Lesson 1 The aim of this first class was to provide a very general introduction to the Arabic language, how it is written, how it is pronounced, and to teach us to say some basic introductions and greetings. We also had a brief introduction to the Arabic alphabet. We were fully immersed in the language from the start as the teacher gave the class completely in Arabic.
Functional objectives: Greetings & Introductions (also written in Arabic on the whiteboard). e.g. wa alaykum assalam - assalamu alakum = May God be with you (greeting and reply) ana Nuala = I am Nuala tasharrafna = Pleased to meet you.
Grammatical objectives: Short phrases & Introduction to gender differences (feminine and masculine forms).
e.g. wa anta,ma ismuka? And you, what is your name? (masculine) wa anti, ma ismuki? And you, what is your name? (feminine)
Lexical objectives: Introduction to words related to greetings and introductions (and pronunciation of taught lexis). Copying of Arabic script from whiteboard.
Lesson 2 The aim of this second lesson was to reinforce what we had learnt in the previous class and introduce new related phrases and vocabulary.
Functional objectives : Greetings & Introductions. Revision of the Alphabet. Introduction to numbers. Practice writing Arabic script with the help of a hand out and recognize letters of the alphabet. e.g. kayfa haluka / haluki? = How are you?
Ana bikayr, shukran, wa anta/ anti? = I’m fine thanks, and you?
Grammatical objectives: Revise grammar objectives from first class.
Lexical objectives: Write numbers 1 to 10 in Arabic script with help of the handout.
