our Summer Immersion Program

Aldeen Foundation and STARTALK are proud to announce “Discover Arabic”  
the first Middle and High School Summer Immersion Program.

This program will provide students with an introduction to Modern  
Standard Arabic and Arab culture. It is designed for students who have  
never studied Arabic before, or students who have some knowledge of  
Arabic.

The teaching and learning emphasize the functional use of Arabic and  
communication. Student will acquire enough familiarity with the Arabic  
language and develop cultural sensitivity towards the Arabic-speaking  
world, from immersed daily activities and enriched language groups  
including art, calligraphy, cooking, dance and music, outing to local  
Arabic restaurants and shops, guest speakers and subtitled movies.

Attached is a flyer that you can hand out to all your students who are  
interested in beginning a fascinating new journey to the Arab world  
and culture without traveling abroad.

Thank you in advance for distributing the enclosed flyer and  
encouraging the students to sign up for world language learning…
