Parts of the final

Part 1: Listening and speaking, Chapters 12 and 13 (the same style as others tests and quizzes we've had)

Part 2 (hardest):

• You'll have a conversation with the students in your group so I can see what you have learned about pronunciation. Everyone must participate.
• I will let you choose from three topics I give you. These are the possible topics, all of which students suggested.
• Think about all of these and practice vocabulary and sentences you might need. Practice with your group over the weekend if you like. Prepare if you want to succeed.

• What is the most interesting place or the most impressive place to visit in the United States and why?
• What was the single most important experience you had in the United States?
• Did you suffer from culture shock at any time during the year? What were the greatest cultural adjustments you had to make?
• What were the most important things you learned through the TIUA program? What did you learn about yourself and the world? (Think about friends, social relationships, education and academics, culture, international relations, self-confidence, food, life style, etc.)
• What WU activities did you participate in and what did you learn from these?
• Talk about dorm life and having a roommate: What was difficult, what was enjoyable, what did you learn, etc.
• What holidays did you experience in the United States and what did you learn? In general, how are holidays here different from those in Japan?
• What new habits or skills did you learn here? Did you change the way you live, did you acquire some new personality traits, do you learn to do something you had never tried before?
• How would you evaluate your own academic and social efforts and accomplishment during your year here? In what areas were you successful? Where could you have tried harder? What do you wish you had done but didn't do?
• Will your life be different in Japan as a result of having lived in another country for a year? Will you have trouble adjusting to life in Japan again? What will you miss most about TIUA, Willamette, Oregon or the U. S.?
