Subject:AMIDEAST Education Abroad Programs in Arab World

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to tell you about AMIDEAST’s new Education Abroad  
Programs in the Arab World.  The programs were inaugurated last fall  
with a semester program inRabat, Morocco.  Over the past year we have  
been revamping that program, making it into a semester or academic  
year program, depending on the interests of the students.  We also  
will inaugurate a summer intensive Arabic program in Rabat this coming  
May.

In addition, we have also been planning for new semester/academic year  
programs that will begin next fall in Cairo, Amman, and Kuwait, and a  
service learning program for students who have completed one year of  
Modern Standard Arabic in Tunisia this coming summer.

For more information on all of our programs and to read about our  
commitment to Arabic language instruction, our Arabic Language  
Advisory Board and our Academic Consortium, please visit our website at:

http://www.amideast.org/abroad

Most of you will recognize the eight members of our Arabic Language  
Advisory Board as being among the leading members of the Arabic  
language teaching profession in the U.S.  Many may also recognize our  
Arabic Studies Consultant, Dr. Driss Ouaouicha (formerly Vice  
President for Academic Affairs at Al Akhawayn University inMorocco),  
who is spearheading development and implementation of our Arabic  
language curriculum with the advice and assistance of the Advisory  
Board.

We have posters (letter sized) as well as brochures and fliers about  
our programs and will be happy to send them to you if you let me know  
how many you want and the address where we should send them.

During the MESA conference in November we will have a booth in the  
book exhibits and I invite you to stop by to talk with me, Driss and  
representatives of our local partners in Rabat, Cairo, Amman, Kuwait  
and Tunisia.  We also will be holding information sessions twice  
during the conference.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me.  I’ll  
respond as quickly as I can.

Best regards,

Jerry Bookin-Weiner
