Summer Institute for Languages of the Muslim World

Host Institution: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Website: https://linguistics.illinois.edu/languages/summer-institute-languages-muslim-world

Dates: 15-Jun-2020 - 08-Aug-2020

Focus: The Summer Institute for Languages of the Muslim World (SILMW) is an annual intensive language program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We invite students to join the 9% of Americans who choose the unique and meaningful experience of learning a Less Commonly Taught Language (LCTL).  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 can assist students in securing international positions in governmental, development, and academic sectors.
