The Wisconsin Intensive Summer Language Institutes (WISLI) will offer virtual language instruction in summer 2020. Courses will begin on Monday, June 15th and continue through Friday, August 7th. The announcement comes as the University of Wisconsin–Madison made the decision that face-to-face instruction will not be offered on campus in consideration of the safety of participants during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each summer around 200 undergraduate students, graduate students, professionals, and others come to UW-Madison to study a language at the Wisconsin Intensive Summer Language Institutes (WISLI). WISLI is host to five summer language institutes which offer high-quality courses in 30 less commonly taught languages:
Arabic, Persian, & Turkish Language Institute (APTLI)
Central Eurasian Studies Summer Institute (CESSI)
South Asia Summer Language Institute (SASLI)
Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI)
Summer Intensive Portuguese Institute (SIPI)
This year WISLI will take place from June 15, 2020 to August 7, 2020.
