Program: June 18 - July 27, 2007

The Advanced Study of Khmer (ASK) Program is an intensive six-week
advanced Khmer language-training program held in Phnom Penh,
Cambodia. It aims to fill in a void in the academic community by
providing 3rd year level students a 'one-of-a-kind' opportunity to
acquire the linguistic foundation necessary to engage in academic
research, professional discourse, and cultural interaction
with all
segments of Cambodian society.

This immersion program focuses on advanced-level language
acquisition
and consists of a structured academic program of four hours of
task-based language instruction every morning and to three
hours of
pre-arranged field trip site visits and related task-based
learning
activities in the afternoons and weekends as a group or as
individual
work. This ASK course is equivalent to two semesters of study.
Instruction is given in small-individualized groups taught by
in-country Khmer linguists in Phnom Penh. They have extensive
experience in teaching Khmer as a foreign language. The six-week
program will be capped by a written and oral presentation of each
participant's mini research project. Participants are
encouraged to
select their own topic at the beginning of the program. [...]

This program is funded by the U.S. Department of Education,
Fulbright-Hays, and Group Projects. (10 Fellowships offer for
qualified applicants - contingent on funding).
