The Center for European Studies (CES) at the University of Florida holds annual competitions for Foreign Languages Across the Curriculum (FLAC) Course Development Grants, open to UF faculty and eligible UF graduate students, in the following European languages (Czech, French, German, Greek (modern), Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish)New FLAC units funded by the CES will be integrated into the “FLAC at Florida” program.

One of the main goals of this program is to integrate the study of European topics with the practice of European languages. “FLAC at Florida” offers one-credit enhancement or “applied language” sections in various languages to accompany selected content courses in a number of departments including (but not limited to), Anthropology, Business, Cinema, Economics, History, Law, Political Science and Sociology.

Each FLAC unit is funded at a flat fee of $5,000. If the FLAC is developed and taught by a graduate student the student may receive $3,000 during the summer prior to teaching for development and the remaining $2,000 during the semester in which the FLAC is actually taught or the full amount during the semester the FLAC is taught. If the FLAC is developed and taught by a full time faculty member the FLAC is taught as an overload and the full $5,000 is paid as a lump sum the following summer.The next FLAC competition will be announced in Spring 2009.
