Coinciding with this year’s Lunar New Year holiday for Chinese communities, SAINT PAUL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL in Guam, USA, has specially combined travel with English language education to launch the “2012 Guam English Study Tour.” The 15-day program (January 24 – February 7, 2012) will be led throughout by school teachers and includes theme-based courses in academics, nature, sports, music, culture, as well as local sightseeing. Students from elementary to university level are welcome to apply.

Xiang Lilun, project staff at Kanglin International Group, stated that unlike regular summer camps usually held at resorts or clubs, this study tour is a cultural exchange program organized by a U.S. Department of Education-accredited school in collaboration with the Guam Visitors Bureau. All related courses take place entirely on campus, with classes divided by age group and taught in small groups of 10–20 students. Taiwanese students will have the opportunity to interact with international peers from Korea, Japan, China, Europe, and America, helping to develop a global perspective. Upon completion, in addition to an English course certificate, participants will also receive a sports (or music) learning certificate, giving them a competitive edge with dual credentials for the future.
During winter and summer vacations, flights to Guam are often hard to come by. The “2012 Guam English Study Tour” offers students a chance to enjoy a fulfilling and unique New Year holiday. Moreover, during the study period, parents can keep track of their child’s status in real time via the Facebook fan page. For more information, please visit blog.roodo.com/klguam. Seats are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
After class, students can also experience Guam’s beautiful scenery and culture. (Image credit: Monochrome Editing Department)
