Qalam Center:
Qalam wa Lawh Arabic Language Academy is an oasis in Rabat, the capital city of Morocco. Located in the up scale neighborhood of Souissi, it is a 10 minute ride by taxi to the center of the city and the Medina. Housed in a spacious (4,000 sq ft) facility and enclosed within it's own tranquil garden, our school is an ideal place to learn Arabic, and also offers our students plenty of space for quiet study or reflection, away from the every day hustle and bustle of city life in Morocco.

Courses
- Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) consists of three levels - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced Arabic. Courses focus on the four basic language skills of modern standard Arabic: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Several different types of immersion methodologies are incorporated into the curriculum. At the beginning level of our Arabic classes teachers will speak as little English as possible. From the intermediate level onward English will not be spoken at all. Students are encouraged to speak and use their new language skills, as much as possible, in order to cement them as a part of memory.
- Colloquial Moroccan Arabic (CMA, also known as "darija") is the spoken dialect of Morocco. CMA is grammatically simpler and has a less voluminous vocabulary than Modern Standard Arabic. While most CMA words find their root in MSA, many CMA words are borrowed from Spanish, French, and Berber. This course is also taught at three levels - Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. A placement test conducted on the first day of classes ensures that students are placed at their ideal course and module. The intensive curriculum gives our students the opportunity to rapidly acquire Arabic through immersion in our language courses as well as our content-based training electives.
- Qur'anic Studies - The aim of the course is to provide learners with a comprehensive study of the rules of Tajweed through three different levels.
- Cultural Studies - Our Arabic courses can be supplemented with a wide variety of fascinating opportunities to learn about Arab and Moroccan culture. Students can also take elective courses in the following areas: Arab women's history, Islamic history, Qur'anic studies, Arab Poetry, Moroccan Architecture, Calligraphy, Arab Literature and Classical Texts, Arab Media, Andalusian Music.
The option to complete a Homestay Program with a Moroccan family is also offered to students. For students wishing to get the most linguistic advancement from their time here, we always recommend homestays with Moroccan families we carefully select for their ability to provide and safe and educational environment.
