Are you studying a foreign language this year? Will you be studying abroad in Winter Term or in Spring Semester 2010? If you answered “yes” to both these questions, please read on!
A large number of students in the Department of Foreign Languages go abroad each year to experience foreign cultures and improve their facility with a foreign language. If you will be going abroad in January 2010 or for a bit longer, we want to document and share your experiences! Please consider submitting a photo you make during your study abroad experience to the Department of Foreign Languages / Language Media Center photo contest. The theme of this year’s contest is: “Elon Foreign Languages Abroad!”
This is what you need to do:
1. Take a photo of yourself, wearing some form of Elon University attire, engaged in a cultural activity or visiting a cultural site in the foreign country you will be visiting.
2. Submit this photo in digital format (either on CD or as an email attachment) by February 20, 2010, to assistant professor David Neville (dneville@elon.edu)
3. Also submit a brief paragraph (~150 words) explaining what you are doing in the photo, what you have learned on your study abroad, and how you used your foreign language.
Photos will be evaluated by a committee of faculty and students based on image quality, cultural interest, and thematic relevance. Winning photos will be prominently displayed for one year in the Language Media Center (2nd floor in Carlton). Please note that submitted photos should have a sufficiently large pixel-count to permit enlargement.
Please contact David Neville (dneville@elon.edu) if you have any questions regarding the photo contest.
