The trial lesson is mainly conversational. The purpose being:
▪ To get to know you & your language goals;
▪ for you to experience my teaching method through a simulation;
▪ for me to evaluate your current level;
▪ and for us to see how we could collaborate to achieve your goals.

See you in class 🙂

La leçon est toujours préalablement préparée et traite d'un thème spécifique.

Je me base sur la méthode de l'acquisition naturelle du langage, je propose donc un contenu pédagogique qui a pour objectif de développer rapidement la compréhension orale et écrite de l'étudiant ainsi que la capacité à tenir une conversation spontanée.

J'introduis aussi périodiquement des jeux de devinette et des jeux de rôle parce que jouer est la meilleure façon d'apprendre 😉

Ce que je ne fais pas ou fais très peu parce que c'est inefficace :
▪ La traduction et la correction systématique;
▪ les devoirs pour les débutants absolus;
▪ l'enseignement de la grammaire.

Je demande par contre aux étudiants de niveaux B1+ de préparer du matériel (texte ou vidéo) que je partage préalablement, et ce afin de consacrer le temps de la leçon à l'acquisition du français, dans un climat aussi décontracté et positif que possible 😇

French Comprehensible Input Method

I base my Arabic classes on the Comprehensible Input Method, through focusing on the following:
🎭 Oral comprehension: Communication & interaction in a first stage, then more audio & audio visual content.
📜 Reading comprehension: We learn the letters along with acquiring vocabulary. We then gradually improve your reading skills .
🎨 Special focus on visual supports (pictures, props, body language) instead of heavily relying on a medium language.

The purpose being to help the student acquire the language in a natural way in order to achieve autonomy and full fluency.

🚩 Who are these classes for?

▪ Students who need to learn Arabic for academic and career purposes.
▪ Students who need to specifically acquire the formal written language (E.g.: to engage with political & media content).
▪ Seekers who aim to read and understand the Holy Quran & the prophetic Seerah.
▪ Keen readers interested in exploring Arab classical versification & contemporary resistance poetry.
▪ Foreign language lovers in general, and obstinate adventurers that the perspective of learning one of the hardest languages in the world does not discourage ^^
 
Still unsure? You’re most welcome to use 1 of your 3 trial classes to experience my teaching method, and see how I could assist you in achieving your Arabic goals.

See you in class 🙂
