What is the Difference Between a Non-Intensive, Intensive, and Super-Intensive Course?

All Arabic courses are available in different intensities. The intensity of the Arabic course differs from the course level. The Ammiyya program intensity determines the frequency of classes, as well as their level of immersion and out-of-classroom coursework.

1. Non-Intensive Ammiyya Arabic Programs

Most relaxed intensity available, meeting for a total of 12 lesson hours (45 minutes per lesson hour) per week, ~ about 3 hours of Arabic courses a day for 3 days a week. This intensity is designed to give students plenty of in-classroom immersion while also providing plenty of time to explore the city of Amman, Jordan! We recommend that students interested in a long-term program (anywhere from 1 to 3 months) enroll in a non-intensive Arabic course. 

2. Intensive Ammiyya Arabic Programs

Designed further to immerse students in the Arabic language and culture. These courses consist of 20 lesson hours per week, with about 4 hours of Arabic instruction per day, 5 days a week. Intensive Arabic courses will have additional homework and out-of-classroom assignments. 

3. Super-Intensive Ammiyya Arabic Programs

Designed for students who want a completely immersive, high-intensity classroom-oriented experience. Courses will include 30 lesson hours of language instruction per week, with 5 hours of language instruction per day, 5 days a week. We recommend Super-Intensive courses for those enrolled in shorter programs (1–4 weeks) due to the intensive course load.
