Online Arabic courses amidst the Pandemic
Tuesday, 11 August 2020
After all these months the world has been hit by a pandemic ordeal, many changes have occurred, the world has changed, many people have lost their jobs, lost learning opportunities and other events have occurred.
There are so many Al-Qur'an and Arabic educational institutions that have been temporarily closed until an undetermined time. This is one of the effects of this pandemic, at this time, thank God, our Mustaqilli Foundation continues to hold Arabic classes, we move all offline classes to online and also thank God that until now, it has entered the new online class 5 during this pandemic.
Is studying online effective?
Everyone is certainly different in dealing with every change, including changes in the way of learning that was initially carried out face-to-face, now you have to learn online by using the zoom application, there are no obstacles for young people or those who are already used to gadgets, but it is somewhat different with our participants who are quite old, it will take one to two months to adjust. Now it's been almost 5 months that we have gone through all of this and everything is very unexpected because almost 90% of our participants are now even more comfortable with learning via online, there are so many differences and maybe it can be said that the advantages of learning online are no longer jammed , missing material can be minimized more because there is a video recording of each meeting, the delivery of the material is more dense because we know that when we are offline, this chat sometimes cuts a lot. that's our experience with learning Arabic via online for 5 months.
The first to fifth batches of online classes, thank God, have been followed by friends from almost all parts of Indonesia, some from outside, such as from America and Japan.
