Goals

Students should be able to:

• Read the text without diacritics.

• Translate the text.

• Grammatically analyse the text.

• Construct Arabic sentences using vocabulary from the studied text.

Teaching Methodology

Each student will be allocated a text they must prepare before the lesson.

The student will read, translate, and do tarkib of the sentence in class. The teacher will supervise this process but not give answers.

The teacher will explain and clarify any necessary points.

Exams and Course Work

Course Work

Each term, students will be assigned one passage as coursework. This will make up 5 points.

Students will be required to:

• Translate the passage

• Explain any difficult tarkib and irab.

Students should liaise with their teacher who will guide them through the coursework. 

Exams

Each exam will make up 20 points.

Note

In previous years, some classes made a shared Google Document in which they wrote the translations of the texts. This helped in creating translation skills and precision. If students wish, they can also create a similar document which they can share amongst themselves.
