Introduction
In this short instructional video, students will learn how to prepare hummus, one of the most popular dishes in Arabic cuisine. The video is presented in clear Modern Standard Arabic, using vocabulary and verbs that students have studied in this unit, such as “to put,” “to add,” “to mix,” and “to squeeze.” You watch the preparation process, they will develop listening comprehension skills, reinforce food-related vocabulary, and see practical applications of present-tense verbs in real-life contexts. This resource can be used independently or as part of a guided classroom activity. Students are encouraged to watch the video more than once for general understanding and then complete the related exercises accompanying the lesson. Please watch the video titled "How to Make a Plate of Hummus" before completing the exercises in this section. Pay close attention to the sequence of steps and the vocabulary used in the video. I recommend watching the video twice:
- The first time for general understanding.
- The second time is to help you complete the comprehension activities and vocabulary tasks.
Make sure to take notes if needed. You can turn on subtitles if available.
