Dear Colleagues,

We would very much appreciate your letting your students know about this
opportunity for intensive Arabic summer study.

The University of Michigan invites you to participate in its 2014 Arabic
Summer Language Institute in the relatively cool and pleasant Michigan
summer weather in lovely Ann Arbor. This summer we are offering 1st, 2nd
and 3rd year Arabic classes. The application deadline is March 31st but may
be extended if space is still available after that date.

Summer Language Institute courses are offered either for a Program Fee of
only $2800 (8 credit class) or $3000 (10 credit class) or for tuition.
Students who choose the Program Fee Option do not receive transferrable
credit. Instead, they receive a Certificate of Attendance upon successful
completion of the course. All classes are FLAS funding eligible.

Summer Language Institute Classes:

1.       Elementary Arabic (AAPTIS 103): 10 weeks: June 3rd to August 14th
(10 credits if taken for credit)

The class is designed to take students from zero proficiency to an
Intermediate Low level of proficiency in all language skills. The class is
a dual register class in which students will learn to communicate with and
understand elements of the Egyptian dialect as they also learn to
understand, read and write fuSHa. The class will use the 3rd edition of the
alKitaab fi ta3allum al3arabiyya series and will cover roughly through
lesson 11 of part 1 of that series. The class meets for 4 hours per day for
5 days per week and students will have an additional 6-8 hours of homework
each day. The class will have an instructor/student ratio of 1 to 10 or
less.

2.       Intermediate Arabic (AAPTIS 205): 10 weeks: June 3rd to August
14th (10 credits if taken for credit)

The class is designed to take students from an Intermediate Low to an
Intermediate High level of proficiency in all language skills. The class is
a dual register class in which students will learn to communicate with and
understand elements of the Levantine dialect as they also learn to
understand, read and write fuSHa. The needs of students with no prior
exposure to an Arabic dialect can and will be accommodated. The class will
use the 3rd edition of the alKitaab fi ta3allum al3arabiyya series and will
begin in lesson 12 of part 1 of that series and finish through lesson 8 of
part 2. The class meets for 4 hours per day for 5 days per week and
students will have an additional 6-8 hours of homework each day. The class
will have an instructor/student ratio of 1 to 10 or less.

3.       Advanced Arabic (AAPTIS  403 and 404): Four weeks each from June
26th to July 18th and July 21st to August 12th, respectively.  (8 credits
if taken for credit)

The class is designed to take students from an Intermediate High to an
Advanced Low/Mid level of proficiency in all language skills.  The class
will use part 2 of the 2nd edition of the alKitaab fi ta3allum al3arabiyya
series and will cover lessons 3 - 9 of that series. The class meets for 4
hours per day for 5 days per week and students will have an additional 6-8
hours of homework each day. The class will have an instructor/student ratio
of 1 to 10 or less.

We strive to create an immersion Arabic only environment for the institute
and the curriculum includes a conversation partner component for which
students meet with and converse with native speakers of Arabic on a regular
basis.
