*Special Stipends for LCTL Teachers*
**
To support the improvement of instruction of Less Commonly Taught Languages
(LCTLs), the University of Minnesota's National Resource Centers offer a
limited number of $600 stipends for LCTL teachers to help defray the cost of
attending any of the CARLA summer institutes. The University NRCs--the
Consortium for the Study of the Asias (CSA), the European Studies Consortium
(ESC) and the Institute for Global Studies (IGS)--are funded by the U.S.
Department of Education and sponsor this program as part of their mission to
support LCTL teachers.
Applications are due by April 11, 2008.

*CARLA Summer Institutes 2008*

The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) at the
University of Minnesota has sponsored a summer institute program for second

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.
