Summer Institute

NALRC Annual Summer Institute

A Second Language Acquisition Certificate Program for African Language Instructors

The Summer Institute is a two-week NALRC intensive program that allows you to participate in a professional development workshop that focuses on the following themes:

  1. Using Standards-Based and Thematically Organized Backward Curriculum Design with Performance Assessment in the three Modes of Communication;
  2. Integrating Language, Culture, and Content in LCTL classrooms;
  3. Creating a Learner-Centered Classroom

Cost:

The Summer Institute is free and open to all current or future instructors of African languages and related less commonly taught languages. Preference will be given to those who have not attended the Institute before. In addition, all applicants must demonstrate a serious interest in African Language teaching.

The NALRC will cover the program fees (such as registration, administration, and instruction costs) for all selected applicants.

Participants will be responsible for their transportation and lodging expenses. We encourage prospective participants to ask for support from their respective departments and language/area studies programs to cover expenses that NALRC will not cover.

Lunch, including tea and coffee, will be provided during the workshop.
