Arabic Language

The Arabic Language program compliments the “Units of Inquiry”. Arabic units have been developed and are taught through inquiry according to the PYP philosophy and methodology. The primary goal of the Arabic Language Arts program is to ensure students maintain and develop proficiency in their mother tongue through the six language skills: listening, viewing, presenting, speaking, reading, and writing. This is done by placing an emphasis on oral language and presenting sequential language development through careful control of vocabulary and structure. This is achieved using a diversity of teaching methods and employing a variety of manipulatives and visual and auditory resources.

Conceptual understandings

Illustrations covey meaning.

Print conveys meaning.

People read for pleasure.

Stories can tell about imagined worlds.

Printed information can tell about the real world.

Conceptual understandings

The sounds of spoken language can be represented visually.

Written language works differently from spoken language.

Consistent ways of recording words or ideas enable members of a language community to communicate.

People read to learn.

The words we see and hear enable us to create pictures in our minds.

Conceptual understandings

Different types of texts serve different purposes.

What we already know enables us to understand what we read.

Applying a range of strategies helps us to read and understand new texts.

Wondering about texts and asking questions helps us to understand the meaning.

The structure and organization of written language influences and conveys meaning.

Conceptual understandings

Reading and thinking work together to enable us to make meaning.

Checking, rereading and correcting our own reading as we go enable us to read new and more complex texts.

Identifying the main ideas in the text helps us to understand what is important.

Knowing what we aim to achieve helps us to select useful reference material to conduct research.

Conceptual understandings

Authors structure stories around significant themes.

Effective stories have a structure, purpose and sequence of events (plot) that help to make the author’s intention clear.

Synthesizing ideas and information from texts leads to new ideas and understanding.

Reading opens our minds to multiple perspectives and helps us to understand how people think, feel and act.

Learning continuum for visual language—Viewing and Presenting

Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5

Conceptual understanding

Visual language is all around us.

The pictures, images, and symbols in our environment have meaning.

We can enjoy and learn from visual language.

Conceptual understanding

People use static and moving images to communicate ideas and information.

Visual texts can immediately gain our attention.

Viewing and talking about the images others have created helps us to understand and create our own presentations.

Conceptual understanding

Visual texts can expand our database of sources of information.

Visual texts provide alternative means to develop new levels of understanding.

Selecting the most suitable forms of visual presentation enhances our ability to express ideas and images.

Different visual techniques produce different effects and are used to present different types of information.

Conceptual understanding

Visual texts have the power to influence thinking and behavior.

Interpreting visual texts involves making judgments about the intention of the message.

To enhance learning we need to be efficient and constructive users of the internet.

Conceptual understanding

To aim of commercial media is to influence and persuade viewers.

Individuals respond differently to visual texts, according to their previous experiences, preferences and perspectives.

Knowing about the techniques used in visual texts helps us to interpret presentations and create our own visual effects.

Synthesizing information from visual texts is dependent upon personal interpretation and leads to new understanding.

Learning continuum for written language—Writing

Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5

Conceptual understandings

Writing conveys meaning.

People write to tell about their experiences, ideas and feelings.

Everyone can express themselves in writing.

Talking about our stories and pictures helps other people to understand and enjoy them.

Conceptual understandings

People write to communicate.

The sounds of spoken language can be represented visually (letters, symbols, characters).

Consistent way of recording words or ideas enable members of a language community to understand each other’s writing.

Written language works differently from spoken language.

Conceptual understandings

We write in different ways for different purposes.

The structure of different types of texts includes identifiable features.

Applying a range of strategies helps us to express ourselves so that others can enjoy our writing.

Thinking about storybook characters and people in real life helps us to develop characters in our own stories.

When writing, the words we choose and how we choose to use them enable us to share our imaginings and ideas.

Conceptual understandings

Writing and thinking together to enable us to express ideas and convey meaning.

Asking questions of ourselves and others helps us to make our writing more focused and purposeful.

The way we structure and organize our writing helps others to understand and appreciate it.

Rereading and editing our own writing enables us to express what we want to say more clearly.

Conceptual understandings

Stories that people want to read are built around themes to which they can make connections.

Effective stories have a purpose and structure that help to make the author’s intention clear.

Synthesizing ideas enables us to build on what we know, reflect on different perspectives, and express new ideas.

Knowing what we aim to achieve helps us to plan and develop different forms of writing.

Through the process of planning, drafting, editing and revising, our writing improves over time.

Learning continuum for data handling

Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5

Conceptual understanding

Notes

Units of Inquiry will be rich in opportunities for collecting and organizing information. It may be useful for the teacher to provide scaffolds, such as questions for exploration, and the modeling of graphs and diagrams.

*Living graphs refer to data that is organized by physically moving and arranging students or actual materials in such a way as to show and compare quantities.

Notes

An increasing number of computer and web-based applications are available that enable learners to manipulate data in order to create graphs.

Students should have a lot of experience of organizing data in a variety of ways and of talking about the advantages and disadvantages of each. Interpretations of data should include the information that cannot be concluded as well as that which can. It is important to remember that the chosen format should illustrate the information without bias.

Notes

Using data that has been collected and saved is a simple way to begin discussing the mode. A further extension of mode is to formulate theories about why a certain choice is the mode.

Students should have the opportunity to use databases, ideally, those created using data collected by students then entered into a database by the teacher or together.

Notes

A database is a collection of data, where the data can be displayed in many forms. The data can be changed at any time. A spreadsheet is a set out in a table. Using a common set of data is a good way for students to start to set up their own databases. A unit of inquiry would be excellent source of common data for student practice.
