“Crossroads Café” Returns to the Faculty of Engineering

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

On February 15, 2008, the U.S. Embassy’s Information Resource Center and Faculty of Engineering’s Library organized a video showing for another episode in the English language teaching series  “Crossroads Café.” In these episodes, “Lost and Found” and “Time is Money,” the staff first lose the key to the restaurant, and then work as fast as they can to see if they can earn a few extra dollars.

Over 90 students from the various faculties 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.
