Assyrian Diqlat School

Preface

The Assyrian Diqlat School, since its establishment in Sydney, Australia in 1974 by the Assyrian

Australian Association has used many resources throughout its time, mainly the set of books

written by the late Assyrian language teacher Koorish Benyamin in the early 1970s in Tehran,

Iran and during the period of time the teachers have been supplying students with suitable

worksheets and activities to accompany those resources.

The Diqlat Assyrian School found it essential to organise and publish work and set questions and

small activities for each level or grade of students.

The teachers who taught and practiced in 2041, worked together collectively and effectively in

assigning particular tasks and giving ideas for what each grade/level should be taught.

The concept of the book allows the student to learn the language, reading, writing, speaking,

grammar and also gaining the fundamental knowledge and education of Assyrian heritage,

culture, traditions, history and religion. It is important to gain these attributes in learning this

ancient language and passing it on to the next generation.

Each series in the books for class levels goes through lessons, topics and exercises which the

teacher can guide the students with and provide new exercises, worksheets, lesson plans and

projects to develop a better learning outcome for the students.

The levels of books are not based on the student’s age, they are based on the student’s personal

understanding of the language and whether they are competent in working on the exercises.

The foundation of the Assyrian language is more than just letters of alap-beth and vowels.

It includes listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, literature and culture.

Assyrian Diqlat School

Acknowledgements

This project was brought forward by the attention of the Principal of Diqlat Assyrian School,

Mrs Carmen Lazar, with the co-operation and efforts of the fellow teachers who dedicated

personal and collective efforts in completing these exercises. The school strives on ascertaining

the importance of teaching this language and educating students, as it has since its establishment

in 1974, with the aim of providing language classes to Assyrians in Sydney.

Diqlat Assyrian School is proud to provide this valuable learning tool it has developed

throughout the series of books published in Sydney, Australia. It is the first time a group of

teachers in Sydney have compiled a set of innovative working sheets and exercise tasks which

assess the suitable area of the Assyrian language for the developing young Assyrian students.

We thank these teachers for their excellent and devoted efforts in completing this major project

and understanding a task to which a great deal of attention and commitment was needed.
