* courses will be supplemented by catered lunches from area Slavic restaurants and possible field trips to Russian, Czech, Polish, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian restaurants, shops, etc. in Chicago
Full course descriptions are included at the website below. Interested
students should contact Steven Clancy <sclancy@uchicago.edu> for more information. Also, it is very useful for us to gauge possible enrollments early on. If you do have an interest in one of the summer language courses, please respond to this email and let me know which course you are interested in and if you will POSSIBLY, LIKELY, or DEFINITELY enroll in the course this summer. Approval of all courses depends on sufficient student enrollments, but we especially need to hear from potential students in Czech and BCS to ensure that we can offer these courses in Summer 2008. With sufficient student interest, we could also plan for 2nd-year/Intermediate courses in Polish, BCS, and Czech in addition to the three levels of Russian we currently offer.
