Arabic High School Program

Host Institution: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Website:
https://linguistics.illinois.edu/languages/summer-institutes/arabic-high-school-program

Dates: 15-Jun-2025 - 28-Jun-2025
Location: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA

Minimum Education Level: High School

Focus: The Summer Institute for the Languages of the Muslim World
offers an introductory course in Modern Standard Arabic for high
school students with limited or no prior knowledge of the language.
The purpose of this Summer Arabic language Program is to familiarize
students with Arabic writing and sound systems and to enable them to
develop basic proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and
writing.
Participating high school students will take intensive beginning
Arabic classes with University of Illinois students.  Pre-College
program staff, which includes University Faculty, Program
Coordinators, and Resident Assistants, will directly supervise the
high school students and provide academic support.
The program’s goal is to create a rich learning environment and
simulate immersion by making the target language the primary medium of
instruction and daily activities. Students will have four hours of
daily classroom instruction where they will practice and produce the
alphabet and the sound system, and begin to develop vocabulary. They
will learn simple grammatical structures and gradually listen to
authentic and instructional materials that come with the textbook.

Description:

During these 2 weeks, students will learn foundational reading,
writing, and speaking skills in the Arabic language through four hours
of daily classroom instruction followed by co-curricular activities,
including conversation tables, research forum, film series, cooking
classes, calligraphy, Henna Tattoo, field trips, and more. During the
program, participants will meet college students, and local Arabic
community members, and live in a residence hall located on the UIUC
campus with Arabic-speaking support staff. All of these aspects of the
program will contribute to their knowledge of Arabic and familiarity
with the culture of the Arab world.
Students will earn 2 college credits as well as a sense of what to
expect after graduating high school.
