Summer Language Students Test Out Their Skills on the Streets of Cairo
Each summer, ARCE conducts an intensive Arabic language program for
American university students who have been selected to participate in
the highly competitive Critical Languages Scholarship (CLS) program
made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of State through the
Council of American Oversees Research Centers (CAORC). From day one,
students are given opportunities to put into practice everything they
learn in the classroom, whether they are buying water from the local
shopkeeper, a magazine from the man on the corner or with families
visiting the cultural heritage sites. Advanced students gain additional
exposure to modern Egyptian culture during their weekly volunteer
opportunities with non-governmental organizations throughout the city. Hear from the students>> |
