Arabic Alphabets

In this post you will see two movies. The first movie is a teaching one. The second is a fun activity to measure your knowledge of the letters.

Please watch the first movie below. It is about teaching Arabic in a very interesting non traditional way.
It will help you to remember the name, the shape and the pronunciation of each letter.



Watch this video for the Arabic alphabets.
  • Listen to the song one time
  • Try to write as many letters as you can remember.
  • Listen to the song one more time, and try to write the letters that you missed the first time.


Startalk Arabic 2008


I am part of the Startalk Summer Program 2008.
Startalk 2008 Arabic and Chinese Teacher Training Programs at NOVA
Powering Up Your Chinese and Arabic Language Courses with Technologya four day professional development course for teachers of Arabic and Chinese funded by
STARTALK

COURSE DESCRIPTION
A professional development Summer Institute designed to help teachers integrate technology tools and 21st century language pedagogy in the NVCC/APS Arabic and Chinese curricula. The infusion of modern methodologies in the Arabic and Chinese programs will promote time on task among students and motivate them to persist in their language study. In order to keep learners engaged, teachers must include the most effective, standards-based activities, emphasizing all modes of communication and culture. Arabic and Chinese teachers in each language will create a collection of activities to expand the curriculum presently in place. The networking that will result from the course will enrich instruction and save teachers the task of “reinventing the wheel” by creating materials in isolation.
