Sample Credit Projects
Extended projects allow credit villagers to explore an area that interests them, while they use and improve their language skills and cultural understanding. A hallmark of the credit program, credit projects are sometimes done by individual villagers and sometimes by a small group; most often, projects contribute to Village life and are shared with others. Research has shown their importance in a successful language learning experience. Check out some samples below.
