Why Study Abroad at Deewan?
There are many Arabic institutes in Jordan, so it can be difficult to choose where to start your studies. Here are some reasons why Deewan Institute stands out from the rest, and why it may be the best option for your Arabic language learning journey in Jordan.
Consistent Success Rate
Deewan has a reputation for a quality of teaching that increases students’ fluency and confidence in Arabic. We have developed the first full and structured curriculum for teaching Levantine colloquial Arabic (Ammiyeh), alongside our rigorous Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) program. This means we produce students who are able to confidently speak the Arabic that native speakers use every day; whether it’s to conduct research in Arabic, use Arabic in their future careers, make friends, or just fully immerse themselves in the local culture and gain a rich student experience!
Cultural and Language Activities and Excursions
At Deewan, we believe cultural studies are complementary to Arabic language studies, and to achieving a better understanding of the Middle East. We give our students access to a wide variety of cultural and language activities to enable them to immerse themselves in the local culture.
Student Destinations
Deewan alumni are now using their Arabic to change the world in their careers at UN agencies like UNESCO and UNRWA, NGOs like Save the Children and Action Against Hunger, cultural institutes like the Goethe Institute, national embassies, and business consultancies in the Middle East region.
Deewan Alumni
Deewan alumni have graduated from or continue to study at some of the top universities and a number of the best Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies programs in the world. These include the University of Oxford, the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), Edinburgh University, Freie Universität Berlin, the University of Zurich, Lund University, the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University and Middlebury College. Deewan has also taught multiple Fulbright and Boren scholars.
