CARLA Summer Institutes 2006
The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) at  
the University of Minnesota has sponsored a summer institute program  
for second language teachers since 1996. These internationally-known  
institutes reflect CARLA's commitment to link research and theory  
with practical applications for the classroom.

Each institute is highly interactive and includes discussion, theory- 
building, hands-on activities, and plenty of networking  
opportunities. Participants at the CARLA summer institutes have come  
from all over the world. They have included foreign language and ESL  
teachers at all levels of instruction, program administrators, and  
curriculum specialists. Over 1,800 language teachers have  
participated in the summer institute program since it began a decade  
ago.
