learn the Arabic script so that they can read, write and
communicate in Arabic effectively. In addition to the
Arabic script, the diacritical marks and vowel marks are
also important for students to learn, as they affect the
pronunciation and meaning of words.

One activity that could be relevant for a lesson on introducing and valuing community workers in a language
classroom setting is to have students research and create a presentation about a community worker of their
choice.
Here are the steps for the activity:
1. Introduce the topic of community workers and discuss the importance of their role in society.
Provide some examples of different types of community workers, such as firefighters, nurses, police
officers, and social workers.
2. Assign each student to choose a community worker that they are interested in learning more about.
Provide a list of options or allow students to choose their own.
3. Instruct students to research their chosen community worker and gather information about their job
duties, responsibilities, and contributions to society.
4. Have students create a presentation about their community worker using the information they have
gathered. The presentation can be in the form of a poster, PowerPoint, or oral presentation.
5. Instruct students to present their presentations to the class and encourage them to share what they
have learned about their community worker.
6. After all presentations are complete, lead a class discussion about the different community workers
and their roles in society. Encourage students to share their thoughts on the importance of valuing
and respecting community workers.
This activity not only provides an opportunity for students to practice their language skills by researching and
presenting in the target language but also promotes an appreciation for community workers and their
contributions to society. It also encourages students to think critically about the role of community workers
and the importance of valuing their work.
