Ali Baba International Center (ABIC) is international students and professionals seeking flexible, personalized instruction. A private program may consist solely of a language course or include the three core components of a full immersion experience: (1). A language course, (2). A comfortable accommodation, and (3). A set of rich extracurricular activities and guided-tours to the major tourist attractions of Jordan.
 
(I). Number of Hours
Students may enroll in as many private lessons as needed, with flexible scheduling and duration. Private courses can be structured around various weekly intensities, such as 10, 15, or 20 lessons per week, depending on the student's preferences and goals.

The content of each private course is customized by the instructor according to the student’s proficiency level and specific language goals. Topics may include Arabic media, politics, and contemporary issues in the Arab world, among a wide range of other relevant subjects.
