Course Format profile images Course Details
  1. Course Days: TBC
  2. Location: TBC
  3. Course Timings: TBC
Course Price profile images
Course Suitable For
  1. Teachers of the early years in government, private or international schools
  2. Parents – this will require material differentiation
About this Course
  1. This workshop aims to introduce teachers of Arabic to a different way of thinking about phonetic awareness in the early years. Arabic has been taught through a traditional method that gives primacy to letter name over letter sound.
  2. Even though there have been a number of attempts to move towards a more phonics-based approach to the teaching of Arabic, there is a general reluctance among teachers to change their tried and tested methods, as there is a lack of understanding of the steps that need to be taken if Arabic were to be taught effectively through phonics.
Course Outcomes
  1. Participants will be able to reconsider and re-evaluate the current ways in which Arabic reading is taught in the early years
  2. Participants will be introduced to a full-fledged phonics-based approach to the teaching of Arabic in the early years
  3. Participants will be engaged in professional discussions about early reading and sound development in order to elicit strategies for raising phonetic awareness
  4. Participants will be given strategies, tips and implementable suggestions that they can take straight to their classrooms
