参加独立学习课程的原因:

  • 参加ing a national convention such as the ACTFL Annual 公约 is an important professional development activity. Receiving independent study credit validates the importance of the experience. The opportunity to formalize new knowledge through written reports and apply newly acquired skills and competencies in the participant’s work role increases the value of the learning experience for both the individual and the employer.
  • Participating in a series of planned educational experiences will help develop future professional leaders by using the ACTFL Annual 公约 as part of the higher education process.
  • Planning an independent study in advance will give the attendees the opportunity to know the requirements to receive credit for participation before the convention.
  • Selecting a higher education institution in which attendees are already enrolled or that is in their area or state will eliminate problems such as transferring courses and out-of-state tuition charges.
