CLAC Course Development Grants
Call for听Proposals
Culture and Language Across the Curriculum (CLAC)听is a national framework designed to promote the use of foreign languages to enhance the study of non-language subjects. The Center for Asian Studies invites 麻豆免费版下载Boulder faculty who would like to add CLAC techniques to their teaching to apply for CLAC Fellow course development grants.
CLAC Co-Seminar Course Development听Grants听will offer a $1500 stipend for the development of a supplemental one-credit undergraduate co-seminar drawing students and content from an existing disciplinary course in any department. Faculty will be responsible for teaching this co-seminar using primary Asian language sources to enhance the content of the main course. CLAC co-seminars will be listed as ASIA 4001 (Arts & Humanities) or ASIA 4002 (Social Sciences).
Recipients who receive the summer stipend should offer the new course in AY 2026-27. All recipients will receive training and support through the CAS CLAC program and CLAC Consortium members. CLAC courses should utilize primary language and culture sources, including historical or contemporary materials and mass media.
Application Information:
Brief proposals should address the role that Asian language materials could play in supplementing the course, list examples of materials that could be used for CLAC, and outline selected topics from the main course that would lend themselves to CLAC techniques. Please include the existing course syllabus and a 2-3 page CV.
