Additional classroom activities

These additional activities and games concentrate on pair work and group work to enhance the four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Each activity has been tested in the classroom and includes detailed step-by-step instructions and specially prepared materials. Activities are referenced to the level and unit of Mastering Arabic, but many can be easily adapted to suit other units.

We hope you find the ideas stimulating and welcome feedback on the activities.
