CARLA
Summer Institutes
for Language Teachers
The Center for Advanced Research on Language
Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota has offered
a summer institute program for second language
teachers since 1996. The institutes offered by CARLA reflect our commitment
to connecting research with practice as well as our
ongoing mission to share what we've learned with teachers and
their second language learners. Linking research and theory with practical applications for the classroom, each institute includes
discussion, theory-building, hands-on activities, and networking with colleagues.
CARLA summer institute participants- more than 2,800 to date- have come from all over the world. They have included foreign
language and ESL teachers at all levels of instruction, as well as program
administrators, curriculum specialists, and language teacher educators. These institutes have been developed and are supported,
in part, by the U.S. Department
of Education’s Title VI Language Resource Center program. The summer institutes are co-sponsored by the University of Minnesota’s College
of Education and Human Development and College
of Liberal Arts.
The CARLA summer institute program has grown steadily in popularity and many of the institutes fill up quickly, so you are encouraged to register
early!
