Training for Teaching Arabic Speaking and Listening Skills

How can teachers get their students to practise using more spoken Arabic in class while developing their language skills effectively? This module teaches participants how to expand speaking activities by using focused practice where interaction is critical. As with all our modules, mini lessons provide the opportunity for trainees to consolidate what has been learned.

The module is taught by experienced English and Arabic language teacher trainers and includes approximately 30 hours which include teaching sessions, group discussions, materials development and presentations or mini-lessons. There are also homework assignments.

Modules are suitable for those with a good knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), some experience of teaching and an appropriate understanding of English. For the Arabic-only CAT, a good knowledge of MSA is the main requirement.

This module has 9 sessions over 3 weeks in addition to feedback, lesson observation and individual evaluation. There are 2 x 2-hour and 1 x 4 hour sessions per week.

To make the module more accessible, we are offering two timing options for the weekday sessions, 'Early' or 'Late'. You must choose one of these for the whole module. Everyone has the same Saturday session. There are NOT two sessions per weekday.

For more information on the CAT course as well as study grants, please see our website.

All participants will receive an attendance certificate for completing the module, but those who show progress during presentations and mini-lessons are awarded a certificate stating that they have demonstrated significant teaching skills. For those who complete all four modules, in any order and demonstrating progress, a CAT certificate will be awarded.

The full CAT course costs $1900. A $180 discount is automatically applied when purchasing your 4th module. ($520 + $520 + $520 + $340). If paying the full course fees up-front is a problem, then there are options such as Klarna (Europe) or Tabby (Middle East) available that can help. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

You will need access to a computer and basic computer literacy for this course (Zoom, word processing etc)
