Tressy,
   I know that The School for International Training has a new 7-week  
Arabic summer study program in Jordan for June/July 2008. The theme  
of the program is Intensive Arabic Language Studies.
   You can check this at www.worldlearning.org

Dear Tressy,
You may want to advice your student to look at either Yarmouk  
University program
or Qasid program.
Best,
Nasser

Greetings.

Re summertime MSA courses in Jordan

In conjunction with the University of Virginia in Charlottesville,  
Yarmouk University offers a special summertime MSA course for  
undergraduate-level foreign students. That program has been in  
operation for several years. You might contact Professor Mohammed  
Sawaie at U. Va. for details. I doubt that other universities  
elsewhere in Jordan are staffed or organized for such specialized MSA  
summertime courses.

Re summertime MSA courses offered elsewhere

May I mention that unless there is a compelling attraction for study  
in Jordan, your student -- and assuming your student already has  
developed a fairly-strong foundation in MSA -- might also consider a  
six-/eight-week program in MSA/Gulf Arabic (Emirati dialect) offered  
in the summertime / early fall (the schedule seems variable per the  
calendar of the academic year) offered by the Arabic Language Program  
in the University General Requirements Unit (UGRU) of UAE University  
located in the interior city of Al-Ain, Abu Dhabi. Male and female  
students attend classes in the same classroom together. That is an  
excellent and rigorous multidisclipinary program, designed for those  
aspiring to be linguists or other "language-using" professionals.  
Accordingly, an applying foreign student MUST have a basic "working  
grasp" foundation in MSA, as UGRU administers a required diagnostic  
test battery called "Zayed" and an oral proficiency interview panel  
when the student starts in-processing on the first day. It's
a prime course for junior/senior-year undergrads or graduate  
students, but beyond the abilities and backgrounds of lower-level  
undergrad students.

Hope this helps.

Khair, in shaa' Allah.
