The entire
exchange program was sponsored by U.S. Department of State, implemented by FHI
360, with local programming by San Diego Diplomacy Council. There were 21 participants in total from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines. The hosts gave us a
brief overview of the program and logistics. As a border city with a
considerable population of immigrants, we would be mainly focusing on bilingual
education and school visits. Then, for our professional development programs,
there would be topics related to Content-Based Instruction, Teaching English in
English, Dual Immersion, etc.
