Dear Slavists,
It's not too late to register for the Summer Slavic Language Program
(3 levels of Russian including simultaneous interpretation
Russian<=>English; introductory Polish, Czech, and Bosnian/Croatian/
Serbian). All courses
If you know any students who are looking for programs in Chicago,
please ask them to contact me, Steven Clancy <sclancy at uchicago.edu>.
Courses begin June 23 and run through August 1. All courses offer an
intensive academic year of language in only 6 weeks. Summer in Chicago
is beautiful with lots of things going on downtown as well as close
proximity to Slavic neighborhoods with their shops, restaurants, and
other cultural events.
All courses are subject to cancellation if sufficient numbers of
students do not enroll. Four students in each section are considered
sufficient for course approval. We are particularly eager to attract
students in Czech and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian as we must prove
sufficient student interest in these languages in order to gain course
approval for 2008 due to lower enrollments in these languages during
Summer 2007. If there is any interest in Intermediate/2nd-year Polish,
Intermediate/2nd-year Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, or Intermediate/2nd-
year Czech, please contact Steven Clancy <sclancy at uchicago.edu> as it
may be possible to arrange such courses if there is sufficient demand.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
All the best,
Steven Clancy
