Go Lim! A Language in Motion Event

When your family and friends are tired of hearing about your journey, we have a community outreach opportunity for you!

The Language in Motion (LiM) program, coordinated by the Office ofInternational Education, provides Willamette University students a unique opportunity to share culture and language with students in the Salem-Keizer school district.  Study abroad returnees, international students and language assistants are invited into local classrooms to provide learning opportunities for elementary, middle and high school students. Presenters are encouraged to work together to prepare presentations. Ideally presentations include one study abroad returnee and one international student or language assistant.

Last year 64 LiM presenters provided 100 presentations at local schools. Presentation topics ranged from food, politics, environment, language, arts,poverty, to youth culture.  Presentation formats have included songs, games, power points, cooking, and informal questions and answers.  Anything is possible!

We want to celebrate the beginning of LiM's fifth year, provide WU students time to explore presentation topics and meet Salem-Keizer teachers
