Learning Plan
-
1 hour of Arabic immersion experience where learners Listen to a story, sing Arabic Songs and make a hands-on playing activity.
Stories and activities are repeated across each unit with different iterations each time so they can get used to words.
Volunteers will be helping by giving 1-1 instruction to the learners and preparing learning materials.
-
Sight reading is an essential skill we are starting in the early units and will focus on later units as we move forward.
Each learner will have their Arabic name tags at the class each time.
We will provide some labels so kids can use them at home as well. All printed resources you will find here.
-
The pivotal role of parents in nurturing cognitive and motivational growth cannot be overstated. It is crucial for parents to introduce their children to a minimum of two Arabic stories daily. If a parent is proficient in Arabic, reading aloud together is highly encouraged. Alternatively, online materials are readily available to provide the necessary support. Parents need to log in every day their children reading progress, the log-in is their ticket to class every week.
-
The program participants will undergo qualitative and quantitative assessments.
The qualitative assessment will be through an end-of-unit show/performance where learners present a role-play in simple Arabic words referring to the unit stories.
The quantitative assessment will be surveys filled out by teachers and parents to measure the learners’ progress.
