Georgetown University Announces
CAPA:

The first full-time intensive Arabic program in the academic year

Georgetown University is pleased to announce the opening of the Center
for Advanced Proficiency in Arabic (CAPA).  CAPA is supported by the
National Security Education Program’s (NSEP) National Flagship Language
Initiative.  CAPA is the first intensive Arabic language program to be
offered for a full academic year and in the US.
Other special features of the CAPA program include:
● intensive advanced level instruction (3 - 5 hours per day) in the
academic year
● focus on both spoken and written Arabic
● frequent testing and diagnostic feedback
● high teacher-to-student ratio
● individual attention and customized instruction
● special course modules to meet students’ academic interests and/or
professional needs
● summer internships in Arabic-only professional environments.
CAPA invites applications for the fall of 2005.  The program is open to
graduate students, undergraduates, working professionals, and
government employees.  Students who plan to study in the
Arabic-speaking world in 2006 are especially welcome to apply.
The application includes an Arabic proficiency screening test.  Those
eligible are currently at the ILR 1+ or 2 level (ACTFL intermediate
high or advanced).  The goal of CAPA is to raise their Arabic skills to
the ILR 3 or 3+ (ACTFL superior level).
CAPA is located at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.  Its
location gives student access to the outstanding resources of
Georgetown University.  Students will also take full advantage of the
many professional, governmental, and cultural activities, events, and
organizations of the area.
Qualified students may be eligible for federal funding in the form of
tuition scholarships and stipends.  This funding is for students who
are highly committed to work for the federal government.  Other funding
may also be available through CAPA. For more information and for
application forms, contact CAPA.
