Unfortunately, I do not know what courses our taught during the summer. We have many courses here that are taught only in Arabic at the upper level during the regular academic year, most dealing with literature. I am a (technically) a grad student, and these courses are sufficiently difficult for me. As a native speaker, I am not sure how difficult they would be. For one class I take now, I am expected to read one book/short story (I mean at least ~80-100 pages) and write a response (~2 pages double spaced, more if I feel adventurous). For another class the readings were much, much shorter, but exams required vowelling every single vowel and a decent translation of more than a dozen sentences. That should help you gauge.<br><br>In any event, send me a reply and I will forward this to some people in the department. I would refer to the Summer Arabic Language School here, but that will most obviously be beneath you.<br><br>Regards,<br>_AJS<br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">2)</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Date: 11 Feb 2008</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">From:<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.494118); "><b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; ">Hanada Taha-Thomure" <<a href="mailto:hanada@arabexpertise.com">hanada@arabexpertise.com</a>></span></b></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Subject:Summer Grad courses in US</div><div><br></div>Salam,<br><br>The Language Acquisition Resource Center (LARC) at the San Diego State<br>University offers a six-week summer intensive Distinguished Level Arabic<br>classes.
