Conversation (Oral Expression Skills)
Objective: Develop fluency and confidence in spoken Arabic through interactive and practical activities.
Montessori Approach
- Role-Playing: Create real-life scenarios (e.g., market, home, or mosque) where students practice conversational Arabic.
- Daily Greetings: Incorporate Arabic greetings and phrases into the daily routine (e.g., “Sabah al-khair,” “Kaifa Haluka?”).
- Show and Tell: Encourage students to bring an item from home and describe it in Arabic.
- Group Discussions: Facilitate small group discussions on topics like family, hobbies, or Islamic holidays.
