John Swales suggests that groups or communities can only be a true discourse community if they meet the following six requirements: (1) the community shares clearly stated goals and common objectives … (6) a discourse community is not stagnate, thus the group may replace old members with new ones, and this creates different levels of expertise within the community (Swales 471-473).

Jicamarca, Peru I was extremely excited to be a part of the team being shipped off. Before going to Peru we were put through a “special” type of training. During this training we were taught what we were going to be speaking about, a skit, and a ballet dance. So when we went to Peru we would be ready for anything, at least that’s what I thought.

Divinity aside, I committed to dance with one goal in mind- to…

This will attract probably every student that going to dance. Also because she already popular, some people might not know her, but they'll show up since a popular singer is showing up to perform.
