Subject:Michigan State Arabic

We would like to share an exciting new Arabic language program for
undergraduate students at Michigan State University.

In 2007, Michigan State University was awarded a language flagship grant
from the National Security Education Program (NSEP) to establish a K-16
Arabic language program in partnership with Dearborn Public Schools. The
program goal is to develop a group of highly proficient Arabic  
speakers who
can function professionally in the Arabic language, as part of an  
increasing
recognition that our nation needs more citizens who speak the Arabic
language and understand the culture.

Undergraduate students are selected for our program based on their  
academic
potential, demonstrated interest in advancing their Arabic skills, and
desire to share their understanding of this language and culture  
within the
larger community. In addition to their disciplinary studies, students
participate in advanced-level Arabic studies, including content-based
classes delivered in Arabic, advanced Arabic language classes, and study
abroad.

Our program website is available at http:// 
www.arabicflagship.msu.edu/.  If
you or any students, teachers, or administrators who you know would like
more information, please contact me at hassanw at msu.edu. Thank you!
