CIL's Intensive Arabic Program (IAP)

The IAP consists of 20 classroom hours per week of instruction in conversation (Modern Standard Arabic), grammar, media, and reading/writing. Our curriculum is based on the Al-Kitaab series. We combine this formal classroom instruction with 6 hours per week of conversation practice with an Omani language partner, also known as a Peer Facilitator (PF). In addition to these, students participate in weekly extra-curricular activities that include academic lectures, seminars, review sessions and cultural activities which enhance the Arabic curriculum. All students will be assessed prior to the start of classes for placement and at the end of their program.

The IAP is delivered during our:
