internship

[Harriet Ottenheimer]

Many of my undergraduate students have had success in getting jobs teaching
English in other countries. There are programs for teaching in Japan and
Taiwan, and occasionally a student studying abroad finds a job teaching
English and stays on for a year (one student did this in Prague). One
student found a job with a one-on-one language teaching company located in
Philadelphia (I think). In all cases, they found they were able to use much
of their linguistic anthropology to be more effective language teachers.
Several have gone on to careers in this area. If you want more details about
the different program names, let me know and I will get in touch with these
former students and get the information for you (or have them write to
ou).  --Harriet Ottenheimer, Kansas State University
