Welcome to the Southeast Asian Flagship Languages Initiative! The Southeast Asian Flagship Languages Initiative (SEAFLI) is a special initiative of the Boren Awards for International Study, administered through the University of Wisconsin-Madison. SEAFLI offers awardees:
- Intensive language study options
- Indonesian
- Thai
- Vietnamese
- Both domestic and overseas language programs
- Cultural immersion
SEAFLI students participate in a full-time domestic summer program offered at UW-Madison through SEASSI. Students will then travel abroad to Malang, Indonesia/Chiang Mai, Thailand/Hanoi, Vietnam for a full-time fall semester of language and culture study. All participants must complete both the summer domestic and fall abroad programs. Requests for additional study through to the spring semester can be made to Boren during the application process.
In addition to full-time language courses, students will have
- Language partners
- Language conversation tables (summer)
- Homestays (fall)
- Cultural excursions
These program activities help ensure that language goals are being met. Details on these and many additional benefits will be provided at the start of each program in summer and fall. Participants in SEAFLI may start with no language proficiency or advanced proficiency.
