CUZCO QUECHUA SUMMER PROGRAM 
3 JULY  - 16 AUGUST 2002


                AN INTRODUCTION TO THE QUECHUA LANGUAGE AND CULTURES
                  IN THE HEART OF THE PERUVIAN ANDES

The Centro Bartolomé de Las Casas in Cuzco (Peru) is pleased to announce
the opening of admission for its linguistic summer program in Quechua
from July 3rd to August 16th 2002.

Our courses, are designed to develop communicative ability in both the
oral and written fields and are divided into three levels:

Basic	to introduce participants to the fundamental principles of
communication

Intermediate  	to consolidate previously acquired knowledge and
introduce the participant to more complex linguistic structures

Advanced 	to develop a fluent use of language where the student is
able to manage varying types of discourse and modes of interpretation

Courses are intensive Monday to Friday, and amount to a total of 140
teaching hours over the 6 ½ week stay.  In addition, the student will be
expected to complete set exercises in his or her own time. 

Classroom hours will be complemented by cultural activities that
reinforce linguistic skills and provide an understanding of the culture
and traditions of the Quechua speaking peoples of Cuzco.

Students will also have access to our extensive library, computer labs
connected to the Internet, and be able to attend our wide-ranging
conferences in archaeology, anthropology, culture and art.  Additionally
field trips will be organized to archaeological sites, museums and
indigenous communities throughout the region.

The total academic cost for the total stay is US$1,400; room and
full-board are available in the Colegio Andino at US$1,450.
