Culture in Independent Language Study

A GILS course is very labor intensive, but there is a concerted effort to also connect the student and the language to the culture where the language is used.  Of interest here is the poster about the Arabic spring (continued interest) from the 1st semester and then the student’s video about her family. Note the comments by evaluators.
