Though most students speak English and courses are offered primarily in English, language is an issue. This experience\u0026nbsp;forces me to examine my approach to concept delivery as well as lecture organization. In effect, the experience has made me a better teacher. I also get a chance to discuss research with some of the finest professors in the world.
