Students will explore the foundation of the United States’ history, government, and
culture while applying their listening, speaking, reading, and writing English skills.
This foundation will prepare students for a deeper study of American culture and values
in American Culture III. Service learning is conducted at local destinations to better
understand culture within these places and increase students’ sense of global citizenship.
Field trips focused on American culture and history are frequently taken to give students
practical exposure and experience. Students begin to be kept accountable for getting
involved in campus events and clubs to gain an improved understanding of campus life
and more thoroughly enjoy it.
Note(s): This class is part of the new Intensive English Program (IEP). The IEP is for students
who do not meet the required English Proficiency during the admission process, or
those wishing to learn English without intending to pursue a degree at Radford University.
