The aim of this project is to develop a free online resource for native Arabic-speaking students considering graduate study in the United States. It is intended to be a tool to supplement student preparation for the Analytical Writing and Verbal Reasoning measures of the GRE.
By enhancing foundational English skills and providing opportunities for practice, native Arabic-speaking students will approach English portions of the exam with elevated confidence and ultimately raise their scores to be competitive candidates in U.S. graduate schools.
This project is funded by the U.S. Embassy in Jordan in partnership with Yarmouk University and the U.S.-Jordanian University Cooperation Network.
