Course Content

Module 1
Module 1 introduces students to the basics of Arabic communication through simple nouns, short sentences, and essential vocabulary. It focuses on recognizing masculine and feminine forms, using “this” and “that” correctly, and identifying everyday objects. Learners begin to understand how Arabic sentences are structured and how words change depending on gender and definiteness. The lessons build foundational grammar and pronunciation skills that prepare students to form clear, meaningful Arabic expressions confidently.

Module 2.
In this module, students learn how to differentiate between “this” (هَذَا) and “that” (ذَٰلِكَ) in Arabic. The lesson introduces the concept of pointing to objects that are far away, helping learners understand how distance affects word choice in demonstrative pronouns. Through simple dialogues and repetitive examples, students practice identifying near and far objects — for example: هَذَا بَيْتٌ وَذَٰلِكَ مَسْجِدٌ (“This is a house and that is a mosque”). The module also builds vocabulary with new words such as horse (حِصَان), donkey (حِمَار), cat (قِطّ), stone (حَجَر), milk (لَبَن), and sugar (سُكَّر). By the end of this lesson, learners will confidently describe and distinguish objects using demonstrative pronouns in Arabic, strengthening their sentence construction and Qur’anic comprehension. The module is taught in Yoruba language for easy understanding and retention.

Module 3
In this module you continue from simply identifying “this” (هَذَا) and “that” (ذَٰلِكَ) to understanding how nouns in Arabic are definite or indefinite — in other words, whether we are talking about “a house” or “the house”. Learners are introduced to the Arabic article ال (al-) which corresponds to English “the”, and learn that when it is prefixed to a noun the noun becomes definite (تَـعْرِي͡ف) and the indefinite nunation (ـٌ, ـٍ, ـً) is dropped. The lesson explains the two groups of letters: solar (شَمْسِيَّة) and lunar (قَمَرِيَّة) letters, which determine certain pronunciation rules when “al-” is attached (for solar letters the “l” of al is assimilated). Key activities include: Recognising when a noun is indefinite (e.g., بَيْتٌ = “a house”) or definite (e.g., الْبَيْتُ = “the house”). Practising the form “What is this?” (مَا هَذَا؟) and changing items into definite form. Drilling new vocabulary (house, mosque, pen, book, etc.) but now in both forms: indefinite and definite. Exercises to fill in blanks with “al-” or without, based on context. Listening/reading practice so students begin internalising that the article “al-” marks definiteness and affects pronunciation. By the end of this module, students should be able to: Differentiate between “a/an” (indefinite) and “the” (definite) in basic Arabic nouns. Form simple sentences referencing definite nouns: e.g., هَذَا الْبَيْتُ (“This is the house”). Understand that in Arabic the article “al-” changes how the noun is treated, and the pronunciation rules around solar/lunar letters. Use the vocabulary taught so far with the correct article usage — strengthening their foundation for further grammar. This module is delivered in Yoruba language for clarity and ease of understanding, so students can move confidently into more advanced grammar.

Module 4
In this module, students are introduced to the Arabic prepositions (حُرُوفُ الجَرِّ ḥurūf al-jar) such as فِي (“in”), عَلَى (“on/above”), and مِنْ (“from/of”). These small but powerful words show how one object relates to another in space or origin. Key points include: Understanding that when a noun follows a preposition, it becomes majrūr (مَجْرُورٌ), i.e., it takes the genitive case ending (ـِ). Learning vocabulary of familiar objects (house, book, mosque etc.) and then using them in sentences with prepositions: e.g., فِي الْبَيْتِ (“in the house”), عَلَى الْكِتَابِ (“on the book”). The role of the definite article ال in relation to prepositions and how the form of the noun changes when preceded by a preposition. Practice exercises to place the correct preposition, adjust the noun endings and translate between Arabic ↔ Yoruba. By the end of this module learners will be able to: 1. Recognise and use basic Arabic prepositions in simple spatial/origin contexts. 2. Form short sentences in Arabic such as “The book is on the table” or “He is in the mosque” (in Yoruba-English assistive mode). 3. Understand that nouns after prepositions adopt the genitive ending, and practise this rule with several examples. 4. Continue building a strong foundation for Qur’anic Arabic, since many Qur’anic phrases use these prepositions and the genitive case.

Module 5
In this module, students learn how to show ownership or connection between two nouns in Arabic — known as Al-Iḍāfah (الإِضَافَة) construction. The first noun is called Al-Muḍāf (المُضَافُ), and the second noun is Al-Muḍāf Ilayhi (المُضَافُ إِلَيْهِ). Example: كِتَابُ الطَّالِبِ means “the student’s book” (literally “book of the student”). The rule teaches that Al-Muḍāf never takes “ال” (the) or tanwīn (ـٌ), while Al-Muḍāf Ilayhi always appears in the genitive case (majrūr), ending with kasrah (ـِ). Students practice forming similar possessive phrases like بَيْتُ الْمُدَرِّسِ (the teacher’s house), اسْمُ الرَّجُلِ (the man’s name), and مِفْتَاحُ الْبَابِ (the key of the door). By the end of this lesson, learners confidently express possession and relationships between two nouns — an essential skill for reading Qur’anic Arabic, where iḍāfah structures appear frequently. The class is delivered in Yoruba for full clarity and comprehension.

