Au Pair Enrichment
The Au Pair Enrichment Program is designed for au pairs seeking to develop and enhance their English language skills while living in the United States. Students engage in a variety of experiences and exercises in which they are given opportunities to learn through conversation, reading, and writing.
Courses provide a fun yet educational way for au pairs to practice and improve their English speaking skills, grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension of the English language. Additional courses explore American customs, culture, history, and entertainment.
All classes are held on the University of Richmond campus and taught by highly qualified instructors who utilize a variety of educational methods to lead effective and rewarding class sessions. The total number of hours for course completion includes in-class instruction, as well as some work and assignments to be completed at home.
A variety of Au Pair Enrichment Courses are now available to the community. Upon successful completion of a course within the program, each participant will be recognized with a Certificate of Completion indicating the hours earned for fulfilling course requirements.
SCS staff and instructors reserve the opportunity to recommend placement in appropriate levels where necessary, based on au pair levels of English proficiency and skills. We want to ensure that all students derive the maximum benefit from the course.
Upcoming offerings – Spring and Summer 2010 Au Pair courses are being confirmed. For January through April, weekend options will be offered as well as 8 week courses in TOEFL Prep, and other English for Specific Purposes subjects. Summer May and June weekend courses are being confirmed as well. Details will be posted to this site when available.
