It will be hosted this year by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and held on that campus from June 22-26.

This year’s institute will focus on the implications of research for classroom instruction. Each participant will design a small classroom research project during the course of the institute and carry it out during the fall 2009 term.

Applications are invited from faculty in languages, linguistics, and education. Graduate students are encouraged to apply, and some financial assistance may be available for them.

Additional information and online applications are available at http://www.international.ucla.edu/languages/nhlrc/2008summer/

The deadline is March 15. Decisions will be announced in early April.
