Jordan: Intensive Arabic
This intensive field-based Arabic language immersion program uses a content-based approach. Based in Amman, students engage in an Arabic-only environment of classroom instruction, field exercises, and homestays to learn Arabic and Arab culture. The emphasis of the course is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), with additional instruction in Jordanian Colloquial Arabic as well. Students gain an understanding of Arabic diglossia and proper usage of MSA versus colloquial.
Students at an advanced proficiency level will have a Media Arabic component built into the curriculum. This component will focus on the acquisition of specialized vocabulary used in print and electronic media in the Arab world. Students will read, listen to, and analyze stories from local Jordanian press and other Arab media outlets.
