All Classes and Activities Completed for SEASSI 2008
What is SEASSI?
SEASSI is an eight-week intensive language training program for undergraduates,
graduate students and professionals. It has been held since 1983 and
hosted by UW-Madison in 1994-1995 and then since 2000.
This coming summer will be the 25th Anniversary of SEASSI. Instruction
is
offered
for academic credit in nine languages
at the 1st, 2nd, and
3rd year levels.
- Burmese
- Filipino
- Hmong
- Indonesian
- Javanese
|
- Khmer
- Lao
- Thai
- Vietnamese
|
Scheduling of classes is contingent on sufficient enrollment, especially
at the upper levels.
Each language course is equivalent to two semesters of study, with
full academic year credit. Instruction is given in small individualized
groups taught by a team consisting of a coordinator (usually a linguist
specializing in Southeast Asian language pedagogy) and teachers who
are native speakers of that language.
SEASSI is an integral part of a nationwide network of language teaching
faculty from the institutions that are members of the SEASSI Consortium:
Arizona State
University, Cornell
University, Northern
Illinois University, Ohio
University, University
of California-Berkeley, University
of California-Los Angeles, University
of Hawaii-Manoa, University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University
of Michigan, University
of Washington, University
of Wisconsin-Madison, and Yale
University. Representatives from these institutions meet annually
to discuss SEASSI, and all major decisions regarding the institute must
be approved by the SEASSI Board.
