One big idea. . .

What if CAS undergraduates could enroll in select ELI classes?

1960s, EIL, RFILMVI, FILM, ABCS. . .

Possible model. . .

Undergraduates carefully screened, selected (e.g., former study abroad, international relations majors, language majors) ELI students carefully screened, selected (e.g., grades, effort, participation. . .)

Possible model, continued

Course would meet 3 hours/week for UD students (e.g., MWF, 9:00 – 10:00)

Course would meet 10 hours/week for ELI students:

Additional hours used to address language acquisition, content preview, vocabulary, discussion gambits CAS students awarded credit through

experimental course sequence number
