Study Abroad Programs in Armenia

Small, yet mighty, Armenia is a landlocked country whose scenery never fails to surprise foreign guests. Mountain passes, valleys, and canyons make a study in Armenia feel much larger than it really is, especially when basking on the shores of Lake Sevan’s seemingly endless waters. Armenia’s mountains and valleys serve as a picture-perfect metaphor for the rising and falling made apparent by the country’s turbulent history, while the fusion of strength and humility evident in an Armenian panorama makes it the perfect place to study abroad!

Yerevan: Russian Language Intensive

This 6-week intensive Russian language program is designed for students at the A2–B2 proficiency range (Intermediate Low through Advanced Mid). Study in Armenia’s culturally and historically rich capital, Yerevan, where Russian is widely spoken and there are opportunities to connect with both the deep traditions and dynamic contemporary life of the region. The program is structured to cover the equivalent of at least one academic semester of university-level study, with all courses providing proficiency-oriented instruction in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and with a particular emphasis on oral communication. It meets all FLAS requirements for this level. Participants will commit to using only Russian in classes, program activities, clubs, and interactions with peers, creating a full immersion environment. Instruction combines daily language classes with weekly lectures in Russian on topics ranging from art and history to politics and popular culture, as well as a weekly phonetics workshop designed to better master pronunciation and improve fluency.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Armenia

Best Places to Study in Armenia

Just over 3 million citizens call the fairytale-like setting of Armenia as home. It’s nestled in a gateway region between Asia and Europe, and so has seen influence by many different cultures from all over the world throughout its expansive history. So no matter what enchanting location you drop your jaw at, it will be a cultural immersion like none other.

Armenia’s sepia-toned architecture is softened by the greenery-filled gardens and parks in Yerevan–an unexpected delight where few traces of the country’s past remain. Antiquated teahouses sit arm-in-arm with modern wine bars and watch the passing of the many eclectic street fashions–ranging from hipster to babushka. In winter, freezing temperatures coax people into pandoks (taverns), where khoravats (BBQ meats), oghee (fruit vodka), and traditional music warm the soul.

Because Yerevan is the largest city by far, most students are limited to the metropolis when it comes to studying in Armenia. But for the trailblazers always looking to devise a plan to stray off the beaten path, have no fear. Armenia conceals much of its exotic nature in some of the more remote cities. Armenia's second-largest city, Gyumri, is working hard to reconstruct and fulfill its hidden potential as a more popular tourist destination. It has kicked-off its revitalization with a bustling market that slings local delicacies you might see Andrew Zimmern chowing down on.

Best and only Persian program

February 12, 2021by: Patrick Fox - United States

Program: Eurasian Regional Language Program (ERLP)

The American Council ERLP program that I participated in was an excellent program. The program offered me one on one instruction from Persian teachers. This personalized instruction allowed me to maintain my own pace of learning and allowed me to advance better than I had previously. The program personnel in both Tajikistan and Washington D.C. were top of the line and extremely helpful with any problems that arose. When I was forced to return to the United States due to the Covid-19 pandemic the program personnel worked with me to establish an online learning schedule so that I could finish my semester. The host family that I had were very generous and kind and provided me with everything I needed. The only drawback I found in the program was that I did not get a strong immersion into the language due to the fact that most people in the nation spoke Russian. Overall the American Council ERLP program was a well put together and successful program that I would definitely recommend to others.
