Special Opportunity for Teachers of Less Commonly Taught Languages

Opportunity Knocks! The Center for Advanced Research on Language
Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota is pleased to
offer a special last minute opportunity for LCTL teachers to attend a
CARLA Summer Institute.

The special waiver covers the cost of the initial registration fee
for any CARLA institute--a $350 value! Waivers are available to
practicing LCTL teachers in a K-16 educational setting in the United
States.

The CARLA summer institutes are each week-long professional
development programs held during the weeks of July 28 - August 1,
August 4-8, and August 11-15, 2003. The institutes offered this year
are:

Developing Materials for Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs)
Maximizing Study Abroad: Strategies for Language and Culture Learning
Basics of Second Language Acquisition for Teachers
Developing Assessments for the Second Language Classroom
A Practical Course in Styles- and Strategies-Based Instruction

Technology in the Second Language Classroom
Culture as the Core in the Second Language Classroom