Module 6
In this module, students are introduced to هٰذِهِ (Hādhihi) — the Arabic word for “this” when referring to feminine nouns. Previously, learners studied هٰذَا (Hādhā) for masculine nouns (e.g., هٰذَا كِتَابٌ – “This is a book”). Now, they learn that when the noun is feminine, هٰذِهِ must be used instead (e.g., هٰذِهِ سَيَّارَةٌ – “This is a car”). The lesson also explains how to identify feminine words in Arabic, especially those ending with the “tā’ marbūṭah” (ـَة), such as مَدْرَسَةٌ (school), سَيَّارَةٌ (car), بَقَرَةٌ (cow), and سَاعَةٌ (clock). Students practice building short descriptive sentences, learning to correctly match demonstrative pronouns with gender. By the end of this module, learners will confidently distinguish between masculine and feminine forms in Arabic, improving both their Qur’anic understanding and spoken fluency. The entire lesson is delivered in Yoruba language for clearer comprehension and easy memorization.

Module 7
In this module, students learn the Arabic word تِلْكَ (Tilka) — meaning “that” when referring to feminine nouns that are far away. It is the feminine form of ذَٰلِكَ (Dhālika), which is used for masculine nouns. Examples include: تِلْكَ سَيَّارَةٌ → “That is a car.” تِلْكَ بَقَرَةٌ → “That is a cow.” تِلْكَ مَدْرَسَةٌ → “That is a school.” The lesson explains how to recognize feminine nouns (especially those ending in “ـَة”) and match them correctly with تِلْكَ, not ذَٰلِكَ or هَذِهِ. By the end of this module, students understand the difference between هَذِهِ (this) and تِلْكَ (that) for feminine nouns, and can form accurate sentences describing distant feminine objects. The entire class is explained in Yoruba language, helping learners connect Arabic grammar to everyday understanding.

Module 8.
This module brings together everything the students have learned about Arabic demonstrative pronouns (أَسْمَاءُ الإِشَارَةِ), showing how to use them correctly in sentences. Students review the four key pronouns: هَذَا – This (masculine) هَذِهِ – This (feminine) ذَٰلِكَ – That (masculine) تِلْكَ – That (feminine) The module explains that demonstrative pronouns must match the gender (masculine/feminine) and distance (near/far) of the noun they refer to. Examples include: هَذَا كِتَابٌ – “This is a book.” تِلْكَ مَدْرَسَةٌ – “That is a school.” Students also practice identifying which pronoun fits each noun and forming full Arabic statements correctly. By the end, learners confidently use demonstrative pronouns with nouns in proper grammatical order — a major step toward reading and understanding simple Qur’anic Arabic sentences. Taught clearly in Yoruba language for full comprehension and easy retention.

Module 9
In this lesson, students learn that An-Na‘t (النعت) means the adjective and Al-Man‘ūt (المنعوت) means the noun being described. In Arabic, the adjective must agree with the noun it describes in gender, number, case, and definiteness. Examples: الْبَيْتُ الْكَبِيرُ → “The big house” الطَّالِبَةُ الذَّكِيَّةُ → “The intelligent female student” The lesson shows that adjectives follow the noun they describe, unlike in English. Students practice matching masculine/feminine and singular/plural nouns with their adjectives. By the end, they can confidently describe objects, people, and things in Arabic using accurate adjective–noun agreement. Explained fully in Yoruba for clarity and daily usage.

Module 10
This module revises and deepens students’ understanding of two vital Arabic grammar rules: 1. An-Naʿt wal-Manʿūt (Adjective and Described Noun) 2. Al-Mubtada’ wal-Khabar (Subject and Predicate) Students learn how to combine both rules in a single meaningful Arabic sentence. For example: الطَّالِبُ الْمُجْتَهِدُ نَجِحَ → “The hardworking student succeeded.” Here, الطَّالِبُ (the student) is the Mubtada’, الْمُجْتَهِدُ (hardworking) is its Naʿt, and نَجِحَ (succeeded) is part of the sentence completion. The module emphasizes: Agreement between adjective and noun in gender, number, and definiteness. Correct use of Mubtada’ and Khabar to form complete nominal sentences. By the end, students can describe people and things accurately and build simple, meaningful Arabic sentences without translation difficulty. All explanations are provided in Yoruba for clarity and deep comprehension.
