The Language Institute offers students the opportunity to acquire or
master skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in Arabic
and Persian. Language instruction is proficiency-oriented and imparts
cultural experiences and knowledge. The materials used are broad-based
and help students develop skills for communication. Students learn how
to accomplish language tasks in formal and informal situations.
Assessments reflect the model of an educated native speaker as well as
proficiency (American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Language:
ACTFL) guidelines.

Classes are small and students benefit from individual attention
inside and outside the classroom. Experienced, dedicated, and diverse
faculty use current techniques and incorporate technology-based
instruction. The summer program provides real-time and on demand

learning technology. The Language Institute offers its students a
