New Study Abroad Opportunity in Russia!

[Anna Geisherik]

ACLI (The Advanced Critical Languages Institute for Russian Immersion) is a
new Study Abroad opportunity in Russia for Summer 2010. We would be most
grateful if you could inform your students about this opportunity and list
it along with the following information and description among your summer
opportunities and link to our website:

ACLI: 	http://www.advancedrussian.org 

Program:   The Advanced Critical Languages Institute for Russian Immersion
(ACLI) is a Total Immersion Russian language program designed jointly by the
State University of New York at Stony Brook and Astrakhan State University
(Astrakhan, Russia). 

Application deadline: March 31, 2010

Dates:  ACLI will be held in Astrakhan, Russia, June 17-August 3, 2010. 

Credit:   6-9 transferable credits from the State University of New York at
 SUNY’s (public) tuition rates. 

Eligibility:  Undergraduates and Graduates students with 2+ years of Russian
may apply. 

Description:   The goal of ACLI is Ultimate Attainment (full fluency in a
non-native language) in Russian, a Critical Language.  ACLI students speak
only Russian for the duration of the 7-week program.  ACLI students enjoy
wonderful Russian-speaking homestays while studying for 4-5 hours daily in
small groups with local Russian pedagogy specialists. ACLI also includes
lectures, films, student activities clubs and visits to nearby Volgograd and
Elista.  

ACLI is especially appropriate for those who have already studied in Russia
on a standard Study Abroad Program and want to be challenged further.

Thank you in advance for your willingness to help us spread the word about
ACLI, a fantastic advanced-level immersion program. 
	
Please see the website for all the details including costs, and let us know
if you have any questions.  Thank you!

Best,
