Abstract

In KCC’s International Café program, students from all cultures meet in a casual café setting (including coffee, tea, and world music) to share their talents in a moderately structured Service Learning program. Language exchange is one of the most popular features of the International Café, with students of all languages (e.g. English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Filipino, French, Spanish, Hawaiian) able to find native speakers for honing their conversation and writing skills. Cultural exchange occurs in both formal and informal modes through student cultural presentations and on and off campus service activities. Students from many types of courses enroll in the café (language classes, anthropology, linguistics, history, etc.), enriching their classroom experience with hands‐on intercultural experiences.
