I am a junior doctor and, parallel to that, I teach Arabic.
I have been teaching Arabic to both children and adults for over 6 years.
Rather than adopting a single perspective for second language learning, I use aspects from 3 different approaches: the Grammar Translation Method (GTM), the Audiolingual Method (ALM) and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT).
If the student does not have a specific curriculum to learn, I choose it for them based on their level, purpose for learning the language, and whether they wish to learn a specific dialect or Modern Standard Arabic.
I believe that learning a language must be fun so I tend to use conversations as well as songs to link grammar and new vocabulary to real-life conversations. I also include the cultural aspect associated with the language as it helps to make links and better understand the background of the language. However, whether to include the cultural and/or the religious aspects is entirely up to the student/parent.
My students can pick up Arabic in a relatively short time as long as they are dedicated. The Arabic language isn't difficult to comprehend or learn as long as there's a willingness to learn, study, and perfect it.
