Discover USA - Education

The WOA Dnipropetrovsk continues its project “Discover USA”.
On April, 26 the centre was visited by a group of senior students from the secondary school # 23. This school is a long-time partner of the Window on America.
The theme of the lecture was “Education in the USA”. The WOA head Svitlana Usenko informed the students about the educational system of the United States and formalities for the students who decide to study there. Numerous paper based resources were presented to the group: brochures of the universities, reference books on majors, exchange programs, tests’ preparation manuals, etc.
The WOA staff member Tamara Gavryliuk has demonstrated   several videos by “Education USA” about the benefits of studying in the USA. While watching   these videos with English subtitles the students practiced their auditing skills, enriched their vocabulary with   a dozen of new terms relating to the topic “Post-secondary Education”, and learned new things about American educational culture.
This educational, illustrated with visual aids session was thoroughly enjoyed by the future college applicants.
Number of participants 11 persons.
