Teacher Training · The Arabic School
Do you want your students to remember every lesson you teach?
Practical training for teachers of Arabic. Informed by the CELTA framework. Built for the Arabic classroom.
The shift
Change how your classroom works
Small changes in method. Large changes in what students can do.
What you will learn
Four foundations of good teaching
Principle first. Then practice you can use the next day.
Plan a lesson with clear aims
Know what your students will be able to do by the end. Stage the lesson to get them there.
Teach grammar, vocabulary and the four skills
Present language with its form, meaning and sound. Build reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Check understanding and give feedback
Ask questions that show what students really know. Correct in ways that help them improve.
Teach classical texts with a modern method
Bring Naḥw, Ṣarf and the classical texts to life with a clear, structured, student-centred approach.
Who it is for
Wherever you teach Arabic
Madrasas, institutes and online schools
Teachers who want a shared, reliable method across their classes.
New teachers
A clear method from the start, so every lesson has direction.
Experienced teachers
Refine what already works. Fix what does not.
How it runs
Learn it. Try it. Teach it.
Live input session
A focused session on one area of teaching, led live.
Practical task
Each session pairs principle with a task you complete.
Into your classroom
Take it straight into your next lesson and see the difference.
