What Will You Learn in Our Arabic Script Writing Course?
The Arabic Learning Centre’s curriculum for this programme follows a progression model that isolates technical challenges before integration. Each lesson targets specific graphemic elements, ensuring learners build competence incrementally through structured repetition and corrective feedback.
1. Arabic Letter Formation and Positional Variants
Arabic script demands distinct shapes for letters in initial, medial, final, and isolated positions. This module trains learners to recognize and reproduce each variant accurately, addressing the morphological shifts that govern Arabic orthography across word positions.
2. Ligature Rules and Connected Arabic Writing
Arabic handwriting requires seamless letter connections that follow strict joining conventions. This module teaches which letters connect and which remain isolated, alongside the ligature patterns that create fluent, readable Arabic script in continuous writing.
3. Diacritical Marks and Vowel Notation in Arabic Script
Arabic writing systems include optional but critical diacritics that indicate short vowels, consonant doubling, and phonetic nuances. This module covers harakat placement—fatha, kasra, damma, sukun, shadda, and tanwin—enabling learners to vocalize texts accurately and distinguish otherwise identical letter sequences.
4. Right-to-Left Writing Mechanics and Arabic Calligraphic Principles
Right-to-left directionality presents spatial and motor challenges for learners accustomed to Latin scripts. This module addresses hand positioning, page orientation, and the visual logic of Arabic baseline structure, ensuring students develop ergonomic and efficient handwriting habits.
