Elaborations

  • • Elaboration understanding that Modern Standard Arabic has 28 consonant phonemes and 6 vowel phonemes
  • • Elaboration discriminating between the long and short sounds when forming words, for example, كَتَبَ / كتاب ، سعة / ساعة، فَرَشَ / فراشة
  • • Elaboration noticing that vocalisation such as، ــْ ــَ ، ــُ ، ــِ may change the meaning of a word depending on where it is placed, for example, كَتَبَ / كُتُب، شَعَرَ/ شِعْر/ شَعْر
  • • Elaboration developing pronunciation when speaking and reading texts aloud, applying appropriate pauses
  • • Elaboration noticing how differences in intonation and tone are used to adjust meaning in spoken text, and how the purpose of interaction, such as to instruct or invite, changes the emphasis on words and expressions being used, for example, قُل/ كُل الطعام، خبر سار/ صار، سوس / صوص
  • • Elaboration distinguishing between statements and questions using intonation and tone, for example, عيد ميلادك اليوم؟، عيد ميلادك اليوم. لديك قلم أحمر؟، لديك قلم أحمر.
  • • Elaboration understanding that colloquial Arabic and Arabic dialects may sound different from spoken Modern Standard Arabic used in the classroom, for example, بحب آكل البَندورة / القوطه، بالفصحى ( أحب ان أكل الطماطم / البندورة). بيؤل / يجول، بالفصحى ( يقول). اشمعنى / ليه / علاش / ليش، بالفصحى ( لماذا؟ ) ازيك / إشلونك / كيفك / شاكو ماكو/ كيف داير، بالفصحى ( كيف حالك ). بكام / بقد ايش / شحال، بالفصحى ( بكم ).
