3. Vanderbilt Summer Intensive K’iche’ Program
Summer K’iche’ Maya Institute
More information here =>
The Centers for Latin American Studies at Vanderbilt University and the University of Chicago are pleased to announce the 2010 Summer K’iche’ Maya Institute, a summer intensive immersion language program in Nahualá, Guatemala. Instruction will be offered at Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.
The goal of the Institute is to help students develop communicative proficiency in modern spoken K’iche’. Beginning students will spend weekday mornings with linguistics and anthropology faculty from the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt University, and University of Kentucky in a classroom setting in order to develop a strong foundation in K’iche’ grammar and vocabulary. During the afternoons, each student will work one-on-one with a native K’iche’ speaker in a conversation workshop. Each student will be placed with a local home-stay family during weeks 2-6 of the program, for a genuine immersion experience. Weekly cultural demonstrations, including wood-carving, backstrap weaving, foot-loom weaving, and metate fabrication, will compliment the formal instruction.
During the first week of the program the course will meet in Quetzaltenango, where students will stay in a hotel and meet with faculty to prepare for living in Nahualá, including practice of basic K’iche’ phrases. At the start of week 2, the course will move to the town of Nahualá, where K’iche’ is the primary language used by the majority of residents. Nahualá has a laundry service, an ATM machine, a U.S.-trained physician, and several locations for using the internet.
Enrollment is limited to 12 students. Undergraduate students will be admitted only with consent of instructor. Students are encouraged to apply early. This is a field-based program — students should be flexible and prepared for living conditions in rural Guatemala.
