Intensive Arabic Immersion, Yarmouk University, Irbid, Jordan, May 18-June 28, 2011
We are proud to continue a strong partnership with Yarmouk University's Language Center, the host for our outstanding Arabic immersion program. YU's Language Center is one of the most experienced in the teaching of Arabic as a foreign language (AFL) in the Middle East. Since the early 1980s, the Language Center has hosted students from a number of prestigious American, Asian, and European educational institutions, including University of Virginia (U.S.A), University of Richmond (U.S.A.), X-Du Provance University (France), and Bremen University (Germany).
Students in our program will be taught by native speakers and AFL-experienced, university professors and instructors. Our program is structured to provide intensive learning and to provide ample opportunities for cultural encounters and experiences. Our program includes excursions to cultural and historical sites and attractions, including the Dead Sea and Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the world.
The core values guiding our programs are: "Safety, Quality, Affordability, and Unsurpassed Immersion Experiences." We are committed to a mission that upholds these values. Mr. M.A. Mubarak, our native Resident Director (RD) makes this pledge to our students: “While in Jordan, you’re not just our guests, you’re family! We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure your safety, comfort, and optimum learning. We want each one of you to be our goodwill ambassador on your home campuses and larger communities. As your RD, I will accept nothing less than a 100% satisfaction with our program. You can count on that!”
