| Reasons for using Arab Academy's program at your institution | |
| 1. Curriculum | |
| Arab Academy offers a professional well structured curriculum that teaches Modern Standard Arabic, Colloquial Arabic and/or Islamic Arabic. Modern standard Arabic and Colloquial Arabic courses focus on enhancing communicative skills of learners. Islamic Arabic courses present authentic texts from the Quran. | |
| 2. Sound, graphics and animation | |
| Arab Academy's curriculum are rich in sound files, graphics and animation. There are sound files for all Arabic words and sentences. There is a picture for every Arabic word and sentence in the Modern standard Arabic courses. In addition to that, there is an animation for every sentence in the Islamic Arabic courses. The graphics and animation appeal to learners and make the study of Arabic interesting and fun. | |
| 3. Interactivity and retention | |
| Arab Academy's program is composed of interactive material in the presentation of the material and the accompanying activities. Further, the courses are accompanied by electronic books for use in class. This is the only Arabic language curriculum that is based on interactive activities and lessons and is supported by books. Interactivity is known to increase students' retention by a minimum of 30%. | |
| 4. Time Constraints | |
| Class time is always limited and sometimes it is the only time when learners are exposed to Arabic. That is not enough to learn a language and attain satisfactory levels of proficiency. Therefore, the opportunity of letting students use the program to study at home, helps double or triple the amount of time students are exposed to Arabic. This helps them attain higher levels of proficiency within the same period of time. | |
| 5. Listening | |
| One of the problems of learning Arabic is that students are not exposed to listening to native speakers sufficiently. Again, class time is limited. In class, the teacher reads the lesson once or twice, then asks each student to repeat. Students are not exposed to 'proper' reading of Arabic sufficiently. At the Arab Academy, there is heavy emphasis on listening. There are sound files for every word and sentence. Students get to listen to the material over and over again as they do the activities. This is very much needed as it helps students develop familiarity with Arabic in the oral form and improves their listening skills. | |
| 6. Standardization: Testing & Certificates | |
| Arab Academy makes it possible to have a standardized way to test students and evaluate their progress. Tests are automatically generated by the system at the end of every session. Upon successful completion of the course, certificates of level are issued. | |
| 7. Student Tracking | |
| Teachers are provided with advanced student tracking facilities.
Teachers are provided with the following types of reports: - Time spent on the sessions - Number and type of activities done - Tests taken and scores attained - Mistakes on tests - Arabic compositions written - Messages posted on the boards Teachers are able to view those reports from the comfort of home or their offices. Students also have access to their own reports. They can never complain to the teacher about a grade. All information and mistakes are recorded and is available to them. |
|
| 8. Ease of Use | |
| Arab Academy's program is easy to use by teachers and students. All what is needed is knowledge of how to turn on computers, connect to the Internet and log on to Arab Academy. After that, clear instructions are given. | |
| 9. Fees | |
