Course preview
- Two hundred years ago, Native Americans lived
on the land we now call Oregon. Now, in the year 2000, there are
over 3 million Oregonians. Who came to Oregon, from where, and
why? What happened to the original people of Oregon? In this
course, discover the answers to these questions as you improve
your English.
- A variety of in-class and out-of-class
activities will enable students to work on their listening
comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Students
will also take field trips to communities founded and populated by
immigrant groups.
- Students in this course will be required
to participate in two or three late-afternoon activities and two
or three early-morning activities (8:00 to 10:15 a.m.). Class time
