Abstract
AbstractForeign language houses, on‐campus residences in which students pledge to speak in their target language, offer valuable opportunities for language and culture learning. Scores of such programs exist at universities across North America (Dewey, Baker, Bown, & Martinsen, 2011), yet little is written about them in the research literature. This article details a foreign language residence at a large private university in the Western United States, describing the history of the program as well as the design of the foreign language house – from the physical space to the curriculum and social programming. It is hoped that this article provides insights into how to initiate or improve existing programs.
