SUMMARY:Khmer Language and Culture Program
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n*The program operation is dependent on the situation with Covid-19.\n\n\n\n\nThe CKS Khmer Language and Culture Program (KLCP) provides an opportunity for faculty\, post-graduate researchers and undergraduates from U.S. universities to participate in an intensive eight-week study abroad program in Phnom Penh\, and Siem Reap Cambodia.  \nThis program is administered in collaboration with the University of Hawaii\, Mānoa. The program is designed for those who wish to develop Khmer language skills and understanding of contemporary Cambodian society for academic and professional purposes\, but who have not completed two years of formal language training.  \nKLCP welcomes those who have some basic or no prior Khmer language learning experience. \nThe program is intended to complement Hawaii’s Advanced Study in Khmer (ASK) program and is structured along similar lines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Program\n\n\n\n\nThere is a demand among academic researchers for appropriate high quality in-country immersive Khmer language training. However\, not all have completed the two years of academic training in Khmer required for Advance Study in Khmer (ASK).  \nThe CKS Khmer Language and Culture Program aims to meet that demand and provide the opportunity for those with less Khmer language experience to benefit from study in-country. Like their ASK counterparts\, participants in the CKS program will receive four hours of intensive language training during morning sessions. In the afternoon\, they will take part\, alongside the ASK program participants\, in fieldtrips and other cultural activities\, including visits to local governmental and non-governmental institutions\, where their language skills can be used in real-time situations. \nClick here for information about the ASK program. \n\n\n\n\nProgram Goals\n\n\n\n\nThe program goals reflect CKS’s broader agenda of promoting research and international scholarly exchange through programs that increase understanding of Cambodia and its region: \n\nTo provide in-country language training for students interested in Cambodia and Khmer Studies.\nTo enable faculty\, post-graduate researchers\, and undergraduates to advance their level of Khmer language skills in preparation for fieldwork and study in Cambodia\,\nTo promote cooperation and educational exchange among individuals\, institutions and Cambodia.\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram Instruction\n\n\n\n\nTo ensure the quality of the program\, the group will restrict to 8 individuals.  \nInstruction is given by trained Cambodian instructors and linguists and follows the ASK curriculum at the appropriate level for the group. \n\n\n\n\nTuition and Administrative Costs\n\n\n\n\nCKS will cover the costs of tuition\, administration\, and local travel on field visits for participants. Participants are responsible for their international travel and living expenses including accommodations and food during the program. \nParticipants must have health insurance and will be responsible for any entry fees into Cambodia that are imposed by the Cambodian Government including visa fees\, Covid-tests\, quarantine\, etc. if applicable. \n*You can keep up with the updates of the Covid-19 situation and travel requirements in Cambodia via: \n\nMinistry of Health\, Cambodia (in Khmer)\nUS Embassy in Cambodia\nFrench Embassy in Cambodia\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEligibility\n\n\n\n\nGenerally\, an applicant may be among the following:\n \n\nStudents and researchers working or studying in social sciences\, humanities\, foreign languages\, and area studies. *\nA faculty member at a U.S. University\, or a U.S. citizen working at a foreign University.\nA graduate student\, or junior or senior at a university\, who is a prospective teacher in the areas afore-mentioned.\nA graduate student\, or junior or senior in an institution of higher learning\, who plans to apply his/her language skills and knowledge of countries vital to the United States’ national security in fields other than teaching\, including government\, the professions\, or international development.\nA teacher in an elementary or secondary school\, or an experienced education administrator responsible for planning\, conducting or supervising programs in modern foreign languages or area studies at the elementary\, secondary\, or post-secondary level.\nCitizens\, nationals\, or permanent residents of the United States may benefit from specific subsidies.\nParticipants who are fully vaccinated and healthy for traveling\n\n*The program accepts applications from non-US citizens at a tuition of approximately US$ 500.
