A two-week course is organized in two terms, July 18th-Aug 1st 2010, and Aug 1st-Aug 14th 2010. The stay can be extended to as long as three weeks maximum in the first term, or one week in the second. The price of the stay is calculated in proportion to the extension.

Students can either start one of the programmes or, in arrangement with the coordinator, modify the existing schedule. Students who wish to take an intensive course of language have the possibility to add one, two or three classes of one-to-one teaching or group work in the afternoon, to the existing schedule.
Each student applies for one language level.
Also, all residents of Banja Luka and BiH who are interested in our programs can attend some of them. The Summer School is open to everyone, regardless of age, occupation, origin, religion or citizenship.

Didactic assets
We use modern didactic assets. A basic book, Serbian language for foreigners, written by Prof. Bozo Coric, Ph.D. and Zorica Nikitovic, MA, covers two linguistic levels. For other levels there are various textbooks with a wide selection of texts in ijekavica. We also use modern visual-aid equipment.
