Advanced Study of Khmer in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Royal University of Phnom Penh
Program Dates: June 9 - August 1, 2008

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

This program is administered by the College of Languages and
Literature at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa (UHM), and
sponsored by the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) in
Cambodia. The ASK project will increase the number of
linguistically-competent Khmer speaking professionals
available for employment in federal agencies, departments
responsible for national security, and all non-governmental
agencies. It will promote scholarly cooperation and cultural
and socio-economic understanding between Cambodia and the US.

Application deadline: March 3, 2008

Generous financial aid is available.
