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 nine languages at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year levels.

* Burmese
* Filipino
* Hmong
* Indonesian
* Javanese
* Khmer
* Lao
* Thai
* Vietnamese

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.

Program Dates: Monday, June 13, 2011 to Friday, August 5, 2011
