Caverlee Cary at UCB calls the TLC's attention to:

Advanced Study of Thai

Program Orientation: June 23 & 24, 2007
Program Dates: June 25 - August 17, 2007

The Advanced Study of Thai Program (AST) is an intensive
eight-week
course of instruction in advanced Thai language conducted in
Thailand
with instruction provided by members of the faculty of Chiang Mai
University (CMU), Chiang Mai, Thailand. Equivalent to a full
year's
academic work and providing benefits far beyond increased
foreign-language proficiency, this overseas program will be
offered
to approximately 12 exceptional individuals selected nationally on
the basis of their need for and ability to absorb additional,
advanced training in Thai, their readiness to benefit from
in-country
experiences, and their commitment and potential to become the next
generation of Thai language and area-studies scholars in the
U.S. The
intensive, competency-based classroom study is accompanied by
guided
exercises outside the classroom setting that closely
approximate real
field work. AST is sponsored by the Consortium for the
Advanced Study
of Thai, of which UC Berkeley is a member.

Applications Due: February 2, 2007
