<p>English:<br />Hello! Are you a native speaker of Arabic? Or perhaps a heritage speaker of Arabic? Or a non-native speaker with advanced proficiency? Maybe you work for an international organization, or in foreign affairs or international relations. People like you need professional skills in Modern Standard Arabic and Arabic discourse. You may be interested in Indiana's summer program in Advanced Academic Arabic. This program focuses on developing skill in formal discourse in Arabic, be it in politics, religion, literature, history, or the arts, among other topics. Participants will practice discussing academic topics like these in real time with senior experts, specialists, and well-known figures from across the Arab world specializing in politics, the media, literature, religion, and economics. You will learn the fundamentals of discourse analysis in Arabic, a key skill for developing your academic MSA proficiency, and one that will improve your formal Arabic skills in your work, your relationships, and your writing. Join me and my colleagues and distinguish yourself by your mastery of formal, academic Arabic. Welcome to Advanced Academic Arabic with me, Dr. Attia Youseif, at the Indiana University Language Workshop.</p>

Developed in conjunction with the Arabic Flagship Program at Indiana University, the Professional Academic MSA course is an intensive, online program for students with highly advanced Arabic proficiency who wish to develop their command of register, style, and discourse in formal Modern Standard Arabic.
This course is designed for students with native, near-native Arabic, and for non-native speakers with Advanced High or Superior proficiency, who want to improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in formal, academic MSA.
Structured as a sociological survey of issues in contemporary Arab culture, the course explores the nuances of subtext, irony, innuendo, persuasive discourse, and rhetorical devices. Considerable attention is devoted to learning to develop and present extended arguments and to present and defend academic positions in culturally appropriate MSA.
Students who complete the course successfully will be able to participate confidently in a wide range of communicative environments and to engage appropriately and effectively in professional, academic, political discourses in formal and academic registers of MSA. They will be able to interpret tone, rhetoric, and cultural references and to produce their own written and oral discourse with ease, fluency, and precision. The course culminates in the presentation and defense of a formal academic paper in MSA.
Professional Academic MSA combines 4 hours a day of classroom instruction, independent projects, and informal activities in Arabic led by facilitators representing Arab communities from around the world.
In addition to online Arabic courses, the Language Workshop offers in-person immersion courses.
