Summer Institute in Applied Linguistics

The Summer Institute in Applied Linguistics is an initiative of the Center for
Language Acquisition that brings leading scholars in applied linguistics to Penn
State University (University Park Campus, State College, PA) to share their
cutting-edge research by teaching courses in their area of specialization,
delivering lectures, conducting workshops, and participating in formal and
informal discussion groups. Courses are organized as 1-credit modules for which
Penn State graduate credit can be earned and transferred to other institutions.
Over a four-week period, approximately thirty courses are offered in addition to
invited plenary lectures.  Participants may earn up to six graduate credits.
 
Travel Grants to attend Summer Institute 2009

$1000 Solidarity and Merit Grants for Graduate Student Attendance at the Summer

the 2009 Summer Institute in Applied Linguistics at Penn State. Graduate
students in good standing, in applied linguistics or a related discipline, are
encouraged to apply. Each of the three grants will balance criteria such as
solidarity with individuals traveling from less represented or distant
locations, academic accomplishments, and promise of future contributions to
applied linguistics. Applicants should submit 1) a one-page (single-spaced)
narrative that includes a description of interest(s) in applied linguistics
(i.e., current and projected future research interests, relevant personal
information) that includes a brief statement with specific reasons for attending
the 2009 Summer Institute in Applied Linguistics and 2) a letter of
recommendation from a professional applied linguist who can comment on the
applicant's strengths and promise.
