Subject:U of Illinois Summer Institute for Languages of the Muslim World

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois in Urbana- 
Champaign in collaboration with the Center for South Asian and Middle  
Eastern Studies, the Center for African Studies, CIBER, and the  
European Union Center is pleased to host the Summer Institute for the  
Languages of the Muslim World (SILMW) in summer 2009 (June-August).  
SILMW will offer intensive courses in a variety of Muslim World  
languages, including Arabic, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, Urdu and  
Indonesian, by experienced, trained, and highly proficient  
instructors. Classes will be held four hours per day over a period of  
eight weeks, for a total of 132 hours. Students will earn credits  
equivalent to one full academic year of language instruction.

SILMW provides a unique opportunity to explore the languages and  
cultures of the Muslim World and interact with experts in this region.  
In addition to classroom instruction, SILMW will offer a variety of  
extracurricular activities designed to enhance classroom instruction,  
provide additional channels for language contact and practice, and  
expose learners to the traditions of the Muslim World communities.  
These extracurricular activities include research forums, conversation  
hours, cooking demonstrations, music, film showings, and other  
cultural activities.
