ADVANCED STUDY OF THAI PROGRAM
http://jsis.washington.edu/seac/ast.shtml
The Advanced Study of Thai Program (AST) is an intensive eight-week course of instruction in advanced Thai language to be conducted in Thailand with instruction provided by members of the faculty of Chiang Mai University (CMU), Chiang Mai, Thailand. Equivalent to a full year's academic work and providing benefits far beyond increased foreign-language proficiency, this overseas program will be offered to approximately 12 exceptional individuals selected nationally on the basis of their need for and ability to absorb additional, advanced training in Thai, their readiness to benefit from in-country experiences, and their commitment and potential to become the next generation of Thai language and area-studies scholars in the U.S. The intensive, competency-based classroom study is accompanied by guided exercises outside the classroom setting that closely approximate real field work. AST is sponsored by the Consortium for the Advanced Study of Thai.
