content area,
Arabic language is one of the difficult languages to learn because each letter has special pronunciation Each student in this class has to focus on how to read, write and speak in particular way. The student in this class will know about the Arabic culture and how to deal with them.
My online class

In this class the student can reading the content many time because the text will be an available in the teacher blog as a link before beginning the class. The student can read it and have notes before the class begin and send an e mail if the student don’t understand any point so the teacher could clarify before begin of the class and I will answer him through blog .

Learner-Instructor content
In this class I will provide my student every week with text and new topic by using dim dim and I will present the text content as step by step power point through dim dim it is like face to face class because in this class I will meet my student every Monday at 6 pm.I have to cover each point and ask several question about it also I will use skype as a second option in this class .During the course section ,I will answer any question that may arise about the new topic .before I go to the other step and go over the meaning of the new word and make each student after the class taking a short quiz and send it to me by e mail and using blog and some time I will make them record their voice and send it to me by e mail as attach. I will provide my student with a good video link about each topic that we are going to take in order to make them prepare for the class the student will use e mail or chat telephone to communicate with me. or send to each other e mail and there will be a asynchronous interactions so the student can understand the material of the course and make them more confident with this new experience and the teacher will give them quick feedback. at the end of the course the student will present a presentation on what did they lean in the class.
Student interaction, the student will take a part in this class by comment in each other work after they take the class in each other blog and share their experience some time I will separate my class in group and each group will comment on other group .

I will do a syllabus presentation video or podcast as introduction of to my course .it will about what is the benefit of taking this course and how to use video course links and how should they practice the new topic before its start and the way of communication should be this thing will give a clear idea about the new topic. The content activity will be the student will read and talk and writ in creative . Text will be simple and clear for all student in the power point. each student can repeat it many time as they want. there will be pod cast activity after I give my lecture through Skype I will begin start recording every thing that I say even what other student mention in the class. also, the instructor will make sure that each student understand the material by asking them several question before the class begin. The stories practice will be as one of the activity inside the class there will be in the text some Arabic story and I will begin to complete the story in the content and then I will begin make each student to complete the story that lead as to the perfect conclusion then as a quiz I will make my student to summarize it .i will control this story by giving each student part of this story so I can make my student active in this class
Do activity of my course the student will do a practice activity its give learner experience applying information, Knowledge and skills and this will include handout (Horton p 105).I will give my student several reading, writing and listing activity every week in this kind of activity the student may discover anew information about the text content and have motivation to discover more about the content information and sharing their finding with their friend as a team work activates or their teacher .
Connect: the student will communicate with their content, by using stories told by the learner when they discuss the topic with their teacher or each other and use research activity in order to discover the meaning of new words .
Meditation activities I will help my student to match what did they learn and how to implemented in their life. In my class I will encourage personal example by ask learner to give an example of any new words that we take in class and give an example from their life and experience to make the student more active in my class
Evaluation activity. I will make my student at the end of the course rate the content that I gave to them so I can prevent any mistake in the future.

  2. Amal,
    I think this is a very comprehensive and well-thought out course design. I would hope that if you use the design in a real teaching situation that you don't stretch yourself too thin to do all the things you want to do! Bob M.
