Arabic · Grade 9

Sustain a Supported Exchange

Learners keep an Arabic conversation going with the help of phrase banks and frames. Through a video call between exchange partners planning a joint project and a youth-council discussion about a new park, they practise opening and closing politely, asking follow-up questions and showing interest, asking for clarification and checking understanding, and agreeing or disagreeing respectfully.

What learners will discover

  • Open, maintain and close a conversation politely in Modern Standard Arabic, including small talk and closing phrases (سُرِرْتُ بِالْحَدِيثِ مَعَكَ).
  • Keep the exchange going with follow-up questions, signs of interest (حَقًّا؟ هٰذَا مُثِيرٌ لِلِاهْتِمَامِ) and invitations to the other person (وَأَنْتَ؟ مَا رَأْيُكَ؟).
  • Ask for clarification and check understanding (عَفْوًا، لَمْ أَفْهَمْ …؛ هَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تُعِيدَ؟؛ مَاذَا تَقْصِدُ بِـ …؟؛ تَقْصِدُ أَنَّ …؟).
  • Agree, partly agree and disagree politely, giving a reason (أَتَّفِقُ مَعَكَ، أَتَّفِقُ مَعَكَ جُزْئِيًّا، لَا أَتَّفِقُ تَمَامًا لِأَنَّ …).
