Language Schools
Consulting Us About a Distressed Student
Middlebury's Language Schools are renowned for their excellence in producing high levels of language acquisition. The experience of language immersion, combined with the Language Pledge, (a formal commitment required of all students to speak, listen, read, and write in their language of study as the only means of communication for the summer session), open opportunities for students to communicate in their target language and deepen their cultural understanding.
Multilingual/ESL Support
The Center is committed to supporting students who are non-native speakers of English. Peer tutors are given training and resources for working with these students. In addition, the Center’s ESL specialist, Shawna Shapiro, offers courses, workshops, and faculty development opportunities.
