Subject:Hashemite U. Summer Arabic Program

Summer Intensive Arabic Program
in Zarqa, Jordan at
The Hashemite University

6 weeks in Jordan
May 20 – June 29, 2007

The Hashemite University is on the outskirts of the city of Zarqa,  
the second largest city after the capital city Amman, with a  
population of  about 1.000.000 inhabitants.  Zarqa is located in the  
north of  Jordan about 20 miles (25 km) north east of Amman.   With  
its unique location and small size compared to other over-crowded  
cities in the region, the city of Zarqa is a great choice for an  
Arabic study abroad program. The program will begin on Sunday, May  
20, 2007. Students must arrive in Amman/Zarqa on May 29th.

The Summer Arabic program at the Hashemite University (HU) is part  
of  an exchange agreement between The University of Oklahoma (OU) and  
The Hashemite University a (HU) and is open to non-OU students as  
well.  The program provides:

- Intensive Arabic language instruction of 150 hours: 125 of  Modern  
Standard Arabic and 25 hours in survival colloquial Jordanian.

- Small classrooms with individual attention (maximum of 12 students  
in each class) to develop their Arabic language skills at the  
Intermediate and advanced levels and beyond.  The Summer 2007 program  
will be  limited to instruction at the Intermediate (equivalent to  
2nd year Arabic at OU) and advanced (equivalent to 3rd  year Arabic  
at OU) levels.

- Basic orientation on the country and culture upon arrival

- At least three field trips to historical sites & cultural programs  
arranged by HU

- Off-campus housing in Amman, arranged by HU
