Article Title：Beyond the language requirement: Interdisciplinary short-term study abroad programs in Spanish
Abstract：
In order to show students the interdisciplinary relevance of language study and to encourage non language majors to study abroad in programs where English is not the principal language of instruction, we propose the development of interdisciplinary short-term programs. Using our course in cultural and environmental conservation in Latin American as a model, we offer evidence that short-term programs can provide students with an initial exposure to Latin American culture and diversity, give them different perspective on their own field of study, spark their interest in further language study, and inspire them to find a way ro fit a semester- or a year-long study-abroad experience into their academic careers.
