Arab Heritage Students
Intensive Summer Program
in Arabic Language and Culture
at the American University in Cairo

-----------------

The Arabic Language Institute at the American University in Cairo
announces its Intensive Summer Program, welcoming learners of Arab
origin.  This program caters to those interested in enhancing their Arabic
language proficiency while reconnecting with their heritage and culture.
Oral and written placement tests allow for homogeneous groups, and
small classes permit individual attention.  Located in Cairo, Egypt, center
of the Arab world, the institute's professional faculty, up-to-date
facilities, and extra curricular activities make the  different cultures and
heritage of the entire area more accessible.

This 6 week program runs from Tuesday, June 4  until Thursday, July 25,
2002.  Participants in this summer program are full-time students,
required to take 20 hours of class per week, for which they earn 8
program credits.  The curriculum allows students to study both Modern
Standard Arabic (MSA) and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA)
simultaneously or to concentrate on one or the other.  Many electives are
also offered, including Media, Qur'an, Colloquial conversation,
Literature, Translation, Writing and Grammar, each earning 1 program
credit.

While becoming more proficient in Arabic, meeting and interacting with
Egyptians, students will also be exposed to fascinating art, architecture,
folklore, history and Arab culture.

Facilities: Computer lab, language lab, university library, study center for
learners who need extra help, individualized tutoring.
Activities: Tours and trips, lectures and films on a variety of
contemporary topics,  folkdance, singing, music, and calligraphy.
