Applicants must be U.S. citizens and non-native speakers of Arabic and Chinese in order to qualify. This U.S. Government language program is sponsored by the http://exchanges.state.gov/ href="http://exchanges.state.govBureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State and administered by American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS.

In addition to daily intensive language training, participants enjoy cultural activities and excursions designed to reinforce classroom material.
