Language Immersion Award
\n(this award is currently suspended until further notice)<\/h1>\nIf you have been studying French or German and would like to visit Europe to experience it first-hand, this is the ideal opportunity for you!\n

The Centre for Language Studies (CLS) is proud to present the French and German Language Immersion Awards funded by the ministries and NUS. These awards were created to give students the opportunity to experience life in a non-English speaking environment and the programme will be invaluable in increasing your French or German language proficiency.<\/p>\n

When and where do the immersions take place?<\/h2>\n

The immersions are usually held yearly in May\/June (depending on the destination) and generally last for a period of 4 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What do the immersions include?<\/h2>\n

Selected students can look forward to an enriching language and cultural immersion in Germany or France. The award covers bulk of the cost of the language classes, accommodation and cultural excursions. Students will have to co-pay a certain amount and bear the cost of their air tickets (both ways) to Germany or France as well as any other costs that are applicable (eg visa and living expenses) for physical immersion. Co-payment for virtual immersion is to be confirmed<\/p>\n

What are the eligibility requirements?<\/h2>\n

The application for the Language Immersion Award is open to Year 1 Language Preparation Programme (LPP) students who are taking French 2 or German 2 in semester 2. Non-LPP students who wish to apply may contact the respective convenor to enquire about their eligibility when there is an invitation for applications.<\/p>\n

Why should I apply for the LIA?<\/h2>\n

From past experience, students who return from the language immersion usually show a marked improvement in their language proficiency. Students have also found the experience rewarding, and this fuels their desires to participate in the Student Exchange Programme (SEP) and their stronger language skills make their SEP experience even more meaningful.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, the award covers the cost of the language classes, accommodation and cultural excursions.<\/p>\n
