Tajik FLEX Student has Webchat With Students Back Home
|
Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX) student Amirkhorn Bozorzoda awoke at 2:00 a.m. on September 29 in his host community of Horicon, Wisconsin, so he could participate in a webchat with students from his home school in Isfara, Tajikistan. Amirkorn's classmates asked him a number of questions about life in the U.S. and how it differed from life in his native Isfara. The conversation was in both English and Tajik and gave the Tajik students an opportunity to practice their spoken English. They were especially impressed that his American host family had purchased a laptop computer for him. Amirkhorn has been in the U.S. for only two months but his Tajik classmates rated him as already having become "really cool!"
