Download Use of ICT in Arabic lessons
The Arabic department used ICT to enhance the learning of Year 3 non-Arab language learners. June 2009.

Here at GEMS Wellington Primary School we are constantly looking for ways to enhance the learning of our pupils. The Arabic department with this in mind introduced a project to the non-arab language learners of using ICT to present what they had learned.

The children were able to use a wide range of technology from mobile phones, nitendo DS players and laptops. The Year 3 children who were part of this project throughly enjoyed the experience and said that they found it helped their learning and made Arabic lessons really fun.

Mrs. Gihan Mansour who headed up the project presented the work to parents, teachers and pupils from other schools and the press. Please take a look at the coverage in the newspapers of this innovative work.
