Observation (3) ECA Level 2

 The journey continues, and I am here today to tell you about another observation in the ECA Level 2 Class. This time the lesson objective was focusing on categorizing verbs with short and long vowels in the present form, verbs they have already took inside class in previous lessons. This categorization was divided into two classes, one focusing on verbs with short vowels.

علي وزن بِيَفْعَل - بِيِفْعِل - بِيُفْعُل

 They started with verbs that have short /a/ (متمثلة في الحركة فوق الحرف الأوسط للفعل الأساسي) in the middle, in the infinitive form (فعل) such as:

بِيِرْكَب - بِيِسْمَع - بِيِلْعَب - بِيِرْجَع - بِيِفْطَر

 Drilling and practicing was there all the time with all pronouns, to highlight verb conjugation. Then they moved to verbs with short vowel /i/ (متمثلة في حركة الكسرة الموجودة تحت الحرف الأوسط للفعل الأساسي) such as:

بِيِكْتِب - بِيِغْسِل - بِيِدْرِس - بِيِلْبِس - بِيِنْزِل - بِيِعْمِل

 Activity using different pictures representing the verbs and cards with the pronouns was used to practice producing these verbs in short sentences. Then they moved to verbs with short vowel /o/ ( متمثلة في حركة الضمة الموجودة على الحرف الأوسط للفعل الأساسي وياء المضارعة) such as:

 بِيُطْبُخ - بِيُقْعُد - بِيُخْرُج - بِيُرْقُص

  Making questions using these verbs were used as an activity to practice using them in different contexts and recapping on the whole verbs took place to make sure they pronounce  them correctly, in other words one of the main goals in this lesson was accuracy. They have been asked as well to practice those verbs at home and record themselves saying them with all pronouns.

 In the second part of this lesson the focus was on verbs with long vowels (المتمثلة في حروف المد  و ، ا ، ي  ) and verbs with "Shad'a" (شدَّة). First, verbs with long vowel /o/ (متمثلة في حرف الواو الموجودة في وسط الفعل الأساسي) Such as:

بِيْرُوح - بِيْزُور - بِيْشُوف - بِيْقُول

 Second, verbs with long vowel /a/ (متمثلة في ألف المد الموجودة في وسط الفعل الأساسي) Such as: بِيْنَام

 Third, verbs with long vowel /i/ (متمثلة في حرف الياء الموجود في وسط الفعل الأساسي) Such as: بِيْجِيب - بِيْبِيع 

 Fourth, verbs with long vowel /i/ at the end of the verb (متمثلة في حرف الياء الموجود في أخر الفعل الأساسي) Such as:

بِيِجْرِي - بِيِمْشِي - بِيِشْتِرِي

 Fifth, verbs with long vowel /a/ at the end of the verb (متمثلة في حرفي الألف/الياء الموجود في أخر الفعل الأساسي) Such as:

بِيَقْرَا - بِيِتْغَدَّى - بِيِتْعَشَّى - بِيِصْحَى

 Sixth, verbs with "Shad'a" (شدة)  Such as:

بِيْنَضَّف - بِيْحَضَّر

 Seventh,verbs with long vowel /a/ at the  beginning such as: 

بِيَاكُل - بِيَاخُد

 Activities were focusing on producing these verbs in short simple sentences, with all pronouns. Asking and answering questions on pictures representing these verbs. Further, they were assigned to record these verbs at home with all pronouns. 

 This lesson was very challenging for the students, but at the end they were able to recognize all of the verbs with its conjugation and the lesson's objective was fulfilled. 

 In the next post I am going to write about today's observation. Until then stay tuned and Have a good day!
