News - Summer University of Balassi Institute

The Summer University of Balassi Institute 5^th August 2013 - 30^th August 2013 offers its program in the heart of Budapest (Hungarian language classes, lectures on Hungarian culture and field trips to popular spots in Hungary).

We offer Hungarian classes at all levels from basic to advanced (A1-C1). The lectures (in English) as well as the field trips are designed to present different aspects of Hungarian culture.

The aim of the language classes at beginner level is to help students speak Hungarian with confidence from day 1. Students are exposed to a balanced treatment of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and skills combined with communicative strategies. At intermediate and advanced levels courses start by a placement test, then a short period of systematizing students’ grammatical and lexical knowledge. After that the courses will help students to gain self confidence when using their Hungarian, to extend their active vocabulary and to help them manage their life and studies in an authentic Hungarian setting.

Our experienced and enthusiastic teachers use the most up-to-date methods of guided discovery and self-discovery, students are exposed to everyday situations in Hungarian in a challenging way. Besides establishing patterns for sentence structure, students will be able to assimilate pronunciation, intonation and vocabulary by actively participating in the lesson and by listening to the recorded materials, watching DVDs, working with interactive materials on computer and taking part in creative group activities.

The Hungarian language lessons are combined with lectures on Hungarian history, music, folk and fine arts, gastronomy as well as on the country's special position in Central Europe with the teaching aim to survey the periods of Hungarian history, focusing on the most important events and personalities as well as the European aspects, 20^th century etc. The museum visits and field trips connected to the lectures assist in putting the theory into practice. The capital city, the atmosphere of an exciting European metropolis and the countryside provide a variety of enriching cultural experiences.

Students can apply for the Balassi Summer University program through the Hungarian Scholarship Board (www.scholarship.hu), or they can enroll and pay for the course themselves. Heritage students from overseas can apply for the Balassi Summer University scholarship directly, for more information on this, please contact Bernadett Budavári (Department of Hungarian Language, Balassi Institute -  This email address is being protected from spambots.
