Subject:U of Virginian Yarmouk U Summer Arabic Program


 The University of Virginia-Yarmouk University Summer Arabic Program has
been in operation since 1984. It is an intensive, eight-week Program in
Modern Standard Arabic, designed for undergraduate and graduate students
currently pursuing a university degree. The Program focuses on all language
skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In addition to Modern
Standard Arabic, all students will take a course in the Jordanian dialect.
All courses will be taught in Arabic. Instructors are members of the
Yarmouk University faculty. Three levels of skill-based instruction are
provided.

 Highlights of the Program:
 *     Intensive summer study of the Arabic Language at Yarmouk University,
Irbid, Jordan.
 *     Immersion in Arab Culture, and first-hand experience of the Middle
East through travel in the region.
 *     Three levels of language instruction equivalent to Second, Third,
and Fourth year Arabic at the University of Virginia.
 *     Academic credit is transferable to your home institution from
Yarmouk University.

 UVA in Jordan has a limited number of USDE Fulbright-Hays fellowships for
qualified students who have completed two or more years of college-level
Arabic. The fellowships are competitive and information from the students'
program application will be used to decide fellowship awards.

 Cost is $4,995 for Virginia residents and $5,579 for non-Virginia
residents.  This includes: international airfare (JFK-Amman-JFK),
accommodations in Yarmouk University housing facility, tuition, entry fees
to archeological sites, and two educational trips within Jordan. Fees do
NOT include textbooks, meals, health/accident insurance, international
student ID card, incidentals, or transportation between the student's home
and Kennedy Airport.
