The Sijal Institute for Arabic Language and Culture offers students the opportunity to study for the summer in a rich and immersive environment, with lessons led by our experienced teachers. Our summer program moves beyond pure language study by fully incorporating Arab cultures into the curriculum with lectures, film screenings, cultural activities and language partnerships. Our communicative, proficiency-based curriculum integrates Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Levantine dialect to get students interacting as native speakers do, even from the earliest proficiency levels. Based on the methodology of the popular Al-Kitaab textbook series, students systematically practice all four linguistic skills in their core classes and can seamlessly transition from our coursework to that of their home institutions.
