Summer Intensive Arabic Program
in Zarqa, Jordan at
The Hashemite University

6 weeks in Jordan
July 03 – August 11 2005

The Hashemite University is on the outskirts of the city of Zarqa, the  
second largest city after the capital city Amman, with a population of  
about 1.000.000 inhabitants.  Zarqa is located in the north of Jordan  
about 20 miles (25 km) north east of Amman.   With its unique location  
and small size compared to other over-crowded cities in the region, the  
city of Zarqa is a great choice for an Arabic study abroad program. The  
program will begin on Sunday, July 3, 2005. Students must arrive in  
Zarqa on July 2nd.

The Summer Arabic program at the Hashemite University (HU) is part of  
an exchange agreement between The University of Oklahoma (OU) and The  
Hashemite University a (HU) nd is open for non-OU students as well.   
The program provides:

- Intensive Arabic language instruction of 150 hours: 125 of Modern  
Standard Arabic and 25 hours in survival colloquial Jordanian.

- Small classrooms with individual attention (maximum of 12 students in  
each class) to develop their Arabic language skills at the Intermediate  
and advanced levels and beyond.  The Summer 2005 program will be  
limited to instruction at the Intermediate (equivalent to 2nd year  
Arabic at OU) and advanced (equivalent to 3rd  year Arabic at OU)  
levels.

- Basic orientation on the country and culture upon arrival

- At least three field trips to historical sites & cultural programs
