FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

01 September 2020

UHM Indo-Pacific Language and Literatures received one Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistants

Ms. Henda Dewi of Indonesia has been awarded a Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program grants to serve as teaching assistants in Indonesian, and take courses at University of Hawai’i at Mānoa for academic year 2020-21.  While in Hawai’i, she will share her language and culture with local communities to inspire Americans to travel and study overseas, and make U.S. citizens better prepared to engage with businesses, governments, and organizations abroad.

The Fulbright FLTA Program is sponsored by the United States Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). As part of the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, the Fulbright FLTA Program is designed to develop Americans’ knowledge of foreign cultures and languages by supporting teaching assistantships in over 30 languages at hundreds of U.S. institutions of higher education. The program offers educators from over 50 countries the opportunity to develop their professional skills and gain first-hand knowledge of the U.S., its culture and its people.

The FLTA Program is a valuable resource to rejuvenate the Southeast Asian language programs at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, and especially useful to the smaller one-person programs in the Department of Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures.

Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures (IPLL) provides an opportunity without parallel elsewhere in the country for students to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the languages and cultures of that part of the world that encompasses more than 25 percent of the Earth’s population and an unusual diversity of peoples.

Pacific, Southeast Asian languages, Arabic, Sanskrit, Hindu and Urdu are taught in the Department. The coverage of these languages is unique in the United States: this is the only department in the country to offer a BA degree in Philippine Language and Literature (Filipino or Ilokano) and the only one to offer every national language of Southeast Asia.

Languages taught by the Department’s instructors on a regular basis include: Arabic, Cambodian (Khmer), Chamorro, Filipino, Hindi, Ilokano, Indonesian, Maori, Samoan, Sanskrit, Tahitian, Thai, Tongan, and Vietnamese. Additional languages and topics may be offered on an as-needed basis.
