Tutorials -Level 1, 2 and 3 At the start of your course there will be an induction to ensure that you know how to access the course recourses and to assess your level. Your Tutor will provide you with feedback on your progress, level and discuss learning needs. We teach three Levels taught in our centre. Level 1 The candidate will be taught the Arabic reading in an intensive program as this is the primary tool that the candidate need to learn to progress. Thereafter, the candidate will build his/her vocabulary, learn how to construct simple sentences and have some confidence to attempt explaining their ideas and wishes. Level 2 The candidate will be taught to construct and read sentences in different context, explore and communicate ideas. At this stage the candidate will have some grasp of Arabic grammar and will be able to use a range and variety of vocabulary. Level 3 The candidate will be taught to speak, actively involve in a group conversation and contribute to the learning dynamics. These discussions will develop the listening and speaking skills through the exchange of ideas, constructing questions and responding to their peers. At this stage the teaching will focus on understanding linguistic features of classical Arabic, memorizing essential vocabulary and the appreciation of grammar.
Total hours required for each stage is 30 hours How we run these hours ?
15 sessions (standard) is highly recommended for all levels unless the candidate is ready to put more time and effort (home study).
Course requirement Attendance and punctuality Good attendance and punctuality are vital to your achieving a success on the course. A minimum of 75% is recommended to complete the course successfully. It is your responsibility to catch up on the work that you miss through absence. Materials The Materials that will be used is a collection of articles and texts designed to develop the understanding of written Arabic as means of communication. The course topics are designed to fulfill the needs of our students whatever their level might be. We learn to read by reading- in any language § Between10 – 12 units provide a range of different styles of language and types of text. § Each unit is richly illustrated in full colour, with integrated visual material including examples of authentic texts. § The exercises contained in each unit are prepared to develop students’ ability to understand and respond to written Arabic. § The units are progressively graded so students can start the early units towards the end of their first stage of Arabic and develop their reading skills as the program becomes more challenging. The texts used will demonstrate the main functions of the written language; narration, description, exposition, instruction, and argument, while the style varies from the formal to the colloquial and the tone from the serious to the humorous The language has been controlled to make it easily accessible to learners in their level to progress to higher level. The exercise at the end of each unit provide material for pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading activities, and, like the texts, they gradually become more difficult and demanding. It is therefore advisable to work through the units in numerical order. Otherwise a flexible approach to teaching procedures based individuals’ needs and interests is recommended.
All our materials can be used in several ways: § As a first intensive course in how to read a foreign language, with the focus in reading styles and strategies and learning language for reading. § As a supplement to the general course book, providing more exposure to Arabic course in class and a stimulus for related language activities. Here the focus in on intensive, intergraded reading and learning language from reading § As material to encourage individual private reading out of class, with the focus on extensive reading at the students’ own pace and in their own time.
Suggestions for an affective progress Preparation It often helps students learning to read a foreign language if you prepare for the text by reading the topic and a few key language items in advance, suggest various approaches to text preparation: activating knowledge that you already possess or prepare to know all or some of the key words of the text, relate the piece of your information you have studied through illustrations, phrases… Deduce Your teacher is aware of your needs and is the best person to decide what vocabulary is difficult or unfamiliar therefore he or she will guide how you do for your preparation, but only pre-teach words that are (a) essential for understanding the main ideas of the text and (b) cannot be deduced from the context. Remember, the preparation stage is just a warm-up for tackling the text, not a substitute for reading it. Learning from Reading When the students are fully familiar with the content of the units they are ready for follow-up exercises. This fall into two broad categories: (a) read for response and (b) read for language. The exercises what do you think? Or Talk about… encourage students to respond to what they have read by drawing on their own knowledge and experience, and are best suited for small group work followed by class discussion. Most students should be able to express their ideas orally in simple Arabic, but if this proves too difficult or frustrating allow the use of the mother tongue for this activity.
The section Read for language focuses on the vocabulary, structure and main communicative functions of written Arabic and can be set as homework. The vocabulary exercises give practice in classifying and defining words, understanding idiom, and grasping the principles of word formation in Arabic. Structural points which occur in the text or arise naturally from the topic are practiced through sentences- building exercises, and the section ends with more open-ended work concentrating on using the text as model or stimulus for communicative writing.
Finally lessons also would include a light-hearted text, quiz or task which gives students a further opportunity to respond to written Arabic with ease and enjoyment and the confident to go on reading Arabic for information, interest and pleasure
