• The “Al-Aafaq fil lughat al-Arabeyah” textbooks series – a new Arabic language
model for grades 1 through 12, the objective is to make mastery of Arabic more
achievable and enjoyable for students. The new model incorporates an approach
that involves the use of visual aids and posters with questions to allow
students to pass through an understanding phase before they begin to use the
words for communication and to gain more understanding of the language and build
confidence before covering more advanced material. Students are encouraged to
answer questions posed by the teacher regarding the visuals representing the
vocabulary being taught. Emphasis is placed on the reading and comprehension
skills which are covered in each level.
The Al-Aafaq program ensures that students, through the study of Arabic, gain
insight to Islamic culture, lifestyle, history, and literature.
A workbook accompanies each textbook allowing the student to consolidate
learning and for teachers to monitor and assess progress.
