Book Synopsis Arabic Second Language Acquisition of Morphosyntax by : Mohammad T. Alhawary
Download or read book Arabic Second Language Acquisition of Morphosyntax written by Mohammad T. Alhawary and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the demand for Arabic classes and preparation programs for Arabic language teachers has increased, there is a notable gap in the field of linguistic research on learning Arabic as a second language. Arabic Second Language Acquisition of Morphosyntax presents a data-driven and systematic analysis of Arabic language acquisition that responds to this growing need. Based on large data samples collected from longitudinal and cross-sectional studies, this book explores a broad range of structures and acquisition issues. It also introduces new and comprehensive research, and it documents the successes and problems that native speakers of other languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Japanese, are likely to encounter in learning Arabic. By integrating previously published findings with new research, the author has created a unified and streamlined resource for teachers, teachers-in-training, linguists, Arabic textbook authors, and second-language acquisition experts.

Book Synopsis Interlanguage Pragmatics: A Study of Moroccan EFL Learners’ Requests by : Ayoub Loutfi
Download or read book Interlanguage Pragmatics: A Study of Moroccan EFL Learners’ Requests written by Ayoub Loutfi and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way language is acquired and learnt has for long been an intriguing issue in social science. This question has attracted researchers from a variety of disciplines and people from different theoretical persuasion and predilections. The process of second language acquisition is yet another of area that is worthy of investigation, given to the agglomerate of the issues that this process engenders to second language learners (L2, henceforth). Of interest to the present study is the way this process jointly interacts with a number of factors, most important of which is the learner’s mother tongue. In this regard, a question of considerable interest is whether or not a learner’s first language affects the process of second language acquisition, in such a way that this interference may either help ease or thwart the developmental path of the learning process. Another interesting query concerns the extent of which formal education reduces or helps circumvent this interference. On this view, the present study sets as its research goals the objectives of providing an investigation of the issue of pragmatic transfer from L1 into the Interlanguage of Moroccan learners of English, namely when these learners make requests in English. More specifically, this study will seek to compare the average frequencies of direct and indirect strategies used by both native Moroccan English as a foreign language learners and native speakers of English. Finally, this study will further attempt to explore whether transfer decreases as the study level increases, namely the case of the Moroccan EFL university learners at the first and the third level of university.
Book Synopsis The Development of Interlanguage in the Written Production of Arabic Foreign Language Learners by : Lameese Majdi Ibrahim Ahmad
Download or read book The Development of Interlanguage in the Written Production of Arabic Foreign Language Learners written by Lameese Majdi Ibrahim Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzed the evolution of Interlanguage in the writings of intermediate and advanced level learners of Arabic. The analysis was conducted by using Larry Selinker’s (1972 and 1992) definition of Interlanguage, a new language system that is related to but also distinct from both the learner’s L1 and L2. This exploratory, descriptive study comprised of an analysis of 100 expository texts from university students enrolled in second-, third-, and post-third year Arabic courses at UT-Austin. The data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively and looked at the following cohesive features: the use of overt and zero connectives, instances of repetition, lexical cohesion, and language transfer from English as a way of measuring the development of Interlanguage in the participants’ Arabic writings. Each cohesive feature in the writing samples was measured by the number of occurrences, variety, and quality at the clause, sentence, paragraph, and discourse levels. The goal was to investigate the features and measure the development of the written Interlanguage of Arabic language learners as they progress in their written proficiency.The results of this study indicate two important aspects of Arabic Interlanguage development in writing among Arabic language learners: 1) Arabic students go through phases in the development of their Arabic writing skill and, 2) the transition from phase to phase indicates that Interlanguage development in writing is not a linear process. In this study, second- and third year participants varied in their variety and frequency of overt and zero connective. Post-third year participants demonstrate an awareness of the importance of connectives as cohesive markers. Overall, participants in this study are developing their application of connectives, yet their writings, at times, still contain drops and English-style sentences. Regarding lexical cohesion, second- and post-third year participants used lexical couplets, yet third year participants did not. Additionally, each phase featured an increase in the frequency of reiteration and reference, specifically anaphora, among participants as they move from second- to third- to post-third year. Overall, the findings from this study offer insight into the features of Interlanguage development in writing among Arabic language learners.
