The Advanced Study of Khmer (ASK) Summer Abroad Program is an intensive eight-week Khmer language-training program held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It aims to fill a void in the US academic community by providing 3rd-year level Khmer students with a "one-of-a-kind" opportunity to acquire the linguistic foundation necessary to engage in academic research, professional discourse, and cultural immersion with all segments of Cambodian society.

This program is administered by the College of Languages and Literature at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa (UHM), and sponsored by the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) in Cambodia. The ASK project will increase the number of linguistically-competent Khmer speaking professionals available for employment in federal agencies, departments responsible for national security, and all non-governmental agencies. It will promote scholarly cooperation and cultural and socio-economic understanding between Cambodia and the US. >Read more...
