Columbia University Arabic Summer Program

Two six-week sessions: May 22-June 30 and July 5-August 11

Elementary Arabic, Sessions I and II

Intermediate Arabic, Sessions I and II

Advanced Arabic, Session I

Program Director: Dr. George El-Hage
Resident Directors: Dr. Taoufik Ben-Amor, Dr. Jeffrey Sacks

Columbia University's Summer Session offers intensive instruction in
the Arabic language through multimedia materials and activities
designed to situate the language in the context of cultures in
which it is spoken.  The program includes:

- Readings of Arabic short stories, poetry, and current newspaper
articles

- Live television and radio broadcasts from the Middle East, movies,
tape recordings, the Internet, video clips, and access to
interactive instructional facilities

- Trips to acquaint students with the magnificent Middle Eastern
heritage on display in museums and libraries of New York City.
Visits to Middle Eastern neighborhoods and restaurants, and lessons
in Middle Eastern cookery

The language of instruction is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), but
students also have opportunities to hear and speak various
colloquial Arabic dialects.  Experienced instructors use a
communicative approach that emphasizes listening and reading along
with speaking and writing.  Activities designed to teach listening
and speaking spring from real situations and current events.

Program fee: $2,700 per language course per session.
