Program
Course instruction is offered in the following languages at the first,
second and third year levels: Burmese, Hmong, Indonesian, Khmer, Lao,
Tagalog, Thai and Vietnamese. In previous years, we have also offered
Javanese language classes. 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
faculty page).
For each language, we have collected syllabus from past summers. Please
see Language Courses page and click on the
language you are interested in to look at some materials we have used.
The syllabi are in PDF format, so you must have Adobe
Reader installed on your machine in order to read the file. We will
try to add more materials to the individual language pages so please
check back again. Also, please feel free to contact each language coordinator
for further information.
Additionally, on the SEASSI
Heritage Program page, there is an abundance of information regarding
language classes at SEASSI including curriculum content, video clips
of class activities, photos and more. Although the website is catered
to heritage students, it demonstrates many of the assignments and class
activities that take place throughout SEASSI.
