Warm-up8 min
Warm-up and settle
Quick 5-minute revision: your partner flashes 28 letter flashcards in random order, say the letter names aloud. Then 10 Arabic-Indic numerals shown — Write the numeral and say the word. Remember: this is a chance to show what you know, not a punishment. Encourage positive mindset.
Step 115 min
Written assessment — Part A (script and diacritics)
Assessment Part A: 1) Write the Arabic alphabet in order (28 letters) — 14 marks. 2) Add the correct positional form asked (initial/medial/final) for 6 given letters — 6 marks. 3) Name the diacritic shown and write one word containing it — 5 marks. 4) Write the Arabic-Indic numerals for: 3, 7, 15, 20, 100 — 5 marks. Total Part A: 30 marks. You work in silence. work through the task but does not help — this is an individual assessment.
Step 215 min
Written assessment — Part B (reading and writing)
Assessment Part B: 1) Dictation — Listen as the text is read 10 words aloud (twice each), Write — 10 marks. 2) Reading comprehension — 5 vowelled words with 4 options each (circle the correct transliteration) — 5 marks. 3) Read 4 simple unvowelled signs and match to their English meaning — 5 marks. Total Part B: 20 marks. Grand total: 50 marks.
Step 312 min
Reading aloud — individual assessment
While you are completing written parts (or after), your partner calls you one at a time to a quiet corner and asks them to read 5 words from the vowelled passage aloud. Mark using a simple 3-point scale per word (2 = fully correct, 1 = partially correct, 0 = unable). Total reading: 10 marks. If you already speak some Arabic at home, use Level 2 passage (longer, includes some unvowelled words).
