CORE TRACK STUDY
As the name suggests, our Core Track Study program is designed to give beginner students the foundation they need to move up the proficiency levels quickly. Core Track Study offers students the best of both worlds: 1) A small study group (3-7 students) which is ideal for speaking practice & critical exercises, and 2) a surprisingly low tuition rate.
Core Track Study utilizes “The Spoken Arabic Capsules of the Levant” curriculum which was written by our founding director and is exclusive to CGE Jordan. The Arabic Capsules are designed to be a balanced curriculum which grows a student’s speaking proficiency in three critical areas:
- Acquiring and using high-frequency task/topic-based vocabulary
- Understanding and using key grammar structures
- Increasing fluency (speed of speech) and accuracy in speaking
SPECIAL TRACK STUDY
Special Track Study is our signature program for students who need alternate study hours or customized-study for their particular needs, including customized group study.
Students who typically prefer Special Track Study are as follows:
- Career professionals with limited time to study.
- Students who are flying into Jordan for short-term, intensive study.
- Students whose study hours do not coincide with Core Track Study hours.
- Students who want to focus on specialized study, such as Media Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic grammar, topic-specific study, targeted-skills practice, etc.
Special Track Study can be catered to the specific needs of the student. Students may study 1-to-1 or in a small group, as they desire. Hourly tuition rates are calculated according to several factors, including the amount of study hours and the length ad type of study. To receive tuition rates offered for your study, please take a moment to complete our secure online application below.
Like Special Track Study, Online Track 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 number of hours per week, the study duration, and type of study proposed. To receive tuition rates for Online Track Study, please fill out our secure online application.
ONLINE TRACK STUDY
Our online study program launched over ten years ago and has been increasing in size ever since. Simply put, it is the online version of our Special Track Study program. But unlike Special Track Study, our online students have the option of studying outside of our normal study hours.
Students who fit any of the following descriptions, may want to consider our Online Track Study program:
- 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.
STUDY ABROAD TRACK
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 Jordan’s intensive Study Abroad Track 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, "critical" language by the U.S. State Department, students from the USA and other countries will find it easier to obtain scholarships for Arabic study.
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.
DIPLOMATIC TRACK 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.
LANGUAGE EVALUATIONS
Why evaluate someone’s language? Periodic language evaluations have proven to be of critical importance to effective language acquisition. CGE Jordan offers testing services for both CGE Jordan students and those from other centers. We are the leader in Jordan of ACTFL OPI testing services and have conducted hundreds of evaluations since we began offering the service in 2009.
The ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview is the most recognized test in the United States for evaluating one’s speaking abilities. It is a live, recorded 10-20 minute conversation, between a trained interviewer and the candidate. The test is standardized and a reliable measure of how well a person speaks a language. Interviewees are asked a set of personalized questions with the goal of gathering a good sample of speech which is later used to rate against the proficiency levels described in ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines.
To be ratable, a speech sample must clearly demonstrate the highest sustained level of performance of the speaker (known as the “floor”) and the level at which the speaker can no longer sustain the performance (known as the “ceiling”), over a variety of topics. Although the Oral Proficiency Interview is highly technical, it appears to the candidate to be much more like a normal conversation than an oral test.
The OPI assesses language proficiency in terms of the ability to use the language effectively and appropriately in real-life situations. The test does not consider the educational background of the candidate or the veracity of the content given but, rather, his/her ability to communicate practically and proficiently. The OPI does not compare one individual’s performance to others, but each individual performance to the assessment criteria.
All Oral Proficiency Interviews conducted at CGE Jordan are doubly-rated by two raters and one final rating is given. Candidates are evaluated and ratings are given according to the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines for Speaking (2012).
OPI results are sent by email to the candidate and/or another party that he/she designates. The email will contain
- a PDF document containing the candidate’s Global Rating and other rating data,
- a download link for an audio file of the actual recorded interview.
Results are sent out 1-2 weeks after the date of the OPI.
Fees for a formally-rated OPI are 55 JOD ($77.45 USD) per interview.
Yes. Results can be rush ordered and received within 2-3 days. Fees for rush order OPI’s are 70 JOD ($98.58 USD).
Yes. We do provide informal OPI’s for those who do not need or want formal written results. Everything remains the same in the OPI process, except that results and feedback is given orally directly after the OPI is completely. The fee for an informal OPI is 35 JOD ($49.73 USD).
Yes. We currently offer OPI’s for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)* and the following dialects:
Jordanian
Palestinian
Syrian
Lebanese
Iraqi
Egyptian
*OPI’s may also be conducted for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), keeping in mind that the OPI is completely oral and no part of the interview will involve writing.
It is recommended that a candidate’s first OPI be scheduled after 6-9 months of study and then again once every 6 months until the desired rating has been reached.
You may schedule your OPI by clicking on the link below. If you require special assistance, please reach Christine at our main office number: 0096265350771.
