Study Abroad Application: Arabic Language and Culture in Jordan

Friday, March 20, 2015 5:00 PM EDT

During this intensive language program, classes meet for several hours a day, are taught by local faculty at MALIC, and explore a mix of modern spoken Arabic and the Jordanian dialect. Read an article about the program that recently appeared in the Mason News, or check out 99 fun things to do while in Jordan.

The distinct advantage to studying Arabic in Jordan on this program as opposed to a campus in the States is the language socialization component, where students will have an opportunity to put directly into practice in Amman what they have learned in the classroom. This could include visiting a local cafe, negotiating (in Arabic) for a thoub (traditional dress) at a local market, or hanging out with Jordanian students.
