The Center for Languages of the Central Asian Region (CeLCAR) at Indiana University will offer summer intensive language instruction in Kazakh and Uzbek languages at the newly established Central Asian Advanced Summer Language Institute (CAASLI), located in Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Samarkand (Uzbekistan). Each 8-week course (for 6 credit hours) will be open to graduate and undergraduate students (of at least a junior standing) who have completed a minimum of four semesters of training in one of the two languages. Tentative dates for the Uzbek program are June 18 to August 13, 2003; for the Kazakh program, June 23 to August 18, 2003. Kazakh instruction will be organized through the Adilet School of Law (Almaty) and Uzbek instruction through the Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Languages (SSIFL). The cost of the Almaty program will be $1,500, and for the Samarkand program, $1,250. This sum covers course tuition, books and materials, excursions, housing with local families, most meals, health insurance, and 6 credit hours from Indiana University. Limited grant money is available to cover program costs and some transportation. Applications for financial assistance must be received by March 1, and for admission by April 1, 2003.
