During Year 7, students focus on the letters of the alphabet and become familiar with basic written forms and structures that follow grammatical patterns. During the following two years pupils become more familiar with varying forms of all Arabic letters and develop their reading and writing skills. The course develops pupils’ speaking and listening skills to allow them to communicate confidently and accurately in a range of situations. A variety of topics are studied which include days, food, colours, numbers, countries, family, occupations, describing people and shopping.
Students also extend their knowledge and understanding of the geography and culture of the Arabic speaking countries.
