Georgetown University is pleased to announce the opening of the Center for Advanced Proficiency in Arabic (CAPA). CAPA is supported by the National Security Education ProgramÂ’s (NSEP) National Flagship Language Initiative. CAPA is the first intensive Arabic language program to be offered for a full academic year and in the US. Other special features of the CAPA program include: - intensive advanced level instruction (3 - 5 hours per day) in the academic year - focus on both spoken and written Arabic - frequent testing and diagnostic feedback - high teacher-to-student ratio - individual attention and customized instruction - special course modules to meet studentsÂ’ academic interests and/or professional needs - summer internships in Arabic-only professional environments. CAPA invites applications for the fall of 2005. The program is open to graduate students, undergraduates, working professionals, and government employees. Students who plan to study in the Arabic-speaking world in 2006 are especially welcome to apply. The application includes an Arabic proficiency screening test. Those eligible are currently at the ILR 1+ or 2 level (ACTFL intermediate high or advanced). The goal of CAPA is to raise their Arabic skills to the ILR 3 or 3+ (ACTFL superior level). CAPA is located at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Its location gives student access to the outstanding resources of Georgetown University. Students will also take full advantage of the many professional, governmental, and cultural activities, events, and organizations of the area. Qualified students may be eligible for federal funding in the form of tuition scholarships and stipends. This funding is for students who are highly committed to work for the federal government. Other funding may also be available through CAPA. For more information, visit http://www.georgetown.edu/departments/arabic/capa.htm . |
