Assignment #1 *

You're scrolling through Instagram and spot a student from your country celebrating their college acceptance. You want to reach out and invite them for an interview. What is the message you send them?

Assignment #2 *

Imagine you conducted the interview in this video. Watch it and write a short paragraph based on the information the student shares. Please write from the student's point of view, using first-person language such as “My TOEFL score...”

Assignment #3 *

Finding students to interview is a big part of this internship, so this tests your research skills. Find someone from your country who studied abroad in Germany and share their links or contact details (LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.). Pick someone who isn't a big creator or public figure, since they're unlikely to reply.
