XUSH KELIBSIZ!

The program combines formal classroom instruction and extracurricular activities to increase both the linguistic competence and the cultural literacy of participants.The program is based on the use of authentic materials, including the live participation of faculty and facilitators from Uzbekistan.

All 2021 courses will be held online in response to COVID-19.

2021 SAMARKAND PROGRAM SUSPENDED

Due to uncertainties surrounding Indiana University's ability to deliver a safe and pedagogically effective program in Uzbekistan in July 2021, the overseas component of the program has been suspended. The 2021 Uzbek programs will be offered in an online/on-campus format, described below. The Workshop looks forward to re-launching the Samarkand program in 2022.

YOU HAVE OPTIONS

This course can be taken online or in person. Regardless of modality, this intensive language course emphasizes interpersonal communicative skills. It features several hours a day of real-time work with the instructor and with fellow students, in addition to independent study, homework, and co-curricular activities.

In-person instruction is provided on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University. On-campus housing is available.

Uzbek Level 1 provides beginners a solid introduction to the language, equivalent to the 1^st-Year curriculum in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University.

Students who complete the course successfully will reach a proficiency of Intermediate Low or better. They will be able to communicate in day-to-day situations, will be able to read and write effectively on familiar topics, and will have a solid foundation for further study or travel.

The first, online, half of the program introduces Uzkeb culture through authentic materials and media, as well as through structured interactions with staff and faculty from the overseas program.

The second, overseas, half of the program immerses students in Uzbek culture with guided extramural activities, excursions, and host-family living, while deepening student mastery of the language through daily intensive classroom instruction.
