IMMERSION IN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
The Language Pledge®, pioneered by Middlebury’s summer Language Schools, is a cornerstone of immersive language study and a key part of our study abroad programs. When students sign it, they pledge to speak only the language of their host country while there. Exceptions exist, but they are few.
By signing the pledge, students embrace both the challenge and authentic experience of a study abroad program in every respect—academic, social, and even professional when they undertake internships. Sticking to it requires self-discipline, creativity, fearlessness in the face of mistakes, and a sense of
“The Language Pledge is about becoming a part of the environment we are living in, the people we are surrounded by, and the authentic experiences we hold.”
Many of our students major in areas other than foreign languages, yet all are committed to linguistic development and cultural immersion.

With a few exceptions, courses are taught in the host country’s language and conform to its educational approach.
Universities in most other countries expect students to exercise a high degree of self-determination in their learning, and courses therefore may have a different structure than U.S. students are used to. Students adjust to a new teaching style and way of learning, which is an education in itself. On-site Middlebury staff are there to help ease transitions as students navigate university systems and policies.

“Learning about systems of economic and social oppression from Brazilian professors and classmates empowered me to think outside the narrow mindset that is so easy to fall into being from the United States.”
—Elena Bell, Tufts University Niterói, Brazil
An important part of the Middlebury study abroad experience is helping students discover their interests in a new place—engaging with their community, exploring culture and history, and making personal connections. Internships and extracurricular activities can further understanding of the host culture and help students gain professional experience, boost language proficiency, and make local connections. On-site staff help connect students to activities, internships, volunteer work, and research projects tailored to their interests.
