Syrian Arabic Website
This website mostly promotes the Syrian Arabic language coursebook, Syrian Colloquial Arabic, a functional course, by Mary-Jane Liddicoat, Richard Lennane and Dr Iman Abdul Rahim, which is only available online. Although, this website shouldn't be discounted as simply a tool to promote a book, as a large portion of the book is dedicated to Syria, and travel to / within.

École Suisse de Langue Programs in Egypt, Morocco, and the UAE
ESL - Language Studies Abroad (note: ESL is for "École Suisse de Langue", not English as a Second Language), is a Swiss agency specialized in the planning of language study abroad for students, adults, professionals and children. Please note that we are not a regular travel agency, as we don't offer "vacation" packages: we are focused on long term (6-12 months) learning and studying in a foreign country. With a little fun on the side, of course...
Our Arabic language programs offer students the opportunity to live and learn in Egypt, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates. We only work with renowned schools which we select with care, and language courses are often completed with cultural or sports activities, sometimes even by a paid job or volunteer work. 
The prestigious Arabic language...a language course to discover it, to improve your skills in it? Whatever your motivations, your level of Arabic, the time you have at your disposal for this Arabic language course, we certainly have a "tailor-made" language course for you. For an intensive Arabic course of a month, for example, or for an entire year of Arabic language courses, our partner school in Cairo or Rabat will certainly offer a perfectly adapted solution to what you expect from a language course for studying Arabic.

Applicants to either program must be fluent speakers of both English and one of the subject languages— Arabic, Dari, Hindi, Persian, Turkish or Urdu. They should have at least a bachelor’s degree. It is expected that participants’ language proficiency is at the superior to native level on the ACTFL scale.

initiative to support increased training and education in “critical languages.”
These are intensive, ten-day residential workshops designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of current and prospective school, community, and college teachers of Arabic, Dari, Hindi, Persian, Turkish or Urdu. Participants learn the most up-to-date, standards-based teaching methodologies and are required to develop, observe, and critique classroom procedures, strategies, and teaching techniques. The programs include a cultural component in which participants learn how to use the resources available in the community environment. Classrooms are equipped with audio-visual equipment and classes are held on New York University's campus in New York City’s Greenwich Village neighborhood.
The programs were developed collaboratively by the NYU-SCPS Foreign Languages, Translation, and Interpreting department, the NYU College of Arts and Science’s Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, and the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. The curricula are based on a New York State-approved course, part of the regular curriculum of the Master’s program in Foreign Language Teaching at the Steinhardt School.

Givat Haviva the leading institute for Arabic learning in Israel
Intensive Arabic Program in Israel
Givat Haviva has been the leading institute for Arabic learning in Israel for over 60 years. As an institute whose overriding goal is to promote equality and acceptance for all ethnicities, nationalities and religions, Givat Haviva understands that language is often the main barrier between people and cultures. In recognition of this reality, we established the Intensive Arabic Semester - an intensive language and cultural immersion program in which our students learn over 500 hour of spoken Arabic over a five month period as well as volunteer on a regular basis in Arab communities. In addition, our students take part in courses on that deal with Middle East, minority issues and Israel's history and role in the Near East and on the international stage.
Our next semester begins July 14, 2010 and ends on December 15, 2010 while the Winter program starts on January 15 and ends on the 15th of June.
We are now entering the third year of our Intensive Arabic Semester and would be happy to have your students involved in our efforts at peace building through language learning.
Feel free to write me with any queries and/or have a look at our

AMIDEAST/Egypt Study Abroad Updates
AMIDEAST is a leading American non-profit organization engaged in international education, training and development activities in the Middle East and North Africa.
Because of the revolution and deteriorating security situation, AMIDEAST/Egypt evacuated all of its students from the Cairo program on January 31 and successfully transferred virtually all of them to other AMIDEAST program locations in Rabat, Morocco, and Amman, Jordan.
Now we are planning for the reopening of the program here in the fall. It should be a truly fascinating and opportune time for students to experience the “new Egypt” first hand. Of course we continue to monitor the security situation very closely at all of our program sites in the region, and if conditions are not conducive to running the program here in the fall, we won’t. The students who have been accepted for Cairo will be offered places in either Rabat or Amman (their choice, as was the case with the student evacuated in January).
FALL 2011 DEADLINE April 1
Check out the different programs offered on their website: http://www.amideast.org/abroad/programs
Distinctive Features of AMIDEAST Education Abroad Programs in the Arab World

