Tangier Summer Advanced Arabic Language Program
June 14 through Aug 8

The American Institute for Maghrib Studies is offering a special  
language
and cultural studies program for advanced students (third and fourth  
year)
based in Tangier, Morocco. Coordinated by experienced bilingual American
faculty and taught by specially trained Moroccan professors, this
intensive program comprises eight weeks of language study, with a break
for independent activities. Students will be placed in one of two tracks
of Modern Standard Arabic: third year curriculum based on the second  
half
of Al-Kitaab book II and fourth year based on Al-Kitaab book III.
Placement depends on transcripts, a telephone interview and  
performance on
a placement test. Completion of at least two years of Modern Standard
Arabic is required prior to application. Basic training in the
fundamentals of the Moroccan Colloquial Arabic dialect will also be
offered. Students are welcome from all disciplines.

The program's primary aim is to develop sound conversational and reading
skills in Modern Standard Arabic. At the same time, all students will be
in a position to better experience the full range of Moroccan
cultural-life as the program is housed in the heart of Tangier,  
Morocco at
the American School of Tangier (AST). Area interest in Morocco or North
Africa is not required. Students live together in the AST dormitory. The
facilities at AST include large, well-lit rooms, a soccer field,  
swimming
pool, and excellent food by one of the best cooks in Tangier.

There are also special lectures and programs in Arabic and in English
dealing with various aspects of North African history, culture, and
society. Students have also attended concerts, receptions, parties,
weddings, and Sufi ceremonies. Mini-classes focusing on various  
aspects of
the culture and society are taught in Arabic.

Eight college credits can be earned in Modern Standard Arabic by
successful completion of the program. This equates to 120 instruction
hours. Credit is through the University of Arizona and credit  
registration
is voluntary.

Students planning to do research will find the American Legation  
Museum in
Tangier a priceless resource. An extensive library is available to AIMS
student members, and the American director and the Moroccan staff are
helpful and supportive.  AIMS membership is provided for one year for
selected participants. There will be no time to conduct research during
the program, however students are encouraged to utilize research
opportunities before or after the program or in future visits.
