Arabic Program
Amideast Education Abroad language instruction follows an integrated approach to the study of Arabic. Our courses use the third edition of Al-Kitaab and locally produced materials, activating local dialects alongside Modern Standard Arabic. As darija is not included among dialects in Al-Kitaab, our Arabic Coordinator and faculty in Morocco developed a fully integrated darija curriculum and materials to accompany the series. Students in Jordan benefit from our partnership with the Sijal Institute for Arabic Language and Culture, which oversees our Arabic instruction in Amman. Students on any Amideast Education Abroad program benefit from the close collaboration across program locations among our Arabic instructors and coordinators and local and DC-based staff.
Arabic Advisory Board
Our programs benefit from the advice of a distinguished group of Arabic language faculty at U.S. colleges and universities.
The members of our Arabic Language Advisory Board are:
- Dr. Clarissa Burt, US Naval Academy
- Dr. Khaled Al Masaeed, Carnegie Mellon University
- Noha Forster, University of Chicago
- Dr. Ghazi Abuhakema, College of Charleston
