Learning a new language is not just about grammar rules, vocabulary, new sounds, pronunciation, or intonation. It opens the door to a richer, broader reality\u2014one filled with emotional discovery. The extracurricular language activities organized by the Language Center aim to empower IE students to go beyond the boundaries of the classroom and step into a world of vibrant connection and cultural exploration. These experiences help refine communication skills and cultivate global awareness through real voices, shared stories, and meaningful exchanges. Language becomes more than a subject; it becomes a bridge\u2014linking hearts, unlocking opportunities, and shaping students into confident, adaptable global citizens.\u00a0<\/p>

The Language Center closely collaborates with IE Campus Life, the IE Foundation, and various student clubs\u2014such as the China Club, Culinary Club, and Music Club\u2014as part of its mission to serve the IE community as a transversal unit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
