••••

Language is one o& the (rimary modes o& sel&>e(ression. hen learning a ne language, e are initially limited in our

ability to demonstrate our cogniti#e and creati#e ca(abilities, using our &ledgling language skills.

•••• mbarking on a ne language is like entering a ne reality, &or language is used not only &or communication but as the

learners ho are highly accom(lished (ro&essionals, teachers, graduate students, or undergraduates in their GrealI li#es.

•••• hen arri#ing at Middlebury, one is con&ronted ith a uni@ue social milieu. Making &riends and disco#ering one4s (osition

ithin this setting are natural concerns. ith limited communication skills, it may be di&&icult to let one4s (ersonality shine

through.

inarticulate beginners may &eel &rustrated at their inability to e(ress com(le ideas or make a (recise (oint. !hey may &ind

their ability to relate to others a&&ected.

•••• Some students react by ithdraing &rom social interactions and &eeling a lack o& sel&>con&idence. -e(ression or aniety

may result. Students o&ten go through se#eral (hases o& &eelings ith regard to the Language School e(erience. GShould '
