Excursion for College Students.
The Window on America center in Dnipropetrovsk was visited by a group of students and teacher from the Dnipropetrovsk College for Culture and Arts. The students’ major was “Library Science”.
The WOA center Head, Svitlana Usenko, made a presentation about the history of the facility and the resources available at the center. She informed the group about the free resources available on-line and recommended by the US State Department.
The students were invited to attend the weekly sessions of the WOA’s speaking club where they can listen to the American English. Wednesday Movie Club was also introduced   to those who wish to improve their comprehension skills by watching American classical movies with the original sound tracks.
