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 
Wisconsin-Madison.. Representatives from these institutions meet 
annually to discuss SEASSI, and all major decisions regarding the 
institute must be approved by the SEASSI Board.
