Elementary ESTONIAN: (Slavic 103E)
Intensive Elementary ESTONIAN (12 units)
The intensive Summer ESTONIAN Program gives you a unique opportunity to
study the language of one of the most interesting cultures of the European Union.
The Estonian course, offered for the first time in UCLA's history, is the equivalent of
one academic year of language instruction in eight weeks. It takes the students from
the elementary to the intermediate level, with instruction focused both on the acquisition
of vocabulary and grammar and the development of listening, speaking, reading, and
writing skills. Communicative class activities and oral/written presentations foster
authentic language use. Cultural information is provided by class readings, visits to
local ethnic communities, exposure to Estonian periodicals and internet sources,
cultural videos, and movies.
The Intensive Chinese Program at UCLA offers the equivalent of one year of instruction in only 7 weeks.
All UCLA students can enroll in this course using URSA (http: //www.ursa.ucla.edu/).
All other students can enroll in this course here (https: //www.summer.ucla.edu/EnrollRegister/register.cfm).
A limited amount of scholarships are available here (http: //www.summer.ucla.edu/FinancialAid/langscholarship_form.cfm).
Language Intensives in L.A. is organized by the UCLA Center for World Languages and UCLA Summer Sessions with support from the UC Consortium for Language Learning and Teaching, the UCLA African Studies Center, UCLA Departments of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures, Linguistics, Slavic Languages, and Spanish & Portuguese.
