Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute 2017
Program Dates: June 19 to August 11
SEASSI is an eight-week intensive language training program for
undergraduates, graduate students and professionals. It has been held
since 1983 and hosted by UW-Madison in 1994-1995 and then since 2000.
Instruction is offered for academic credit in eight languages at the
1st, 2nd, and 3rd year levels.
Burmese
Filipino
Hmong
Indonesian
Khmer
Lao
Thai
Vietnamese
Javanese
Each language course is equivalent to two semesters of study, with full
academic year credit. Instruction is given in small individualized
groups taught by a team consisting of a coordinator (usually a linguist
specializing in Southeast Asian language pedagogy) and teachers who are
native speakers of that language. Instruction is intensive. Classes are
held from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm, Mondays through Fridays. Most students
find that they spend an additional three to four hours per day on homework.
SEASSI now offers a limited number of spots for distance students to
participate in SEASSI classes. Click here

Cornell University, Michigan State University, Northern Illinois
University, Ohio University, University of California-Berkeley,
University of California-Los Angeles, University of Hawaii-Manoa,
University of Michigan, University of Washington, and University of

annually to discuss SEASSI, and all major decisions regarding the
institute must be approved by the SEASSI Board.
