Name:

The Language House Immersion Program, created in 1989, was the first living-learning program established at the University of Maryland. Open to second-semester freshmen and above, it provides students, who are serious about language learning, with the opportunity for daily language and cultural immersion in an organized study environment. Students who choose this program will develop communication skills in both academic and daily life settings through diverse organized activities, informal daily contacts, annual Language House events, and supplemental coursework in the target language.

Language House Spring Showcase








The Showcase:

The annual language house showcase is a wonderful opportunity to view the different cultural aspects from each of the 10 languages represented in the house. Each of the clusters comes up with a unique, educational, and entertaining performance that exhibits the diverse talents that our students have to offer. Family members are sent invitations to show the progress that their child has learned within the immersion program – but other members of the community are welcome to attend as well! In addition to the performances, attendees end the night with an assortment of home-made cultural dished pertaining to each language.

La exhibición anual de la Casa de Idiomas es una oportunidad fantástica para ver los distintos aspectos culturales de cada una de las diez lenguas representadas en la casa. Cada grupo diseña su propia presentación, baile o canción que sea único, educativo y divertido para mostrar los talentos diversos de nuestros estudiantes. Padres y familia reciben invitaciones al evento para compartir con ellos el progreso de los estudiantes y lo que han aprendido ya en el programa de inmersión… ¡pero otros miembros de la comunidad también pueden asistir! Además de las actuaciones, el evento termina con una merienda de varios platos de comida preparado por los estudiantes y representando cada lengua de la casa. Mucha cultura en la Language House de la Universidad de Maryland.
