“Crossroads Café” Series returns to the Faculty of Engineering

Students at the Faculty of Engineering watching the video of the English language program “Crossroads Café.”

After the Lao New Year on April 25, 2008, the U.S. Embassy’s Information Resource Center and Faculty of Engineering’s Library organized a video showing for another installment of the English language teaching series “Crossroads Café.” In these episodes, “Fish out of Water” and “Family Matters,” the series showed how parents in the U.S take care of their children at home and at school, and how the family decides to budget their money for school fees, food, electricity, and other necessities.

Over 70 students from various departments around the campus watched this installment of the program. This ongoing project helps Lao students who are learning English at the beginning and intermediate levels by developing their vocabulary and listening comprehension skills.

The Information Resource Center will host showings of “Crossroads Café” on a regular basis at the both the Faculty of Engineering and at the Lao American Center.
