SU25-1
This class is an opportunity to experience modern gaming culture while learning English at the same time. The culture of board games will be introduced as part of a process of inquiry of experiencing and reflecting on American culture. Through the medium of games, students will practice defining, persuading, planning, predicting, giving commands, describing and creatively solving problems, and telling stories using English. An emphasis will be placed on group discussion about the cultural aspects of gaming, as we learn to interact in English while solving game-based problems. No prior experience with gaming is necessary, as we will be using a variety of games that are fun and easy to learn. We will also take field trips to local gaming areas, to experience different aspects of gaming culture first hand.
*Open game day June 5,12,19,26 - time & place TBD. More

SU25-3
This club is designed to provide a supportive setting for international students to regularly communicate in English and learn about the histories, cultures, and resources available in our community. Purdue has a large and multifaceted campus, which means there are many ways to connect, new places to visit, and new things to talk about. The goal of this class is to provide a forum for students to form new and deeper connections to the campus and peers through weekly explorations on or near campus. In this course, we will learn about and visit a different location or event on or near campus each week (such as galleries, presentations, public displays, and outdoor settings). The discussion session each week will be during lunch at the Purdue Farmer's Market each Thursday. Other activities usually communicated via Brightspace or communication apps.
*Plan around 30 minutes before if purchasing lunch. **Field trip dates not listed. More
