WHY TRAVEL? Why I’m passionate about travel and language learning Why this tour is great for our group Helping students become global citizens “Nothing is better than to learn a language when you are in the heart of its culture. This experience gave me so many opportunities to express what I know and what I need to learn.” — Julia M., Student Watch the video

My Cultural Activities My Language Confidence MEET LIZ O. She traveled on an EF Language Tour to Costa Rica last summer. My Language Classes “Our teacher barely ever spoke English which forced us to think, write, and talk in all Spanish.” My Cultural Activities “I was able to use what I already knew and learned in classes during our adventures such as the hands on experience of making the pottery.” My Language Confidence “Now next year, in my third year of Spanish, I will be a much more confident Spanish student, because I got to practice my skills with locals.”

A MORE ENGAGING LEARNING EXPERIENCE Learn to express yourself in another language. Discover your own personal learning style. Bring classroom subjects, people and places to life by making authentic connections with locals. Develop the ability to take on any new experience with confidence and self-awareness. “The total immersion with the teacher on the trip with us was the difference. Being forced to think and understand the language without the crutch of English was a huge benefit.” —Mike B, Group Leader
