Students learn practical English that they can use in real-life situations such as at work or school. AMIDEAST's small classes, customized instruction, and comprehensive learning resources help students improve their English language skills quickly and effectively.
Each course requires seven weeks to complete. Most courses meet two hours a day, five days a week. Class sizes average about fifteen students. A library, conversation club, work-study internships, and tutoring are offered to on-site AMIDEAST students.

We’re happy to announce that Access is officially “social!” We have new and exciting opportunities for Access students, teachers, alumni, and coordinators worldwide to connect with each other.
The Access Network: a custom-designed site exclusively for Access participants. This site features discussion forums, blogs, photos, videos, and chats. Members can make friends within the Network and enjoy getting to know each other. Teachers are able to discuss Access best practices and share resources on the forum. While students are able to discuss their commitment to learning and leadership, and will have the opportunity to apply to be “discussion leaders” about topics they consider important.
Facebook – English Access Microscholarship Program Headquarters: a fan page connecting our programs worldwide. We encourage programs to share photos and stories and individuals to introduce themselves and share their thoughts about Access. We’re also trying to connect with the many program and country-wide Access Facebook pages.
The two-year curriculum will consist of 360 instructional hours broken down as follows:

General English classes are designed to teach students the different skills they will need in learning English. The methods used by our certified and experienced teachers emphasize a student centered, communicative approach to language learning, which allow the students to benefit from our courses.
AMIDEAST is launching, at the beginning of the fall term, a new program based on the internet called AMIDEAST English Campus. This Program is an online learning environment designed to extend boundaries of the classroom and to remove restrictions on students’ time and place of study. Students will get an ID number and a password on the first day of class, and that will allow them to have access to more than 2000 online resources in different skills; they will also be assigned homework by their teachers.

Tunis is a cosmopolitan, Mediterranean capital city that has grown to a population of three million in the past five years and is known for its pleasant climate, close proximity to numerous historical sites such as legendary Carthage, its attractive mix of Arab and European cultures, and easy access to beautiful beaches and the Sahara Desert. An added attraction is regular flights to most Arab and European countries. Sousse, the third largest city in Tunisia, is also a major tourist hub and offers the same attractions for the Sahel region.
