Student Highlights<br />

Education Students Teach in France<br />

STUDENT<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> and seven other<br />

universities arrived in France the first week<br />

<strong>of</strong> September to participate in the Franco-<br />

American Teachers-in-Training Institute<br />

(FATITI). Education students attended a<br />

language and culture seminar at the Center<br />

for Applied Linguistics in Besançon for three<br />

weeks. Afterward, they taught science, math,<br />

music and English in schools in Reims, Rouen,<br />

Amiens, Orléans, Tours and Blois.<br />

<strong>The</strong> teacher-exchange program, funded by<br />

a grant from the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> State,<br />

is coordinated by UA in conjunction with<br />

the Franco-American Commission and<br />

French Ministry <strong>of</strong> Education. <strong>The</strong> current<br />

group is the fourth sent by UA. As part <strong>of</strong><br />

this intensive cultural experience, the<br />

students will live with host families. <strong>The</strong>y will<br />

return from France Dec. 15. For more<br />

information about UA’s annual Franco-<br />

American Teachers-in-Training program, call<br />
