Huaylas Quechua 2013: Deadline March 15th
The Center for Social Well Being offers our 6 week Intensive Quechua
Language course in the north-central Peruvian Andes. The program is
designed for students who require class instruction and Quechua immersion
contexts to develop language proficiency. FLAS Foreign Language and Area
Studies grantees are eligible to apply.
Course Content, Structure and Activities Beginning, intermediate and
advanced courses are offered that provide concentrated class hours focused
on grammar, vocabulary and the development of speaking skills and listening
comprehension of Huaylas Quechua, native to the region. The Center for
Social Well Being is affiliated with the Regional Academy of Ancash Quechua,
an association composed of bilingual school teachers, historians, writers,
folklorists, musicians, poets and other professionals dedicated to the
preservation and revitalization of the Quechua language. All
university-trained in intercultural education, our team of Quechua
instructors offer an academically rigorous program, complemented with an
orientation to Quechua creative expressions of local myths, legends, songs
and poetry. The program is structured into 4 hour classroom sessions each
morning, and a 2 hour workshop of conversation, songs and poetry every
afternoon. The 6 week session provides 140 contact hours with native
speakers, equivalent to 1 year of university study. Our teachers guide
students to their home communities and the schools where they teach for
in-context language practice and skills acquisition. A highlight of the
program is student participation in fiestas and the revitalization of Andean
rituals in honor of the spirits of the earth and cosmos. Program site The
Center for Social Well Being is located on an ecological ranch in the
Quechua-speaking community of Cajamarquilla, nestled in the Cordillera
Blanca mountain range of the Callejón de Huaylas, 7 hours northeast of Lima.
Students lodge here for the duration of the program to fully engage in rural
activities where there are plenty of opportunities to practice Quechua
conversation. Excursions to archaeological sites, glacial lakes, hotsprings
and impressive mountain passes are available. The program is under the
direction of Applied Medical Anthropologist, Patricia J. Hammer, Ph.D., and
Ecologist, Flor de María Barreto Tosi.
Total Program Cost: $6,000 US dollars that includes all program tuition and
fees, food and accommodations at the rural center, field excursions and
course materials.
