The
Arabic language program for speakers of other languages has been growing
steadily with respect to both the number of students who enroll in it each
semester and the quality of its teaching / learning environment. Since its
inception in 1979, LC has been offering courses in modern standard Arabic of
various levels. Presently, LC offers six levels of intensive study: Arabic
for beginners, remedial, pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate,
and advanced. All six levels are offered regularly and concurrently during
the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Registration in the advanced level
is dependent upon the enrollment of a sufficient number of students. The
emphasis in the program is on modern standard Arabic.
As regards the Arabic program, LC prides itself on three strengths in
particular, among others: its central, privileged location on the beautiful
UJ campus and in the capital Amman; the excellent qualifications and
renowned experience of its instructors; and the rich, diverse backgrounds of
its students.
The Language Center has an unwavering commitment to providing the best
possible support for its international students, both academically and in
terms of the services provided to ensure valuable education and a memorable
stay at LC.
LC welcomes applications from any interested candidates and its package
provides a wide range of benefits.
By
studying at the Language Center, students will have the chance to be in
direct contact with the Arabic Language all the time, inside the classroom
and outside. They may also make use of language partners from the university
body that will help understand and appreciation the language and the
culture.
We are proud to have the most experienced and talented instructors to help
students improve their Arabic in addition to the safe and friendly
teaching/learning environment.
Our
courses are offered every university semester. Students with previous
knowledge of Arabic are expected to sit for a placement exam after
registration. The fall course (four months) starts in September, the spring
(four months) starts in February and the summer course (two months) starts
in June. Students in all semesters study for 16 hours of classroom and lab
instruction weekly. Classes run from 9 a.m. till 12:30 p.m.
We also
offer special courses with private instruction for individuals and small
groups. In these courses, instruction is geared towards students’ specific
interests. Time and duration of these courses will be set by the student in
coordination with the Language Center. The price for these courses is 50
USD per group (not per individual) noting that the group number is from 1-6
students.
