Students are encouraged to take courses in both sessions, but with
permission from the director may take one session.

The Columbia Arabic Summer Program (CASP) offers intensive instruction
in the Arabic language through texts, multimedia materials, and
activities designed to situate the language in the context of cultures
in which it is spoken.

The language of instruction is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).

Experienced instructors use a communicative approach that emphasizes
listening, reading, speaking, writing and culture. Activities designed
to teach all skills spring from real situations and current events.
Classes are held in technologically advanced smart and electronic
classrooms.

The program also includes:

     * Daily free tutoring provided by an experienced tutor
     * Readings of Arabic short stories, poetry, and current newspaper
articles for Third Year classes.
     * Live television and radio broadcasts from the Middle East,
movies, music, the Internet, video clips, and access to interactive
instructional facilities
     * Trips to acquaint students with the magnificent Middle Eastern
heritage on display in museums and libraries of New York City. Visits
to Middle Eastern neighborhoods and restaurants, and lessons in Middle
Eastern cuisine

Students in the Columbia Arabic Summer Program follow the Summer Term
application and registration procedures.
