Subject:Zarqa Jordan Program Deadline Extension

The Summer Intensive Arabic Program in Zarqa, Jordan, at The  
Hashemite University has extended its deadline for Summer 2006 and is  
aceepting new applications until June 25th.

6 weeks in Jordan

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, July  
3, 2005. Students must arrive in Zarqa on July 2nd.

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 2006 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
