“As an instructor having her first [MEDLI] APTLI experience here this summer, I could clearly see in two months why this is known as the best program in the U.S.. Great administrative staff, highly professional instructors and amazing students! It is not a program where you basically learn a language. It’s proven by experience that the [MEDLI] APTLI program provides a collaborative, peaceful and equitable learning experience for individuals to learn about the language and the cultures in a variety of ways. Similarly, it provides an engaging and supportive environment for instructors to develop both personally and professionally even in a very short time! I’m very proud to be a part of this amazing community!”

“I wholeheartedly endorse this summer program to anyone seeking an intensive and transformative language-learning experience. The dedication of the students, combined with the unwavering support of the administrative team, and the added perks of enjoying the summer in Madison makes this program an exceptional opportunity for growth and enrichment.”

“Overall, the class was a success. Among the factors that contributed to the success of the class are: high student motivation and engagement, readiness to learn and communicate in the target language, and collaboration within and outside the classroom.”

“I know some students want to learn Arabic, Persian, and Turkish because of their research needs and personal interests; however, they always have difficulty looking for a quality less commonly taught language program. [MEDLI] APTLI is their right option! It has wonderful teachers and provides supportive learning environment. In addition to language knowledge, students will be able to immerse themselves in the target culture. They will have a chance to know other learners who also have the same/similar interests. This is a perfect language program where you can develop your professional language skills and establish your interpersonal connections.”
