There are similar achievement expectations for Arabic and English Literacy, while taking into account the level of language learning still necessary in Arabic Literacy. From Year 2 onwards, they are taught in a separate class with other Arabic Literacy (Arabic speaking) children from their Year Group. There are close links between our English and Arabic Literacy policies and practices.Īrabic Literacy is compulsory from Year 2 with the children beginning their Arabic journey in Year 1 as part of a whole class approach to learning. Using this as a guide, the teacher adapts his classroom practice to incorporate active learning, a range of resources and explores ways to make learning Arabic engaging, just like your child will experience in their English Literacy lessons. All language skills are incorporated into children’s learning (Speaking, Listening to understand, Reading and Writing) the focus is on developing the skills the children need and a good knowledge of Arabic to enable them to continue their learning in Secondary School.Īrabic Literacy (Arabic A) Arabic Literacy is for Arabic speaking children who register at DESS with an Arab passport.Īll Arabic speaking children follow the Ministry of Education curriculum. In Key Stage 2 children are set into ability groups from Year 3 where they continue learning a variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures in different contexts as part of the topic-based curriculum. By the end of Year 2 it is expected that most children are able to read and write simple phrases in Arabic. Classes are taught by native speakers who are. In Year 2 children start a more topic-based curriculum using a variety of resources continuing their learning through active strategies employed by the teachers. Arabic classes at the Arabic Language Centre aim to teach students Arabic in a unique and logical manner.
Key Stage 1Īrabic is compulsory for children from Year 2 however, in Year 1 they begin learning Arabic, focussing on learning Arabic letter sounds through active learning and song. Teachers also use various classroom commands and songs in Arabic to prepare children for their learning in Key Stage 1.
What does Arabic Learning look like at DESS? Arabic Language (Arabic B) Foundation StageĪlthough Arabic is not taught as part of the curriculum, children in the Foundation Stages are exposed to a variety of Arabic vocabulary through play and the wider school environment. It has been a literary language for over 1500 years and is the official language of the UAE. The Arabic language is the 6th most-spoken language in the world out of around 6,500 known languages, around 274 million Arabic speakers worldwide (). Literary Arabic is considered by most Arabs as the standard language. Classical Literary Arabic (al-fos'ha) is both the language of the present-day media and the written language across North Africa and the Middle East, as well as the language of the Qur’an. The expression ‘Arabic’ may refer either to literary Arabic or to the many spoken varieties of Arabic or dialects.
