CARLA
Summer Institutes
for Language Teachers
The Center for Advanced Research on Language
Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota has sponsored
an internationally known summer institute program for second language
teachers since 1996. The institutes reflect CARLA’s commitment
to connecting research with practice as well as the center’s
ongoing mission to share its research findings with teachers and
their second language learners. These interactive workshops include
discussion, theory-building, hands-on activities, and networking,
and link research and theory with practical applications for the
classroom.
Participants at the CARLA summer institutes have included foreign
language and ESL teachers at all levels of instruction, program
administrators, and curriculum specialists, and have come from all
over the world. These institutes have been developed and are supported,
in part, by the U.S. Department
of Education’s Title VI Language Resource Center program
and by the University of Minnesota’s College
of Education and Human Development and College
of Liberal Arts, as well as other national and state funding
sources.
The CARLA summer institute program has grown steadily in the number
of topics offered and in popularity so we encourage you to register
early. We hope to meet you this summer.
