Southeast Asian Summer Studies Institute: Fellowship Application Deadline Reminder: 2007 Heritage Language Classes
The Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI) offers
university-level instruction in Burmese, Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian,
Khmer, Lao, Thai and Vietnamese languages at multiple levels.
Instruction is also offered in Javanese if enrollments are sufficient.
In addition, a special focus is made on Heritage language instruction at
SEASSI in Filipino, Hmong, Khmer, Lao and Vietnamese languages and
cultures. Heritage instruction is specifically geared toward
native-speakers of those five 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
Southeast Asian language, there are 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. Please note that the deadline for
applying for Heritage Fellowships and Foreign Language Area Studies
(FLAS) Fellowships is February 2, 2007, which is fast approaching. The
deadline for applying for Tuition Reduction Scholarships is April 2,
2007. For more information about applying to SEASSI, including applying
