APA Rabat: Intensive Arabic
Program Overview
Dramatically improve your Arabic language skills with APA's intensive immersion program. With six weeks of study in Rabat, Morocco, students will learn the local dialect and dramatically increase fluency in Modern Standard Arabic while studying the literature and culture of North Africa. All students follow two courses, taught in Arabic: - Modern Standard Arabic language (intermediate or advanced) Choice of elective: - Media Arabic - Arabic Literature - Advanced Moroccan Dialect All courses are four credit hours each. One-on-one weekly support sessions with an Arabic instructor accompany the language course to focus on each student's oral and written expression and comprehension. A weekly lesson in Darija (Moroccan dialect of Arabic) bridges the differences between the two tongues. Key site visits and cultural events are included along with homestay housing with full board. Students can prolong their stay in Rabat by two weeks to volunteer with a local NGO.
