Summer Language Seminars

Summer language seminars at Carthage help you refresh your teaching skills, while earning credits that meet DPI license renewal requirements and can be applied toward a master of education degree. Participants also may elect to take the seminar without credit.

These intensive summer courses taken in French, German or Spanish are taught by respected professionals. The courses address current issues in instruction and are organized to meet the needs of busy teachers. You will practice language skills by discussing topics pertaining to the culture of French-, German- or Spanish-speaking countries, and using this experience to design communicative activities. Extensive use of varied media will recreate an authentic immersion experience.

Classes meet for five days or less on Carthage's beautiful campus along Lake Michigan. There will be ample opportunity to practice using your target language, network with other professionals, and enjoy campus activities. Both Milwaukee and Chicago are within easy driving distance. For a nominal fee, you can stay in a private room in one of our residences, with three daily meals included.