Book Synopsis Language Transfer in Language Learning by : Susan M. Gass
Download or read book Language Transfer in Language Learning written by Susan M. Gass and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of native language influence in Second Language Acquisition has undergone significant changes over the past few decades. This book, which includes 12 chapters by distinguished researchers in the field of second language acquisition, traces the conceptual history of language transfer from its early role within a Contrastive Analysis framework to its current position within Universal Grammar. The introduction presents a continuum of thought starting from the late 70s, a time in which major rethinking in the field regarding the concept of language transfer was beginning to take place, and continuing through the present day in which language transfer is integrated within current concepts and theoretical models. The afterword unites the issues discussed and allows the reader to place these issues in the context of future research. For the present book, the 1983 edition has been thoroughly revised, and some papers have been replaced and added.
Book Synopsis Arabic Second Language Learning and Effects of Input, Transfer, and Typology by : Mohammad T. Alhawary
Download or read book Arabic Second Language Learning and Effects of Input, Transfer, and Typology written by Mohammad T. Alhawary and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the status of Arabic as a global language and the high demand to learn it, the field of Arabic second language acquisition remains underinvestigated. Second language acquisition findings are crucial for informing and advancing the field of Arabic foreign language pedagogy including Arabic language teaching, testing, and syllabus design. Arabic Second Language Learning and Effects of Input, Transfer, and Typology provides data-driven empirical findings for a number of basic and high-frequency morphosyntactic structures with two novel typological language pairings, examining Arabic second language acquisition data from adult L1 Chinese- and Russian-speaking learners of Arabic as a foreign language. Alhawary’s study examines the different processes, hypotheses, and acquisition tendencies from the two learner groups, and documents the extent of the successes and challenges faced by such learners in their L2 Arabic grammatical development during the first three years of learning the language. In addition, the book offers both theoretical and practical implications related to input exposure, L1 and L2 transfer, and typological and structural proximity effects. This book serves as a valuable resource for both second language acquisition experts and foreign language teaching practitioners.
Book Synopsis Second Language Acquisition of Turkish by : Ayşe Gürel
Download or read book Second Language Acquisition of Turkish written by Ayşe Gürel and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the findings of current studies on the second language (L2) acquisition of Turkish, an Altaic language with more than 140 million native speakers around the world. There is now a growing interest in learning and teaching Turkish as an L2, both in and outside Turkey. Coordinated efforts to produce theoretical and empirical work on the acquisition and teaching of L2 Turkish are therefore an urgent need. The compilation in this volume offers eleven L2 studies that explore the representation and/or processing of various linguistic properties in different domains of grammar (phonology, morpho-syntax, pragmatics) and their interfaces. All studies involve adult L2 Turkish learners with various first-language backgrounds at different proficiency levels. With extensive discussions on theoretical and pedagogical issues, this title will appeal to an international readership that includes L2 Turkish researchers, materials designers, and teachers.
Book Synopsis Understanding Second Language Acquisition by : Lourdes Ortega
Download or read book Understanding Second Language Acquisition written by Lourdes Ortega and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether we grow up with one, two, or several languages during our early years of life, many of us will learn a second, foreign, or heritage language in later years. The field of Second language acquisition (SLA, for short) investigates the human capacity to learn additional languages in late childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, after the first language --in the case of monolinguals-- or languages --in the case of bilinguals-- have already been acquired. Understanding Second Language Acquisition offers a wide-encompassing survey of this burgeoning field, its accumulated findings and proposed theories, its developed research paradigms, and its pending questions for the future. The book zooms in and out of universal, individual, and social forces, in each case evaluating the research findings that have been generated across diverse naturalistic and formal contexts for second language acquisition. It assumes no background in SLA and provides helpful chapter-by-chapter summaries and suggestions for further reading. Ideal as a textbook for students of applied linguistics, foreign language education, TESOL, and education, it is also recommended for students of linguistics, developmental psycholinguistics, psychology, and cognitive science.

