The 2019 IALC Wint er Inst it ut e ?Think
Globally, Act Locally? is a unique language
immersion program that takes learning out of
the classroom and into the real world. Over ten

combining intensive classwork with topical
excursions and field trips. Participants reinforce
their learning with hands-on experience while
enjoying the countless perks of living in one of
the world?s most dynamic and fascinating
capital cities, New York.
