Subject:Also wants Syria info

Ditto on that--I'm trying to find out information on
summer 2008 study in Damascus with homestay, but all
the e-mail contacts I'm given seem to be out of date,
since I'm getting no responses.  Ideas?  Newer
contacts?

Any help would be appreciated.

Check with Prof. Mahdi Al-Osh at the United States Military Academy at  
West
Point he might have some information on studying abroad in Syria. One  
of my
students went there while he was studying at AUB four summers ago and  
loved
it, so he went back.

Jessica,

There are two major programs that I know of as reliable:

One is through the French Institute of Arabic Studies ( it is part of  
the French Cultural Center, you may find further info on the French  
Embassy in Damascus web site). It is the oldest and most prominent. To  
my knowledge,  they teach Classical and MSA.

Two, is the Arabic Program at the University of Damascus (They teach  
MSA). Check the Syrian Embassy in the US website, or contact them for  
further info.

Also, I know that there is a good program in the city of Aleppo, but I  
do not know through which institution.

Best wishes,
Nimat
