Description:
ALS is a two- week institute which brings the latest work in core areas of
linguistics to students from African universities 

Purpose: The African Linguistics School (ALS) is a two-week institute which
brings the latest work in core areas of linguistics to students from African
universities.

Students: For each of the first three meetings of the ALS, 70 students have
come from universities all over Africa (Togo, Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Côte
d’Ivoire, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, South Africa, Malawi, Kenya, Sierra
Leone, Ethiopia) chosen each time from over 300 applications. A small number
of students have come from universities in Europe or North America.

Postdoctoral scholars: A small number of recent Ph.D.’s from across Africa
have also participated in each ALS.

Faculty: Sixteen to eighteen internationally recognized faculty members from
North America, Europe and Africa. All faculty teach pro-bono. 

Benefits to Students: Students participate in two weeks of intense training in
the core areas of linguistics through a combination of course work,
presentations, projects and individual consultation with faculty members. They
develop international networks with faculty members and other students.
Through ALS they gain access to a library of relevant literature. Students
take what they have learned back to their host universities to share with
their colleagues. After attending the ALS, some students go on to gain
admission to North American and European graduate schools.
