French Internships

Attending classes is only part of the language-learning experience. Often, students will commit to internships that give them the opportunity to communicate in their target language or interact with people from those cultures. Internships are also a great way to explore other interests and develop transferable skills. Here are some examples of places where students have interned:

• Wine Industry Exploration intern, Vista Hills Vineyard
• French liaison, International Pinot Noir Celebration
• Newberg High School
• McMinnville Downtown Association
• Cours Sainte Marie de Hann, a local Christian middle school in Dakar

"Through the Linfield study abroad program in Senegal, I completed an internship at a local Christian middle school called Cours Sainte Marie de Hann in Dakar, where I was placed in charge of 44 Senegalese students. I translated a French textbook and taught the students mathematics in English."
