Intensive Summer Macedonian in Ohrid
CLI's 4-week summer program in Ohrid helps students extend and solidify the language and culture skills they develop during intensive Macedonian classes on the ASU campus.
The Ohrid program offers Elementary and Advanced instruction.
Students in both levels share a common set of activities and excursions. See the Ohrid activities schedule for one example.
Students receive 3 ASU credits at the 400 level (SLC 494) for successfully completing the program.
Since the Ohrid program is small, instructors provide a great deal of individual attention and staff are able to tailor the program to students' needs.
This program is open only to students who complete one of the 7-week courses below.
Classes meet 3 hours a day on weekdays. Cultural activities take place every afternoon. Activities are planned each year in collaboration with that year's participants. For an example, see the 2010 Ohrid activities schedule.
Books and materials are the same as those for the intensive Elementary Macedonian and intensive Advanced Macedonian courses.
Students live in a pension and provide their own meals.
Located on picturesque Lake Ohrid, the city of Ohrid is in the southwestern corner of the Republic of Macedonia, and is the premier resort region of this former Yugoslav republic. Known for its historic role in the spread of Eastern Orthodoxy in the Slavic world, Ohrid is situated near the intersection of Macedonia, Albania, and Greece. Lake Ohrid, the largest inland lake in the Balkans, keeps Ohrid naturally cool in the summer. The Ohrid Summer Festival, which runs concurrently with the ASU program, features world class musical and dramatic productions performed in the historic Cathedral of St. Sophia.
