Marhaba!, an innovative student-centered and standards-based Arabic curriculum, bring this rich and challenging language to life. Lesson and activity guides allow educators to help students created personalized textbooks called daftars, a process that encourages them to take ownership of their own learning.
Developed and tested for over four years at the hands of two dozen public and private middle school, high school, and college instructors, with hundreds of of students from different backgrounds and with diverse learning needs, the Marhaba! program is proven to be effective. Students using Marhaba! regularly reach the Novice-High ACTFL proficiency level after 140 instructional hours, and they come away with a greater sense of ownership and responsibility for their own learning.
