Description:

Summer Institute for the Languages of the Muslim world (SILMW) is a
program offered by the Less Commonly Taught Languages Program at the
University of Illinois since 2008. SILMW provides a unique opportunity
to explore the languages and cultures of the Muslim World while
interacting with experts on the region. In addition to classroom
instruction, SILMW offers a variety of extra-curricular learning
activities designed to enhance and enrich the language learning
process, provides additional channels for language contact, and
exposes students to the traditions of the communities of the Muslim
World.
The institute is held annually at the University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign campus. Classes take place during the Summer
semester. University students earn between 4 and 10 credit hours for
taking one or two intensive language courses over the period of 4-8
weeks. SILMW offers exciting opportunities to immerse in the target
language through up to 4 hours of daily class instruction and daily
co-curricular activities, including research forums, conversation
tables, cooking classes, film series, field trips and so much more!
Proficiency in any language endorsed by SILMW program presents a
competitive advantage in the modern day job market.
SILMW offers intensive courses in Arabic, Persian, Swahili, Turkish,
and Wolof. SILMW promotes the study of the Less Commonly Taught
Languages, critical to US national interest in the 21st century.
