2005 Summer Intensive Arabic Program
Brigham Young University

The Center for Language Studies at Brigham Young University (BYU) will
offer first- and second-year intensive Arabic during its Summer Term
(June 20 - August 11, 2005). At BYU, we take an innovative approach to
learning Arabic: students are exposed to Arabic as it is actually used
in the Arab world. From the first day of class (101), students begin
learning to speak Egyptian Arabic (the most widely understood Arabic
dialect and one closely related to neighboring dialects such as urban
Palestinian). Classes are highly interactive. One-on-one conversations
with an Arab tutor, film evenings, soccer games, cooking lessons... are
also an integral part of the experience. Students are encouraged to
room with Arab BYU students. The focus of the second-year course is on
Modern Standard Arabic; however, students will be exposed to Egyptian
and Levantine Arabic in and outside of the classroom. Students
enrolling in the second-year course should have completed lesson 15 in
Al-Kitaab, vol. 1 (or the equivalent).

There is currently no financial aid available for non-BYU students,
however, the low cost of BYU tuition makes this program a particularly
good buy. For information on the program (including registration and
costs) see:

If you are interested in our summer Arabic program but are not familiar
with Brigham Young University, you should take time to familiarize
yourself with this unique institution, which is sponsored by the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One need not be a member to
attend BYU, but all students are expected to live according to the BYU
Honor Code. The Honor Code and other information about BYU can be found
