TitleStudents of Arabic in US double
Body
Prompted partially by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the number
of students at U.S. colleges who are enrolled in Arabic language courses
nearly doubled from late 1998 through 2002. It's the fastest growth rate for any
foreign language during that period and there's no sign that interest is
waning. About 100 Americans traveled to rural Vermont this summer to study
Arabic in one of the world's best-known language programs.
