Description:
Summer Institute for Languages of the Muslim World welcomes applications for
summer intensive language classes.  
 
The Summer Institute for Languages of the Muslim World is a language institute
that takes place over the summer (June 13 - August 6, 2016) at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This summer we will be offering 

- Arabic
- Persian
- Swahili
- Turkish
- Uzbek 
- Wolof 

The eight week session includes a four-week elementary level course (no prior
knowledge of the target language is assumed) and a four-week intermediate
level course. Each four-week course covers the amount of material equivalent
to one semester of language instruction at the University of Illinois.
Students can choose complete four or eight week of classes.

We invite students to join the 9% of Americans who choose the unique and
meaningful experience of learning a Less Commonly Taught Language. We believe
that learning these languages will allow students to gain new global
perspectives and set them apart as highly qualified individuals for
international work and engagement. Many of these languages have been
designated by the US government as critical to U.S. National Security and can
assist students in securing international positions in governmental,
development and academic sectors.
 
Join us and over the short span of 8 weeks you can earn up to 10 credits and
go from never having heard of a language to holding a conversation in it. For
