Experiential Learning, Service Learning, and Engagement in a University ESL Setting: The Graduate Cohort Program
Abstract
This chapter examines experiential and service learning in the context of an intensive English program for international graduate students, the goal of which is to foster engagement and cultural integration. The service learning project brings together skills in using English in authentic situations, researching, working as a team, communicating with members of the community they would not otherwise have contact with, presenting their project to their peers, and writing a reflection. Evidence is presented in the form of a description and analysis of the program and project, together with interviews with graduate mentors and excerpts from students' reflective writing. It is shown that the project has positive outcomes in terms of increased engagement and development of skills required for successful graduate study in a North American setting.
