module. Classes
include continued Vietnamese study, a required seminar that surveys
contemporary Vietnam, a required independent study course, and
one other Vietnamese Studies class. This class may include Modern
Vietnamese History, The War with America, Vietnam’s Economic Development,
and Vietnamese Minorities. All courses are taught in English by
American or Vietnamese faculty. There is no language prerequisite
for the program.
The program operates
each spring,
summer, and fall term, beginning in spring 2001. For more
