Dear Parents/Guardians
As you all know this course in English includes a mandatory study trip to the US in the spring. Us in specific
to Los Angeles in the state of California. The trip will take place from March 14-24, 2016. This includes
traveling days.
This is a field trip with academic expectations. Students will complete various assignments, including an
English journal, historical and geographical studies, culture study and work with their language awareness
and communication with another culture.
In our English classes our focus within the coming weeks will be texts and activities regarding the study
tour. We have established contact with a friendship class at John H. Liechty Middle School in Los Angeles.
Through this class we will exchange experiences, facts about culture and the American school system and
much more. When we visit Los Angeles we will spend the first two days visiting our friendship class.
During the following weeks the students will learn more about American culture and investigate history,
politics and ways of life in LA. The students will work with new terms in language learning and new ways of
addressing cultural encounters. We strongly suggest that the students take action themselves, and spend
some time at home studying this amazing country and the city we will visit. We advice all our students to be
curious and open-minded when it comes to exploring different sides of the American ways.
The main focus when visiting Los Angeles is speaking English and culture awareness. The students will use
their language skills in many different situations; interacting with American students and teachers,
interviewing people in the street with various backgrounds and much more.
The cost of the trip is DKr. 8520 per person. In this amount is included:
