Description
Option 1.) The CET Intensive Arabic Language summer program in Amman offers courses in both formal and informal Arabic. Language partners, local roommates and a language pledge ensure that students return home well versed in Arabic and its contexts.
Option 2.) The CET Jordan Research summer program offers the ability to conduct a directed research project. You commit to a full or limited language pledge and combine one Modern Standard Arabic course, one Jordanian Dialect course (dialect course in the research option can't transfer credit), and a research component. You must contact the Study Abroad Adviser for this program to receive Yale approval for your research topic.
