Throughout the course, the instructor will use slides, hand gestures, facial expressions, voice intonation, and body movements to engage and help students understand the material. Chanting, rhyming, singing, and call-and-response activities will also be incorporated to keep students engaged and interactive. Students will constantly interact with the instructor and their classmates throughout the lesson.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  🌍Target Student🌍 ▬▬▬▬▬▬
This course is open to all students, but is most appropriate for non-native speakers of Arabic. Students should have familiarity with the stand alone letters of the Arabic alphabet as well as their sounds.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  💬Language of Instruction💬▬▬▬▬▬▬
