Program Description
Cambodia Study Abroad is a study abroad program offered by the Department of Curriculum and Instruction of the College of Education. There will be 4 pre-departure meetings in Spring 2025, followed by a 3-week program in Cambodia from May 12 to 31, 2025.
Participants will spend three weeks in Cambodia engaged in cultural excursions and opportunities to study and practice methods for teaching English as a second language and gifted students. Cultural excursions include visits to ancient temple ruins, museums, and other sites and will engage participants in learning about Cambodia culture and its ancient and modern history. Site visits to schools, universities, and NGOs will highlight the challenges and opportunities for improving education in Cambodia. Participants will also assist in teaching ESL and gifted students at local schools.
During their stay in Cambodia, participants will take approximately 30 hours of applied linguistics, ESL methodology, and gifted education classes based at the English Department of the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), our partner university in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. These classes will be taught by program leaders from Purdue University with invited guest lecturers of the English department of RUPP in Cambodia. They will also do approximately 30 hours of teaching ESL and gifted students in one of our local K-12 partner schools: USA International School, Abundant Life International School, and Zion International School of Phnom Penh.
