Program Information
Class Format and Schedule
At Almujam Arabic Language Center, our core program classes are designed to maximize Arabic language acquisition through consistent and immersive study.

Summer Session: Classes meet four teaching hours per day (one teaching hour = 50 minutes), five days per week, over six to nine weeks.

Winter, Spring, and Fall Sessions: Classes meet three teaching hours per day, five days per week, over ten to twelve weeks.

Classes take place in a comfortable, well-equipped learning environment, with students seated around custom-designed U-shaped tables that encourage interaction and discussion. Active participation is a cornerstone of our methodology—students at every level (from Level 1 through Level 5) are encouraged and expected to engage fully to develop their conversational skills.

Administration and Student Support

Skills Assessment and Placement: Each student undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to ensure appropriate class placement.
Open-Door Policy: Students have regular opportunities to meet with faculty and administration, especially the Student Services Director, to discuss progress, address concerns, and ensure learning objectives are met.
360-Degree Evaluation: Almujam maintains a culture of comprehensive feedback. Students complete thorough evaluations of courses, staff, and administration. These insights are carefully reviewed and acted upon promptly to improve the overall student experience.

Skills Assessment and Placement Exam

Before beginning their course, students must complete:

A written entrance exam, which is divided into three remote assessments covering speaking, reading, and writing skills. For intermediate and advanced students, the total duration is approximately 2-3 hours, while beginners will spend less time.
An oral interview conducted by qualified instructors.

New students are placed based on combined results from the exam and interview. Returning students' past performance and ongoing Arabic experience are also factored into their placement.

Classical Arabic Program
Immersing Students in the Language of the Qur'an and Classical Texts
At Almujam Arabic Language Center, the Classical Arabic track focuses primarily on the language of the Qur'an, as well as on classical and medieval texts inspired by its style and content.

Students gain direct exposure to Islamic legal, theological, philosophical, and mystical works from these periods.

Foundational Skills in Levels 1 to 3

The first three levels build a strong linguistic foundation by developing "linguistic mobility"—the ability to master Arabic grammar, morphology, and rhetoric (nahw, sarf, and balagha).

Students excel in reading, understanding, analyzing, translating, and interpreting classical texts
Alongside, they cultivate essential skills in listening, reading, speaking, and writing, necessary for advanced-intermediate fluency

Advanced Mastery in Levels 4 and 5

Levels 4 and 5 mark a significant milestone where students transition from learning Arabic as a language to using it as a tool for scholarly access to classical literature.

Scriptural Exegesis
Classical and Pre-Islamic Poetry
Psychology
Literary Criticism
Islamic History
Theology
Prophetic History
Speech Presentation (Khutba)
Terminology of Sacred Law and Hadith

The curriculum uses the same classical texts studied in native Arab universities, reflecting the high level of proficiency students achieve at Almujam—often within just 15 months for beginners, and even faster for those with prior Arabic knowledge.

Modern Standard Arabic Program
The Official Language of the Arab World and Beyond
The Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) track at Almujam Arabic Language Center teaches the standard literary and communicative Arabic used across the Middle East and North Africa.

Recognized as one of the six official languages of the United Nations, MSA serves as the common medium for nearly all formal spoken and written communication throughout the Arab world.

Whether you aim to live, work, or engage professionally in an Arab country, mastering MSA equips you with the most versatile linguistic tool for effective interaction in diverse social, cultural, and occupational settings.

Comprehensive Curriculum from Beginner to Advanced

The first four levels of the program correspond to typical undergraduate university curricula, with each level equivalent to a full academic year of Arabic study.

At Almujam, we use our own specially designed curriculum, carefully tailored to ensure smooth progression and balanced development of all four core language skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing.
Real-world texts are introduced early, so by the end of Level 4, students can confidently function in Arabic outside the classroom environment.

Advanced Proficiency and Specialized Modules in Level 5

Level 5 offers advanced students opportunities to deepen their skills through rotating modules, typically two or three per term, covering diverse topics such as:

Media Arabic
Readings in International Relations
The Arabic Novel and Short Story
Poetry and Literary Criticism
Economics

Students may also tailor their module choices to suit individual goals and interests. Teaching materials consist exclusively of authentic books and audio resources used by native Arab university students. Graduates of this track are thus well-prepared to engage with Arab society, culture, and literature with fluency and confidence.

Jordanian Ammiyya (Levantine Dialect) Course
Master Everyday Communication with the Levantine Dialect
At Almujam, we believe mastering Arabic goes beyond Classical Arabic. The Jordanian Ammiyya dialect is essential for understanding daily life and naturally interacting with native speakers.

Our course empowers students to use Arabic confidently in real-life situations, making their learning experience practical and holistic.

Course Structure: Five Progressive Levels

Level 1: Foundations in Speaking and Vocabulary

Level 1 focuses on developing speaking skills with common vocabulary and expressions in Jordanian Ammiyya. Students learn to communicate personal information, handle daily conversations, navigate the city, shop, dine out, and perform social greetings.

Levels 2 and 3: Expanding Conversation and Vocabulary

These levels deepen speaking skills and vocabulary through interactive exercises and increasingly complex dialogues. Students practice real-world situations related to work, study, leisure, travel, and expressing opinions naturally and accurately.

Levels 4 and 5: Advanced Fluency and Cultural Engagement

These advanced levels build student confidence for fluent communication with native speakers and understanding Ammiyya media and advertising. Students also learn to blend Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) with Ammiyya to express opinions, discuss specialized topics, and engage in structured arguments, enhancing overall language competence.

Specialized Learning Materials

Students receive carefully designed curricula and materials tailored to each level, ensuring an effective and comprehensive learning journey at Almujam.
