2007 Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute
The Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI) offers
university-level instruction in Filipino, Hmong, Khmer, Lao and
Vietnamese language and culture at multiple levels. Instruction is
specifically geared toward native-speakers of those languages who wish
to learn to read or write and/or improve their formal speaking skills.
If you already possess basic or intermediate-level reading and writing
skills in your language, there are several higher level classes
available at SEASSI in all of the above five languages. If you cannot
speak or understand the language of your parents/grandparents at all,
SEASSI also offers beginning level classes, for which no previous
knowledge of the language is required.
To see examples of Filipino, Hmong, Khmer, Lao and Vietnamese teaching
materials used at SEASSI, student work, photos, and videos of classroom
activities and student projects, visit:

SEASSI will take place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from June
18 to August 10, 2007. SEASSI is an intensive language program where
students have an opportunity to study only Southeast Asian languages,
five days a week, for two months. Students receive one year (2 full
semesters) of foreign language credit for the program.
Several types of financial aid are available for SEASSI students,
including the Heritage Fellowship. To read more about applying for the
program and receiving financial aid (including important application
deadlines), see:
