Dear ARABIC-L Members:

Oregon State University has a Study Abroad Program in Tunis. It is  
open to all qualifying students. We’ve had participants from various  
US colleges and universities around the country, in addition to  
participants from several Oregon universities. This 10-week is based  
at the flagship language university college ISLT [Institut Supérieur  
des Langues de Tunis]. This program isconducted by Oregon State in the  
context of a long-term Memorandum of Understanding signed with one of  
the largest public universities in Tunisia – Université du 7 Novembre  
àCarthage.
For 2009, program dates are: Sept 10 – Nov 19

Application Deadline: February 15, 2009

Application Form: http://oregonstate.edu/international/studyabroad/checklist/tunisia

Although you students would focus on Arabic immersion, the program  
offers French as well. Participants earn 12 quarter credits (or 8  
semester credits) at the next level up from their starting level. They  
also choose from three electives focusing on North African topics and  
writers (Literature, Environment, Culture), as well as individual  
research projects (on Tunisian andNorth African topics) in their  
majors, as needed.

Candidates with a higher background in language can be integrated with  
local students in some of the many language and literature courses  
offered at ISLT.
