Arabic Studies

The Arabic language program at AIC Adelaide is based on the SACSA Framework (South Australian Standards & Accountability Framework) in the primary and middle schools and on SSABSA’s requirements (Senior Secondary Assessment Board of South Australia) in the senior school. It is designed to teach students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to communicate effectively in Arabic and to better understand the Arabic language and its culture. The program contributes significantly to the objectives of AIC Adelaide, which aim to facilitate and enhance students’ appreciation of the teachings of the Holy Quran. A student-centered approach is used in the Arabic classroom. We facilitate students’ interaction with each other and exposes them to spoken and written texts at varying levels of complexity. We help students to develop a level of language proficiency that will allow them to express themselves in Arabic, both through speaking and writing. Thus, a high level of linguistic sophistication gives students the confidence not only to communicate in Arabic but also to explore and appreciate its culture.
