In 2019, NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) released the Arabic K-10 Syllabus.

The support on this page includes sample:

• scope and sequences
• unit starters (units of work)
• assessment tasks, with marking guidelines.

Modify the documents to suit your context, including the needs of your students.

For advice on how to develop your own programming documents, visit our programming and assessment page.

Support materials from NSW Department of Education

The Arabic K-10 syllabus was developed using the Languages K-10 Framework. As all K-10 language syllabuses (2017 and later) are underpinned by this framework, teachers should view resources across all languages to access a broader range of sample scope and sequences, unit starters and assessment tasks.

Sample scope and sequence documents

• Stage 4 (DOCX 58KB)
• Stage 5 (DOCX 49KB) – for students with prior learning and/or experience in Arabic

Sample assessment tasks

• Stage 4 – What's your style? (DOCX 42KB)

Unit starters

A unit starter is a set of proposed teaching, learning and assessment strategies, arranged around a topic or theme. Teachers adapt the content to suit the needs of individual students and their local school context.

• Stage 4 – What's your style? (DOCX 57KB)
• Stage 4 – class party (DOCX 532KB), a generic unit starter which showcases differentiation and adjustments to support the needs of a range of learners
• Stage 5 – food trucks (DOCX 95KB), a generic unit starter which supports an inquiry-based approach
• Stage 5 – a sustainable future, making changes together (DOCX 383KB), a generic unit starter which supports the cross-curriculum priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, and sustainability

Support materials from NESA

NESA has also developed a range of materials to support the Arabic K-10 syllabus. You can access sample scope and sequence documents and sample units of work under 'Support materials' on the Arabic K-10 Syllabus page.