Core Principles of AMIDEAST Education Abroad Programs in the Arab World
AMIDEAST's Education Abroad Programs in the Arab World are built on a set of core principles. These are that all programs are
- student centered
- structured to maximize students'
- acquisition of the Arabic language

- development of intercultural sensitivity and global competence
- overseen by an Academic Consortium consisting of U.S. colleges and universities that jointly provide quality assurance for the programs through ongoing review and periodic site visits to meet with students, faculty and program staff
- large enough, in terms of student enrollment, to assure valuable discussion and diversity but not so large as to isolate students from the host society or become unwieldy and unmanageable

All nationalities are welcome to apply as long as relevant experience is evident and you have the ability to differentiate work that reflects culture and language. Dubai is probably one of the most exciting places in the Middle East in which to live and work offering an array of social and sporting activities. (2, S / TC, 55)
Egypt - Year 3 Teacher and Two Whole School Cover Teachers Two year experienced teachers are needed for an established British curriculum school located on the outskirts of Cairo.

Offering excellent facilties, a reputable teaching environment, professional development, a cultural experience, an annual salary in the range of UK15200-15700 and an employment package of shared accommodation (cheap supplement to go single), annual flights and medical insurance, this ticks all the boxes for teachers looking for a professional adventure in and out of the classroom. Although this is a family friendly school only teaching couples with up to two children will receive full benefits; if only one parent is a teacher then benefits only extend to 50%. There are no visa restrictions on age which is a unique selling point for the school. Salaries may not appear competitive but with a very low cost of living and one of the most exciting historical, archeological and diving adventures on your doorstop you would have to think twice about turning away from this unique opportunity. Please note that the school will be conducting telephone/Skype interviews during March. They will also be visiting London in April for face to face interviews on a proposed date to be confirmed. (2 / S, TC2, M2 / no age limit)

The school is in a purpose built modern campus with top facilities and is well resourced. It is essential that teachers have up to date UK National Curriculum experience.

The school would prefer an IB background but understand that at this time this may not be possible and are more than happy to accept a good solid educator. This is a school serving a local community of children so applicants must be aware that this is not a typical western expatriate school and must be prepared to work in a multi-cultural and ESL environment; cultural sensitivity is a must. The post will suit a single applicant as the employment package does not cover a spouse or dependent children. The salary per month is tax fee and starts from AED9500 (GBP1625). Other benefits include single accommodation, annual flights and medical insurance. Dubai is one of the more popular expatriate locations in the Middle East.

Kuwait is a popular expatriate country offering a vibrant and varied social life that is close and friendly; there are many activity groups and sports clubs. Saving potential is high which is always an attraction for those with financial commitments back home or those who are looking to use the country as a stepping stone to travel further afield to Africa and Asia during the longer school breaks. (2, S, 55)
Qatar - ICT with DT Two year experienced teachers are needed for a private school offering an international curriculum to a mainly local population of students from kindergarten to 18 years. Challenge and reward awaits those who are willing to teach in an environment that is essentially ESL and culturally diverse and applicants should be aware that this is not a typically western expatriate school. The school is currently IB but there is now movement towards using the UK curriculum as a framework of study; the transition phase will be at least 18 months. Salary is offered on a tax free basis and is quoted at an average QAR10000 / GBP1726 / US$2745 per month (there is a comprehensive salary scale taking qualifications and experience into account) along with single occupancy on site furnished accommodation (with communal pool and gym), return annual flights and medical insurance. Other benefits include free tuition and flights for one dependent child, a baggage allowance, a utility bill allowance and an end of contract gratuity payment; the contract is for two years. The school will consider all native english speaking nationalities; it is essential that teachers have relevant experience and have adjusted expectations to match the school profile and its location. Qatar has now won the bid for the 2022 World Cup and though this seems a long time away it does reflect the country's increasing presence on the world stage hosting more and more international sporting events. It is becoming a more popular choice for expatriates who enjoy a cosmopolitan western lifestyle nicely balanced with the culture of the Middle East. Great shopping and beaches. Dubai is only 45 minutes away by air and many more Asian holiday hot spots await for school holiday exploration. (2, S / TC1 / M1, 55)

Abu Dhabi is a cool place to live and work; compared to most cities it is quite small, cheap and easy to get around.
