Intensive Arabic in Amman

The University of Oregon is currently monitoring the crisis affecting the region. Please contact your program coordinator for the latest information on this program. 

This 9-week summer program is for students who have a strong interest in learning Modern Standard Arabic through an intensive language program in the Middle East. You will attend Arabic classes at the Qasid Arabic Institute in Amman. Students of all levels of Arabic, from novice to advanced, can be accommodated and no prior experience in Arabic language is required. To further enhance your cultural learning and understanding of the country of Jordan, you have the option to participate in excursions to sites of natural, cultural and historical significance in Jordan, such as Petra, Wadi Rum, Dana Nature Reserve, and the Dead Sea.
 
The Qasid Arabic Institute is housed in a commercial complex near the Madina Circle on University Street in Amman, Jordan. See a campus video tour here. Within walking distance are numerous malls and shopping outlets, art and cultural centers, sports and gym facilities, and bookstores. It is an ideal location for those desiring to immerse themselves in the lively hustle and bustle of one of the most dynamic capital cities in the Arab world.
 
The economic, political, and cultural center of Jordan, Amman is a city of more than 4 million residents. Amman is considered to be among the most liberal and westernized Arab cities, and is a major regional destination.
