Luce Grant Announcement and ACTFL OPI Workshop

As discussed at our strategic planning meeting at the recent COTSEAL conference in Seattle, the University of Wisconsin in collaboration with SEALC submitted a grant proposal for a project “Professional and Materials Development to Strengthen Southeast Asian Language Instruction,” to the Henry Luce Foundation Southeast Asia Initiative.  We are delighted to report that this grant has now been funded and we will be starting with the proposed series of workshops in December. 

Here are links to the full announcement of the grant as well as a Save-the-Date announcement for the first grant sponsored workshop, the ACTFL OPI workshop to be held Dec 13-18, 2019 at the University of Wisconsin.  We hope that you will consider attending the workshop and also share this news with potentially interested colleagues.

We will be circulating more information later in the summer about the details of the ACTL OPI workshop and the application process.
