As you know my colleagues 1st A.M pupils are going to learn English for the first time and they 've learnt French just for3 jyears so if they were good in that field they will face troubles in studying English so try for the first contact to test their recognition to the Latin alphabet by checking if they well spell their full names then in the next step and in order not to use Arabic from your part teach them classroom ******** as sit down ....stand up and so on.......
finally introduce days and months in order to make pupils write the date daily by rows ...
This is what I've always used to do in my 15 years experience in teaching English in Primary and middle schools and I hope It will be helpful forevery new teacher .Don't make the mistake of starting the program ......try to prepare the pupils so as the proverb says Grasp all loose all.
