Focus on phonetics: UAE school scheme making Arabic easier to learn set to be expanded
A project in Ras Al Khaimah focusing on phonetics over traditional grammar is helping kids learn Arabic faster. The Iqra programme boosted reading progress by 25% and will expand to all private schools there in September. It addresses the gap between spoken and Modern Standard Arabic, and works for both native and non-native speakers within regular school hours.
