Instruction is offered at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, and includes Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) grammar, media literacy, skills (reading, writing, listening), conversation (MSA and Omani dialect), and utilizes peer facilitators (Omani language partners). The program includes 6 hours of classes 5 days a week, with class sizes typically between 5 and 8 students.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">

<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">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.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">

CIL offers students the chance of a lifetime--the kind of understanding that yields lasting friendship, tolerance and mutual respect.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">

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.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">

Arabic instruction at CIL covers media literacy, comprehension, and active use of lughat-al-muthaqqafeen ("educated speech"), as used on Al Jazeera.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">
