As the name suggests, our Core Track Study is CGE Jordan's flagship study program.  The reason for this is that it offers students the best of both worlds: 1) A small study group (3-6 students) -- ideal for speaking practice and critical exercises -- and 2) a low tuition rate.

Core Track Study utilizes "The Arabic Capsules" curriculum which has been designed by our founding director and is exclusively used at CGE Jordan.  The Arabic Capsules are designed to be a balanced curriculum which grows a student's speaking proficiency in three critical areas:

1. Acquiring and using high-frequency task/topic-based vocabulary
2. Understanding and using key grammar structures
3. Increasing fluency (speed of speech) and accuracy in speaking

All Core Track Study courses are comprised of 96 in-class study hours and usually taken over a period of six weeks (with a few exceptions).  Core Track groups meet four times per week for four hours each day.  Groups typically meet on Mondays through Thursdays from 9:30am to 1:30pm (except for the Winter session).  These courses are offered seven times over the course of each year.  Upcoming course dates are as follows:

• Summer I 2016 (5-week Intensive: May 29 - Jul 7)
• Summer II 2016 (5-week Intensive: Jul 12 - Aug 11)
• Fall I 2016 (5 weeks: Sep 18 - Oct 20)
• Fall II 2016 (6 weeks: Oct 30 - Dec 8)

• Winter 2017 (4-week Intensive: Jan 15 - Feb 9)

Our online study program went live in 2012 and continues to draw interest.  Essentially, it is the online version of our signature Special Track Study program.  But, unlike Special Track Study, students have the option of studying during the evening hours (Jordan time zone).  Students who fit any of the following descriptions, may want to consider our online study option:

• Students living outside of Jordan
• Expatriates living in Jordan who cannot make the commute to our institute
• Students who have studied Arabic previously and would like to maintain or upgrade their Arabic language abilities

Like Special Track Study, online study can be uniquely-catered to the needs of the student.  Presently, online study is only available in a 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 (student-to-instructor) format.  Hourly tuition rates are calculated according to several factors, including the time of the study, the amount of study hours, the length of study, the type of study proposed.  To propose study and receive tuition rates for online study, please fill out our secure online application.

If you are a university student and would like to experience immersive Arabic language and culture while also receiving academic credit toward your degree, then CGE’s intensive Arabic study abroad program is for you.  Since 2007, CGE Jordan has been welcoming students from the USA and other countries for intensive Arabic study abroad.

Our study abroad program is unbelievably great.  We have designed it with many extras not found in any other program.  Not only is it the most affordable program of any Arabic study abroad program in Jordan, it is also the most feature-packed program available, with more personal attention, more intensive Arabic, more in-country excursions, and the only program of its kind to offer a full-board, all-expenses paid trip to Sharm Al-Sheikh, Egypt for snorkeling and camel-riding fun!

Since Arabic is considered a high-priority language by the U.S. State Department, students from the USA and other countries find it easier to obtain scholarships for their study.

Diplomats and other government employees have a wide variety of needs when it comes to Arabic study.  Some desire to study part-time with an instructor at their place of work and some prefer online study to improve their Arabic.  There are those who need short-term intensive study in Jordan followed by weekly online study from their home countries, while others are committed to several years of daily intensive Arabic study in Jordan.  For this reason, we have designed a separate application process for diplomats and other government employees.

Diplomatic Track Study may include Arabic dialect and/or Modern Standard Arabic to suit the needs of our diplomatic clients.  Both study and a full range of hospitality services are customizable and can be expanded or limited according to the wishes of the client.
