Forest Dale Elementary School – ARABIC II 1-2

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Arabic II, a course based on Indiana’s Academic Standards for World Languages, builds upon effective strategies for Arabic language learning by encouraging the use of the language and cultural understanding for self-directed purposes. This course encourages interpersonal communication through speaking and writing, providing opportunities to make and respond to requests and questions in expanded contexts, participate independently in brief conversations on familiar topics, and write cohesive passages with greater independence and using appropriate formats. This course also emphasizes the development of reading and listening comprehension skills, such as using contextual clues to guess meaning and comprehending longer written or oral directions. Students will address the presentational mode by presenting prepared material on various topics, as well as reading aloud to practice appropriate pronunciation and intonation. Additionally, students will describe the practices, products, and perspectives of Arabic-speaking culture; report on basic family and social practices of the target culture; and describe contributions from the target culture. This course further emphasizes making connections across content areas and applying understanding of the Arabic language and culture outside the classroom.
