Arab Heritage Students
An Intensive Summer Program in Arabic Language and Culture
at the American University in Cairo
June  3  to  July  24, 2003

The Arabic Language Institute at the American University in Cairo  
announces
its Intensive Summer Program, welcoming learners of Arab origin.  This
program caters to those interested in enhancing their Arabic language
proficiency while reconnecting with their heritage and culture.  Oral  
and
written placement tests allow for homogeneous groups, and small classes
permit individual attention.  Located in Cairo, Egypt, center of the  
Arab
world, the institute’s professional faculty, up-to-date facilities, and
extra curricular activities make the  different cultures and heritage  
of the
entire area more accessible.

This 6 week program runs from Tuesday, June 3  until Thursday, July 24,
2003.  Participants in this summer program are full-time students,  
required
to take 20 hours of class per week, for which they earn 8 program  
credits.
The curriculum allows students to study both Modern Standard Arabic  
(MSA)
and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA) simultaneously or to concentrate  
on one
or the other.  Many electives are also offered, including Media, Qur’an,
Colloquial conversation,  Literature, Translation, Writing and Grammar,  
each
earning 1 program credit.

While becoming more proficient in Arabic, meeting and interacting with
Egyptians, students will also be exposed to fascinating art,  
architecture,
folklore, history and Arab culture.

Facilities: Computer lab, language lab, university library, study  
center for
learners who need extra help, individualized tutoring.
Activities: Tours and trips, lectures and films on a variety of  
contemporary
topics,  folkdance, singing, music, and calligraphy.
