Arabic Language Summer Institute

The Arabic Language Summer Institute implements an innovative language curriculum which is simultaneously task-based and content-based, creating a rich learning environment that simulates immersion while on campus. Students effectively live in an Arabic-speaking environment during their time at Maryland, with approximately five hours a day of structured language-learning experiences. Students also gain language exposure with one-on-one language partner hours with an Arabic native speaker. The average student attending will have made a serious, long-term commitment to learning Arabic, will be prepared to study intensively for nine weeks, and be performing well academically at his or her home institution.

*Advanced level content courses may be offered pending enrollment; please indicate interest in these courses on your application.
