Motivations and Impact:
“Personally, my language skills increased dramatically when speaking with people in the community andputting academically-learned language into a cultural context. I want the same for my students. I also think they become more engaged and invested in the course when they are called to volunteer and their own students are eagerly expecting them to show up and teach them. The community gains by having extra tutorial help, and contacts at IU South Bend that will encourage them to pursue higher education in turn.”
