TitleArabic One Day Camps for High School Students
Body

The National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) in collaboration with BYU independent Studies and QFI are pursuing a project to reach out to high school students across the nation, especially in schools that do not offer Arabic This initiative consists of two components: 1) Students begin with an intensive one-day Arabic language and culture camp in their hometown or region; 2) They continue studying Arabic in a highly interactive format via our asynchronous online courses which includes regular live interaction with a BYU-based tutor who assists camp participants in moving forward as a community of online learners in a systematic fashion that results in their acquiring proficiency in using Arabic for real-world purposes.

Financial aid is available for students who cannot afford to pay the full cost of the course. To sign up students for one of the following upcoming camps, please contact Alex Simmons at alex.simmons85@gmail.com.
