A Typical Day in the A.S.M Summer Arabic Intensive
Classes are capped at twenty students per section. From Monday through Thursday, classes run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with ten-minute breaks at the fifty-minute mark (i.e., 9:50 and 10:50). There is an extended thirty-minute break from noon to 12:30 p.m. The last class of the day, Arabic Grammar, runs from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. and brings together all of the sections in one large classroom for specialized instruction .
Students are expected to spend an additional six to eight hours per day outside of class reviewing the day’s lessons, memorizing new vocabulary, completing assignments, and preparing for the next day's class. This is all in addition to upholding the Arabic-Only immersion pledge while interacting with teachers and fellow students outside of class.
