Melale Persian Language Learning Courses
The standards for teaching Persian as a second or foreign language are usually influenced by well-established principles and frameworks commonly used in foreign language education. Some of these standards and principles for teaching Persian to non-native speakers include:
Goal Setting and Learning Levels (CEFR)
One of the most important frameworks for evaluating and standardizing second-language skills is the ‘Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)’. This framework categorizes language proficiency into six levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) and can be effectively used for teaching Persian to non-Persian speakers.
Teaching Pronunciation and Listening Skills
Learning correct pronunciation and understanding spoken language are essential for learners. Given the phonetic and linguistic differences between Persian and other languages, teaching the proper pronunciation of words and sentences is important to prevent common mistakes.
Teaching the Four Language Skills (Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing)
As in the teaching of other languages, it is essential to develop the four main language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) simultaneously and in a balanced manner when teaching Persian. This comprehensive approach enables learners to achieve full linguistic competence.
Language and Cultural Practices
Language learning is not limited to grammar and vocabulary; it should also involve an understanding of the culture and history of the language. For Persian learners, gaining deeper insight into Iranian traditions and customs can enhance their language learning experience and make it more engaging.
Utilizing Modern Resources and Technologies
With technological advancements, the use of apps, websites, and digital resources for teaching Persian to non-native speakers has increased. These tools can help improve language skills, accelerate learning, and promote greater interaction in virtual environments.
Based on these principles and standards, Melale has designed various Persian language courses to ensure a more effective and goal-oriented learning experience.
