International Student Exchange
Three international students from Japan and South Korea will be attending UOG this

student exchange agreements with approximately 80 institutions in South Korea and
Japan. The program aims to provide students with academic, language, and cultural
enrichment through study abroad experiences.
English Language Institute Program
The UOG English Language Institute welcomed seven international students from off-island this academic year, its first
off-island students since the start of the pandemic, in addition to students who are
residents of Guam. The institute assists non-English speaking individuals to learn
English in a classroom setting. Through the 13-week program, the students attend classes
to improve their writing skills, conversation skills, and reading comprehension.

Thirty students from Sahmyook University in South Korea completed a four-week virtual English Adventure Program offered through UOG GLE. The program, sponsored by the Blue Ladder Program, was held from Dec. 27 to Jan. 21. The students received three hours of English instruction per day and had the opportunity to attend one-hour presentations from various companies and government of Guam agencies as part of the Blue Ladder curriculum.
