In-country cultural and language immersion training is the most effective way for a serious student to increase his/her language ability.  Our programs combine classroom and experiential learning to reinforce the learning experience.  Classroom instruction is augmented by cultural excursions and guest lectures by subject matter experts.  These activities are all designed to build language acquisition and provide a firm understanding of the culture and context in which it is used.   REEP has a history of tailoring our programs to meet all levels of foreign language skill and our clients' specific operational requirements.

Our qualified instructors have at least a bachelor's level degree and one year of teaching experience.  Additionally, they speak English well enough to provide grammar explanations in English.  The student to teacher ratio will not exceed 6 to 1.

A REEP four-week immersion program provides the following:

• 80 hours of standard in-class training, usually conducted four hours per day, five days per week.
• Practical application tasks emphasizing reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar skills.
• Instruction tailored to the student's language proficiency.
• One hour-long guest lecture per week, with additional question and answer period.  Topics for these lectures include government, schools, legal systems, business etc.
• Each week an excursion will be provided to one of the following: national museum, art museum, history museum, cultural museum, battlefield, religious facility, nearest metropolitan city, opera, ballet, concert, or theater.   For these excursions, the students will receive pre-paid admission (including tax), a list of vocabulary words germane to the cultural excursion and a guide, possessing sufficient knowledge of the subject matter for each site.
• Accommodation with a host family whenever possible.  No more than one student will be assigned to a host family. The host family provides a receptive family environment with a clean, private, well-lit room furnished with a bed, including linens and one pillow, and a desk or table for coursework.  When staying with a host family is not possible due to cultural conditions, students will stay in a guest house, dormitory, hotel or apartment.
