rtrabic and Learning a Second Language
Australia is a multilingual country in which a wide range of languages are used regularly. Using languages is vital in our daily lives. We use languages constantly to communicate with each other and without it we would be cut off from our family, society and heritage.
Al-Taqwa College emphasizes the learning of the Arabic language as the language of the Quran. It is significant to approx. 1,000 million Muslims around the world. Our prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was Arabic and he encouraged us to learn this language and perform our prayers and Dua in the Arabic language
The content and the assessment of the Arabic language at Al-Taqwa College is based on the Victorian curriculum. It aims to develop the knowledge and the skills to understand and communicate in a second language.
In the Arabic curriculum, a theme is covered per term alongside the skills and understandings taught. These themes make up the vocabulary, Nasheeds and activities for each year level. Suitable topics are then derived from each of the themes to suit the level of the students. Term overviews will be sent each term with details about the content taught InshaAllah.
- Term 1 - My Personal world
- Term 2 - How the world works/ celebrations
- Term 3 - Keeping Healthy
- Term 4 - Sharing Planet/Natural Environment

Arabic Support Program
Al-Taqwa College offers new students and students who face difficulties in learning the language Arabic support sessions based on their Arabic Language skills. As many new students have not had the opportunity to learn the Arabic Language before enrolling at our school, these students are given extra support provided by a qualified Teacher aid. Once students have acquired the basic Arabic skills required, they continue learning the content in the set curriculum for their year level.
