EXPERIENCES BEING A TEACHING ARABIC STUDENT

-03-28-2023 Experiences being a Teaching Arabic student

People saying that Teaching Arabic course is easy because it is Arabic and we only learn about the Alphabets and how to read Arabic properly. Once one of the faculty in I.S. (Islamic Studies) came and she said that "Aii katawi koron nah kapag-alif rkanu bo". and we are shocked because they didn't know that we are also learning like the CED but the difference we are learning Arabic Language. Our prof. said "Kahit Arabic Calligraphy ay maibubuga ninyu". After people of my sorrounding know that I'm taking up the Bachelor of Teaching Arabic They are asking me "why teaching?", "why did you choose teaching Arabic?" and saying In Maranao "Ehh kiyuman kapn sa pamag-apply aya sa Dep-ed." This is where I belong and this is the course that Allah chosen for me. Not all the people can read Arabic Words specially the Qur'an and how much more in Praying. Those words hit's me at first but the time goes on it motivates me more to accept the reality that my course is teaching.

WHAT REALLY IS ARABIC TEACHING?

Arabic Alphabets Our Prof. encourages students to interact in real-life situations, and teachers go beyond vocabulary lists or grammar drills to develop the students' oral, written, and even non-verbal communication skills. Personally, Teaching Arabic teaching the student to differentiate between the English teaching to Arabic Teaching. They don't know that we are also struggling because we are facing or learning 2 languages which is the Arabic and English. Being a Teaching Arabic Student it helps me more how to improve my writing in Arabic letters properly. there are so many types of Arabic Calligraphy. Our prof. really taught us the strokes of every letters. Such as the "Alif" it has 3 strokes. In teaching Arabic they are teaching how to communicate with the students while teaching and so many important matter that they are sharing to us to be a good teacher in the future.

In teaching Arabic we are also learning how to pronounce properly the Qur'an, how to read it correctly and most importantly the Tajweed of the Qur'an. It will learn how to write a letters. Aside from all of them we are also learning how to make poem in Arabic way and translate it in English. I notice that making poem in Arabic is difficult than in making a poem in English. yes, there is a rhyme but it's hard to find a word that will be connected of every line.

Before proceeding to making a poem we are learning first the history before the Islamic Era poetry and After Islamic Era poetry. Just like this poem at the bottom, this is poem before the Islamic Era. if you look at it in every last part something like the same sounds and rhyme. This poem is all bout Pride and Satire/spelling. In making poem we are also getting some of the reference through Qur'an on how to make the poem properly. We are memorizing a poem and Speeches "Khutba" of the Arabic poet. In making poem idiomatic words and the types of Poem in Arabic are used. Those are the "Pride and enthusiasm, Praising the elite people, Lamenting/Praising the death, Spelling, Apology, Spinning (love poetry), Description, and Wisdom.". After we surpass all of them we are proceeding to the demo teaching. We are teaching to the 2nd yr. college students. We are facing so many struggles before we go to the exciting part and that is the final demo, But for now I'm am currently in Teaching Demo.
