SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY

Intensive Arabic Language Program
at the


in Muscat, Oman

The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations is pleased to offer students a
scholarship opportunity for intensive Arabic language study at the Center
for International Learning (CIL) in Muscat, Oman.

Program Details:

CIL invites you to learn and grow through study in the Sultanate of Oman,
an Italy-sized nation on the Arabian Sea. For years students have found
this an ideal setting for their international study, a nation of warm and
welcoming people who practice a form of Islam - Ibadhism - that practices
tolerance and acceptance of others. CIL provides students with the learning
experiences needed to become world citizens.

Comprised of Americans and Omanis with PhD and Masters Degrees, the CIL
faculty facilitates experiential education, cultural exchange, and
comparative studies to deepen understanding, promote common interests, and
explore the shared aspirations of people from different cultures. CIL
offers students the chance of a lifetime--the kind of understanding that
yields lasting friendship, tolerance and mutual respect.

CIL offers all three levels of Modern Standard Arabic (beginner,
intermediate, and advanced), as well as Omani dialect, media Arabic, and
skills classes. Arabic is one of the fastest growing languages learned by
students in the U.S. Known for its fascinating complexity, it is a language
of literature, poetry and elegant calligraphy. Arabic also is a language
that encompasses deep and abiding cultural traditions, making its study a
rich and rewarding learning experience.

CIL utilizes Al Kitaab fii Taalum Al-Arabiya, Part 1 and 2, as well as
other materials developed by the teaching faculty. Arabic instruction at
CIL covers media literacy, comprehension, and active use of
lughat-al-muthaqqafeen ("educated speech"), as used on Al Jazeera.

All of CIL's Arabic language classes are taught by native Omani instructors
trained in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL). Students also can
elect to enhance language learning through informal sessions with an
individual Omani Language Partner (i.e., chatting, shopping at the souk,
cooking, going to movies and other local events, such as village weddings).

Scholarship Availability:

The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations is pleased to offer students a
scholarship opportunity for intensive Arabic language study at the Center
for International Learning in Muscat, Oman. A limited number of
scholarships are available for a semester or summer term, and thus, can be
