Orientation+Week

Below are the new student assessments which have been used by both the ALI Academic Intensive English (AIE) Program and the Special Summer Programs. Changes have been made in the "New Student Writing Assessment" from the original document developed for the Summer Program.



After the initial testing and placement of students, a cultural orientation has been used by the AIE to prepare students for life in the U.S society and the U.S. classroom. Attached are some of the PowerPoint presentations, lessons on academic honesty and plagiarism, documentation from scavenger hunts to learn about the Nazareth campus and U.S. values.

This PPT was developed by Linda Pratt, and covers many areas, including U.S. history,values, and the academic culture. It also includes a quiz to help students learn about the Nazareth website.

As part of the orientation, we have done various scavenger hunts, including a scavenger hunt to find evidence of U.S. values (Linda Grossman) and a scavenger hunt, developed by Victoria Bolton, to learn about the Nazareth College campus. Also below is an additional quiz used to familiarize students with the Nazareth website.

For the Summer of 2012, Melissa created a new team scavenger hunt that takes students all over campus!

Victoria Bolton also developed the following materials to teach about academic dishonesty and plagiarism.
