　　Each year about 250，000 Americans study in other countries. Some study­abroad programs are trying harder to get students to learn about the local culture. One student, on his first morning in Beijing, was brought to a distant part of the city. He received money and instructions on how to get back. It took some time but he succeeded.

　　William Finlay heads the Sociology Department at the University of Georgia in the United States. He says challenges like this help students experience another culture.

　　In 2008, Professor Finlay started a program with South Africa's Stellenbosch University. The program combines traditional classroom learning with community involvement through a non­governmental organization. He says: "We've been working with a particular non­governmental organization in the town and we do two things: we run a number of creches (托儿所), which are basically day care centers for children whose parents are working, and the library in the community where there are some computers. Our students typically work either with the little kids in the day care centers or they work in the library and teach very basic computer skills to mostly young adults."

　　Hillary Kinsey is studying international affairs. She spent three weeks in the Stellenbosch program. She says it was interesting to learn the history of the area and the recent development. When Ms Kinsey returned from South Africa recently, she and other students in the program created a non­profit organization called Ubunto, whose goal is to help improve education and development in South Africa.

　　Mark Lenhart is the executive director of CET Academic Programs. Each year, that company places more than 1，000 students in semester and summer study programs.The programs are in China, Jordan, the Czech Republic and other countries. He says: "In all of our locations, we place students with local roommates." Students gain from that, he says, but the experience is not always easy. He says："Not just in terms of language learning, but they also find the local culture can present challenges, and perhaps misunderstandings. They have to adjust to local life. It's no longer OK just to have a little Chinese, for instance. If students are studying Chinese, they want to come home from a program like this fluent in Chinese. And this will enable students to become more employable when they graduate."
