Maya

Maya is taught regularly at IU through the Center for Latin America & Caribbean Studies (CLACS). IU coursework includes Beginning (LTAM M-101 and M-102) and Intermediate (LTAM M-201 and M-202) levels. The Maya courses focus on communicative proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Our Maya courses provide an introduction to the cultural traditions and historical contexts of Maya society that allow students to enter into their unique linguistic world view and ways of understanding reality. Additonal resources are available here on CELT website.
