Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B7.1.1.1.2 - Show ability to listen to and identify phonemes as shown in the examples.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Listen to a spoken Arabic word and identify the first phoneme (initial letter sound) from a choice of given letters.
Distinguish between minimally contrasting Arabic phonemes, such as ت/ث, ح/خ, س/ش, د/ذ, when heard in spoken words.
Match spoken words to their written forms by recognising the target phoneme in the word.
Produce the correct phoneme when asked to isolate a specific sound from a word they hear.
Use the phonetic knowledge from the exemplar words (e.g., أَرْنَب, بَطَّة, تُمْنَا, ثَوْب, جَمَل, حِصَان, خُبْز, دَلْو, رَجُل, زَرَافَة) to identify phonemes accurately in new or familiar words.
