What are the guidelines for determining whether a summer language program is “intensive”?
The IEPS threshold for determining whether the number of contact hours for a summer language program meets the intensive requirement is 140 or more hours of instruction for students at the beginning and intermediate levels, and 120 hours for advanced-level students. The summer FLAS award should provide each fellow with the equivalent of a full academic year’s worth of language instruction, and students must attend a program that is a minimum of 6 weeks in length.
