ARABIC SCHOOL - MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
SUMMER 2001
June 8 - August 10, 2001
The Arabic School at Middlebury College is now accepting applications for
the summer session of 2001. The nine-week program extends from June 8 -
August 10. Students are placed in various levels based on oral and written
placement tests in addition to transcripts and recommendation letters.
Tuition and fees, which include room and board, are $6,340. Financial aid
is on first come first served basis and is allocated according to financial
need.
The School offers elementary, high elementary, intermediate, high
intermediate and advanced courses in the nine-week session. The curriculum
emphasizes reading, speaking, writing, listening and culture, all of which
are practiced naturally in and out of class. Students must sign a language
pledge that they will use Arabic exclusively as the language of
communication throughout the summer. Thanks to the language pledge, the
total immersion approach, and the diversity of curricular and co-curricular
activities, students not only learn Arabic, they live Arabic. The lively
variety of activities and lectures, cultural and social events, Arab
dinners and field trips, frequent screening of Arabic films, clubs devoted
to Arab cooking, dance, music, poetry, calligraphy, and live Arabic
television broadcasts provide experience in all facets of Arabic language
and culture.
The School is making ever-greater use of technology for learning. All
students have access to Arabic software and Internet services all over
campus. Reading and listening materials are all authentic. The School has
its own language lab. Students have access to the textbook audio and video
segments in digitized sound and picture available on line. The School
subscribe to a variety of daily and weekly Arabic newspapers and magazines,
which are made available to students, in addition to an extensive
collection of Arabic music tapes, CDs and films from many parts of the Arab
