SALRC Sponsored Workshops

Recognizing important needs in the area of South Asia language pedagogy in the United States, SALRC has begun pedagogy workshops and seminars for graduate students, language instructors and SALRC grant recipients. These focused workshops and seminars, to be held in different parts of the United States, will not only advance pedagogy training but also generate useful resources that would be made available via the Internet.
