During June and July, Washington and Lee University hosts the
French, German, and Spanish full-immersion Virginia Governor's
World Language Academies. While at the Academies, students are
not permitted to speak English.
Instead, they must speak the
language of the Academy they are attending for the entirety of their
stay. Classes and activities, which are conducted in the target
language, cover a variety of topics, including film, phonetics, fashion,
current events, and less commonly taught languages. When not in
class, students participate in a diverse assortment of cultural activities
designed to further their language development, such as sports,
cooking, theater, dance, yoga, film-making, and knitting.
By the time the Academies close, the students will have attained an
admirable level of proficiency in the target language and will have
made a plethora of friends from across the globe.
