SHARJAH, 27th October, 2017 (WAM) -- Primary school teachers in Sharjah are being equipped with the skills to teach their young pupils the smart way at a series of workshops being run by Lughati. The Arabic learning initiative that aims to support the studying of Arabic in Sharjah schools using modern technology has introduced the training sessions for Grade 1 and Grade 2 teachers from 49 public schools across the emirate.
Launched in January 2016 by H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, Lughati sees students and teachers in Sharjah's public schools receive smart tablets, with its ultimate aim being the distribution of devices to 1,000 teachers and 25,000 students of all grades. Pre-loaded onto the tablets is the 'Horouf' learning application, developed by Horouf Educational Publishing, a subsidiary of Kalimat Publishing Group.
Speaking on the occasion, Badria Al Ali, Manager of Lughati Initiative, said, "We are delighted to once again host workshops that show teachers how they can maximise their teaching capacity through the Lughati smart tablets. This year, we have expanded our target by enabling Grade 2 teachers to benefit from our extensive training programme. We are also revisiting some of the essential points with Grade 1 teachers who now have a great deal of experience working with the smart tablets and whose classroom experience in applying smart learning will be essential to the growth and development of the initiative year-on-year."
