Arab Heritage Students
An Intensive Summer Program in Arabic Language and Culture
at the American University in Cairo
June  3  to  July  24, 2003
-----------------

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 3  until Thursday, July 24,
2003.  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.
