CARLA Summer Institutes 2004
Read to the end for "Special Support for LCTL Teachers"

Registration is in full swing for CARLA's ninth annual series of summer institutes at the University of Minnesota. Each of the institutes is a highly interactive blend of theory and practical application. Teachers will be engaged in discussion, networking, theory-building and hands-on activities that relate to the topic of the day. Nearly 1,400 language professionals have come from all over the world to participate in the CARLA summer institute program. They have included ESL and foreign language teachers at all levels of instruction, program administrators, and curriculum specialists. All the summer institutes have been very popular, so we encourage early registration!
