Summer 2012 Opportunity for Students:

Summer Intensive Language Program at
AFKAR Academy in Jordan

The National Council, in collaboration with AFKAR Academy, is pleased
to announce a 2012 Summer Intensive Arabic Program to be held at
Yarmouk University, Jordan, from June 10 to July 19, 2012. Students
will spend six weeks in the historic city of Irbid taking part in
intensive Arabic language study.

The program offers 16 in-class contact hours of Arabic language
instruction per week for six weeks, as well as 10 hours weekly with
language partners in small groups to practice learned material and
learn survival Jordanian Arabic. This program is ideal for students
seeking to further their proficiency in Arabic language and exposure
to Arab culture. Students enrolling in this program should be able to
obtain the equivalent of 6 college level credit hours in Arabic.

Students who have finished one year of Arabic study or more are
especially encouraged to apply. While the Program accepts applications
from students with no prior knowledge of Arabic, priority will be
given to students who have previous exposure to Arabic language and
culture.