Book Synopsis Interlanguage Error Analysis: an Appropriate and Effective Pedagogy for Efl Learners in the Arab World by : Muhammad Khan Abdul Malik
Download or read book Interlanguage Error Analysis: an Appropriate and Effective Pedagogy for Efl Learners in the Arab World written by Muhammad Khan Abdul Malik and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First of all the author wants to make it crystal clear that the present work is of a great benefit both for the English and Arab learners of the target language either Arabic or English. This edition of the book pinpoints previous researchers' findings regarding English and Arabic phonological, morphological and syntactic similarities and differences and how all these differences result in mistakes and errors by the Arab learners of English in their learning process. These mistakes or errors are unconsciously or involuntarily made by Arab learners of English due to the differences between the system and sub-systems of the two languages. The present attempt is the result of my realization as an English language teacher as to how a teacher can minimize students difficulties in learning of English and maximize their knowledge, skills and competency of English as a foreign or second language. This is the first edition. The work is pedagogically oriented and primarily intended to make teaching-learning of English as a foreign/second language a bit easy especially for the first-year university students of English language in the Arab world: (Gulf area such as KSA, UAE, Kuwait, and the Middle East Area, such as Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and so on). The focus is on phonetic and morpho-syntactic variations in Arabic and English languages. This area of research becomes more interesting through the assumptions – (i) information about the differences and similarities between Arabic and English language is to be supplied at an early stage since this facilitates the students learning task, (ii) the differences are to be presented in pedagogically suitable format, (iii) it is useful to separate and present phonetics, morphological and syntactic categories as they function in suitable contexts and not merely abstract notions, (iv) before students may tackle contrastive analysis, they should have basic knowledge of Arabic and English languages similarities and differences and (v) pre-modification and post-modification of lexical and syntactic structures are to be explained appropriately.

Book Synopsis Instructed Second Language Acquisition of Arabic by : Mahmoud Azaz
Download or read book Instructed Second Language Acquisition of Arabic written by Mahmoud Azaz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instructed Second Language Acquisition of Arabic examines the acquisition of agreement asymmetries in the grammatical system of Arabic as a second/foreign language through the lens of instructed second language acquisition. The book explores how to improve the processes of L2 learning of Arabic using evidence-based classroom research. Before it does this, it characterizes the variable challenges that English L2 learners of Arabic face when they acquire four structural cases in Arabic grammar that entail agreement asymmetries. Using the pretest–posttest design, it examines the effects of four classroom interventions using quantitative and qualitative measures. In these interventions, form-based and meaning-based measures were used to reveal to what degree learners have developed explicit and implicit knowledge of these aspects of asymmetry. In the concluding chapter, the book provides focused and specific implications based on the results of the four studies. It provides theoretical implications that enrich the discussions of instructed second language Acquisition in Arabic and other languages more broadly. It also provides implications for teachers, curriculum designers, and textbook writers of Arabic. This book will be informative for Arabic applied linguists, researchers of Arabic SLA, Arabic instructors (at the K–12 and the college level), and Arabic program directors and coordinators. The book will also appeal to all SLA and ISLA researchers.

Book Synopsis Second Language Acquisition by : Susan M. Gass
Download or read book Second Language Acquisition written by Susan M. Gass and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a thorough revision of the highly successful text first published in 1994. The authors retain the multidisciplinary approach that presents research from linguistics, sociology, psychology, and education, in a format designed for use in an introductory course for undergraduate or graduate students. The research is updated throughout and there are new sections and chapters in this second edition as well. New chapters cover child language acquisition (first and second), Universal Grammar, and instructed language learning; new sections address issues, such as what data analysis doesn't show, replication of research findings, interlanguage transfer (multilingual acquisition and transfer), the aspect hypothesis, general nativism, connectionist approaches, and implicit/explicit knowledge. Major updates include nonlanguage influences and the lexicon. The workbook, "Second Language Learning Data Analysis, Second Edition," makes an ideal accompaniment to the text.
