A brief personal bio:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Jazmin Flete and I am a sophomore studying Romance Languages and Literature. The three languages I am studying, and have fallen in love with, are French, Italian, and Portuguese. I am also fluent in Spanish. I currently live in Lawrence, MA but my family is from the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n

Why this summer language abroad opportunity is important to me:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

As a language major, travel is imperative to my major. I must travel to the communities, cities, and countries where the languages I study are spoken not only to improve my own verbal and written skills but to serve the places I visit. In order to further cultivate my understanding of a culture and everything that comes with it, I must be able to be present not only mentally but physically. The SLA Grant has made this possible for me. The SLA Grant is my opportunity to travel to a country where the language I have devoted my studies to is spoken and for this, I am forever grateful. Without the SLA Grant, I know I would not be financially capable of traveling and experiencing the cultures I study everyday in class.<\/p>\n

What I hope to achieve as a result of this summer study abroad experience:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

While in Brazil, I hope to improve my Portuguese skills. By the conclusion of the program I will be participating in, I hope to be able to hold a full conversation with my host family. I hope to learn colloquial Portuguese, as well. It is very important to adapt one’s languages skills to the places they visit. In addition to achieving language fluency, I hope to cultivate a deep understanding of society in Brazil with regards to culture, social status, and race.<\/p>\n

My specific learning goals for language and intercultural learning this summer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. By the end of the summer, I will be able to communicate in Portuguese with my host family on social and political topics.<\/p>\n

2. By the end of the summer, I will be able to watch Brazilian national television without subtitles and with the ability of comprehending what is being said.<\/p>\n

3. By the end of the summer, I will be able to identify and explain Brazilian traditions as well as participate in them in a respectful manner as an outsider.<\/p>\n

4. By the end of the summer, I will be able to cook\/bake at least 3 Brazilian dishes and I will be able to communicate my Dominican traditions and dishes with my host family in Portuguese.<\/p>\n
