Heritage Language Classes for Summer
2003
Dates: June 16 to
August 8, 2003
The Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI)
will offer 8-week intensive summer Heritage language and culture
classes in Khmer, Lao, Hmong and Vietnamese. The classes will take
place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, from June 16 to August
8, 2003.
These classes are intended for Hmong, Lao, Cambodian
and Vietnamese university students who grew up in North America
and can speak/understand the language of their Southeast Asian
culture but would like to learn to read and write their language
as well. Students will have a chance to learn more about the traditions
of the culture and how to make sense of their lives and traditions
in America/Canada in an historical context. Independent, project-oriented
study opportunities will also be available, in the
context of modular instruction, so students who enter the program at an
intermediate literacy level can also have their educational needs met and
be stimulated and challenged.
The classes are taught by experienced instructors
from the United States, Canada and Southeast Asia, and make use
of the latest teaching materials and methods. All classes carry
one full year of university language credit. A variety of fellowships
and tuition reductions are available. For more information, please
