The Center for Arab and Middle East Studies at the American University
of Beirut, Lebanon announces a Summer Program in the Arabic language
June 5-July 14, 2000. The program features three courses: Introductory
Arabic, Intermediate Arabic, and Colloquial Arabic.  All courses provide
a total immersion format combining intensive classroom instruction in
Arabic with field trips, caf=E9 sessions, Arabic speaking clubs, and
visits to markets, art galleries and theaters. The program also features
an excellent language laboratory and individualized tutoring sessions.
Both the beginning and the intermediate classes meet for twenty hours
per week for the six-week duration of the course. Each course is the
equivalent to one year (two semesters/8 credit hours/120 contact hours)
of language study at US universities. The course in Colloquial Arabic
meets for 2.5 hours per week throughout the six-week period and is the
equivalent of a one credit course (15 contact hours in the US).
The Al-Kitab series will be used as the main textbooks of instruction
for both the beginning and intermediate courses.
The total fees for the program are $3,200 and  include tuition, housing
(student dormitories), health insurance, Internet access, and usage of
the university sports facilities. Fees also cover cultural trips around
the city. Fees do not include air travel.
Individuals interested in the Summer Arabic Program should apply by
April 30th for the following summer. Applicants should include an
academic or professional letter of reference with their application. For
