The pillars of Masar Al-Arabia

An integrated school system for teaching Arabic

From planning and teaching to assessment, intervention and accredited reporting: everything a school needs in one environment

Planning and academic curriculum

📋

Ready lesson and unit plans, term and annual planning, and a precise mapping of learning outcomes aligned with the Ministry of Education standards and the ACTFL and CEFR frameworks.

A complete curriculum map for every grade and year of study, built on a clear sequence: unit, then lesson, then a five-level pathway. Teachers know what to teach, when and why, and school leaders can see where every grade stands.

  • Ready lesson plans in eight steps: warm-up, the four skills, support, challenge, exit ticket
  • Unit plans with term and annual pacing ready for approval
  • Scope and sequence tied to the learning outcomes of each grade
  • Documented alignment with the Ministry of Education standards and the ACTFL and CEFR frameworks
  • Teacher and head-of-department guides for every unit

Interactive teaching and learning resources

📚

Ready interactive lessons, levelled reading texts, authentic audio recordings, writing and speaking frames, and vocabulary and grammar resources.

A ready resource library that covers every grade across all its years of study, for Arabic and non-Arabic speakers. Teachers never build a lesson from scratch; everything they need is there, organised by level and skill.

  • Interactive digital lessons ready for class display or self-study
  • Levelled reading texts with comprehension questions
  • Authentic audio recordings with varied, clear pronunciation for listening
  • Writing frames, speaking tasks and oral discussion prompts
  • Vocabulary building, functional grammar and authentic cultural materials
  • Home-learning activities tied to the same lesson

Differentiation and inclusion

🎯

Differentiated activities in every lesson, scaffolded learning pathways, support resources for emerging learners, and enrichment challenges for advanced students.

One class holds a student who has not yet mastered the letters and another who reads fluently. That is why every lesson comes in five levels, from beginner to mastery, so each student learns at their real level without leaving their class or feeling behind.

  • A five-step ladder in every lesson: beginner, developing, competent, advanced, mastery
  • Scaffolding from a full model to independent production
  • Dedicated support resources for emerging learners and non-Arabic speakers
  • Enrichment challenges and extension activities for advanced students
  • Adaptive pathways that redirect students based on their results

A complete assessment system

📝

Baseline, diagnostic, formative and summative assessments for every unit and term, with a standards-based question bank across the four skills and approved marking schemes.

Baseline, diagnostic, formative and summative assessment, powered by multiple question engines that mark objective items instantly and route writing and audio recordings to the teacher's marking centre. Every result turns directly into a next step for the student.

  • Baseline, diagnostic, formative and summative assessments for every unit, term and year
  • A question bank tagged by skill, level, grade and learning outcome
  • Varied question engines: multiple choice, matching, ordering, dictation, free writing, audio recording
  • A marking centre for writing and speaking with voice and text feedback
  • An exit ticket at the end of every lesson that measures mastery of its outcome
  • Live test monitoring and approved answer keys

Rubrics and success criteria

⚖️

Standards-based rubrics for speaking, writing, reading and listening, with clear success criteria that suit each student's language and level.

Standards-based rubrics for the four skills, written in language the student understands before the teacher does. Students know what it takes to move up a band, and teachers mark against the same scale so judgements are consistent across classes.

  • Rubrics for speaking, writing, reading and listening based on international frameworks
  • Simplified success criteria shown to the student before the task starts
  • Every criterion tied to a specific learning outcome so gaps show precisely
  • Moderation tools to align marking between teachers
  • Model answers for every band of the rubric

Intervention pathways and leadership dashboards

📊

Individual support and intervention plans linked to assessment results, dashboards for school leaders and heads of department, and exportable performance reports.

Schools should not wait until the end of term to discover who fell behind. Support plans are built straight from assessment results, and the teacher, head of department and school leadership see the same picture, each from their own dashboard, with reports ready for accreditation and inspection.

  • Individual intervention plans suggested automatically from diagnostics and exit tickets
  • Small support groups with dedicated resources for each gap
  • A learning-outcome tracker for every student, class and stage
  • "Needs attention" alerts for the teacher and head of department
  • Stage and year dashboards with benchmark comparisons

Learning pathways

Arabic learning pathways for every student

One continuous pathway for Arabic speakers from kindergarten to Grade 12, and pathways by years of Arabic study for non-Arabic speakers within every grade.

Non-Arabic speakers

From Grade 1 to Grade 9, every grade holds five pathways based on how many years the student has studied Arabic. Every student starts from their actual level, not their grade.
