\"\"<\/p>\n

Our hope at Summer in the USA is to operate a world-class English immersion and cultural exchange program that enriches and gives hope to the Basque people of Spain. In Spain at large, more than 40% of university graduates cannot find a job and the competition is fierce for the jobs that do exist. For this reason and others, a command of the English language has become a highly sought after tool for Basque students seeking to compete in the global marketplace. Participation in cursos de ingl\u00e9s en el extranjero<\/a> (Spanish for foreign exchange English courses) like Summer In The USA significantly increases a student\u2019s desire and confidence to become fluent in English and their ability to land a job.<\/p>\n

We recently read an article about this in the BBC about how there are international companies who are becoming \u201cEnglish only\u201d<\/a>. We certainly don\u2019t think English is better than other languages, but it certainly is important and useful in the global marketplace.<\/p>\n

This is why we encourage families to become involved with SUSA. They can host a student for a month<\/a>, show love and hospitality to that student, and help them obtain a much needed skill that will improve their life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
