While conducting their research, they will be asked to participate in some aspect of program development or departmental outreach as well as share their research and results with the CESL faculty and UA community. We offer opportunities for class observations in both intensive and traditional English language courses, interaction with faculty, access to CESL & UA libraries, and chances to explore other possibilities related to their research at the University of Arizona.
