Dear Colleagues,

Although we are five months out from the start of the summer term we  
are already making plans to build on the success of our program in  
Summer 2007 when we offered 3 levels of Russian and introductory  
courses in Polish, Czech, and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. Please  
announce the Summer 2008 Slavic Language Program at the University of  
Chicago to your students who may be looking for Summer Slavic  
programs, especially those who would like to spend summer in Chicago  
and/or complete a year of language credit in only 6-weeks.

We also have access to the new Center for the Study of Languages (http://languages.uchicago.edu 
), satellite TV (for Russian and Polish) and film collections and have  
funding for food and excursions to the vibrant Slavic neighborhoods  
and restaurants in Chicago.

Full course descriptions are included at the website below. Interested  
students should contact Steven Clancy <sclancy at uchicago.edu> for more  
information. Also, it is very useful for us to gauge possible  
enrollments early on. If you do have an interest in one of the summer  
language courses, please respond to this email and let me know which  
course you are interested in and if you will POSSIBLY, LIKELY, or  
DEFINITELY enroll in the course this summer. Approval of all courses  
depends on sufficient student enrollments, but we especially need to  
hear from potential students in Czech and BCS to ensure that we can  
offer these courses in Summer 2008. With sufficient student interest,  
we could also plan for 2nd-year/Intermediate courses in Polish, BCS,  
and Czech in addition to the three levels of Russian we currently offer.

Please pass this announcement along to anyone else you may know who is  
interested in Slavic languages this summer. If you would like to be  
kept on the mailing list for future messages and updates regarding the  
Summer Slavic Language Program, please respond to this email and I  
will add you to our regular mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in our Slavic courses and we hope to see  
you in the program this summer!

Sincerely,

Steven Clancy

Summer 2008 Courses
1st-year Russian (RUSS 11100-11200-11300)
2nd-year Russian (RUSS 20101-20201-20301)
Russian-English Interpretation (RUSS 21700-21701)

1st-year Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS) (BCSN 11100-11200-11300) [if  
sufficient demand]

1st-year Czech (CZEC 11100-11200-11300) [if sufficient demand]

1st-year Polish (POLI 11100-11200-11300)

All courses are subject to cancellation if sufficient numbers of  
students do not enroll. Four students in each section are considered  
sufficient for course approval. We are particularly eager to attract  
students in Czech and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian as we must prove  
sufficient student interest in these languages in order to gain course  
approval for 2008 due to lower enrollments in these languages during  
Summer 2007. If there is any interest in Intermediate/2nd-year Polish,  
Intermediate/2nd-year Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, or Intermediate/2nd- 
year Czech, please contact Steven Clancy <sclancy at uchicago.edu> as it  
may be possible to arrange such courses if there is sufficient demand.
