Brill786 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Looking for the Arabic online classes from an online provider, CLRC http://clrconline.com/ or TPS https://at-tps.org/? Any pros and cons? Or any other provider? I am open to the other recommendations, experiences and providers too. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) I believe TPS is a Christian provider. CLRC is Eastern Orthodox based and does teach a few religion classes, but others are technically secular. I will send a PM. (ETA I too would appreciate suggestions.)

BookwormTo2 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 We had a great experience with TPS for Russian 1 and 2, and before I registered DD for Russian 1 at TPS, I looked at the reviews posted on the TPS site for it. The good reviews turned out to be accurate. The TPS Russian teacher is really excellent. Other items to consider: 1/ Length of the class and if your student can handle that. I've seen online classes range from 1 hour, to 1.5 hours, to nearly 2 hours. 2/ Is regional accreditation for the online provider needed or not? 3/ See if you can get a link to a recording of the Arabic 1 class. I have done that with TPS and other providers, and watched the class recording before deciding on whether the class will be a good fit. 4/ Though TPS is a Christian provider, DD didn't feel that it impacted the instruction. I worry more about the fit from how the instructor teaches and how adept they are with technology in the online classroom, workload etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've heard good things about Arabic Homeschool: https://www.arabichomeschool.com/ The images make it look sort of young, but I know of a couple of high schoolers who have had a good experience. Their set up is very similar to Homeschool Spanish Academy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I think it does make a difference what the intent of the class is. As an example, there are some that are explicitly meant for Christians intent on proselytizing. Also a class on reading Arabic via the Quran is not going to be appropriate for someone who is seeking conversational skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences and insights. Could you share some details about the Arabic course your daughter is taking? Which book are they using for Arabic beginner, Intermediate and advanced levels? Do students have conversation practice sessions along with grammar, reading, and writing lessons? Do students write essays and work on reading comprehension too? Does the teacher explains well? Tell me about the quizzes, tests, and homework load, and courses quality? Thank you!
