Subject:Heritage Students


The Arabic Language Intensive Program (ALIN) and the Arabic Language Courses (ALNG) deal  with heritage students in independent courses and not with learners of Arabic as a foreign language.
 
After teaching them the alphabet, heritage students are given special material basically media articles and short stories as basic texts out of which grammar and structure are introduced in order to work on their writing skills.  Heritage students have different challenges, their comprehension skill is high but their writing skill usually needs more attention.
 
In the ALIN program, such students towards the end of one semester become ready to join the regular intermediate/high intermediate classes.  In ALNG they are grouped in different levels and are given special syllabus different than that of non native speakers.
