Mon, 20 May 2019 Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences Why Exposure is Important when Learning a Second Language Unlike learning a first language, learning a second language is a task that can sometimes seem frustrating and at times even impossible.

That is why when you sign up for an English class, or any other language for that matter, teachers will try to replicate that...  [Read more]
