Arabic Program

Amideast Education Abroad language instruction follows an integrated approach to the study of Arabic. Our courses use the third edition of Al-Kitaab and locally produced materials, activating local dialects alongside Modern Standard Arabic. As darija is not included among dialects in Al-Kitaab, our Arabic Coordinator and faculty in Morocco developed a fully integrated darija curriculum and materials to accompany the series.
