The Effectiveness Of The Judge's Pens-Strategy In Developing Oral Communication Skills Of Arabic Language Learners Who Speak Other Languages

Abstract

This research aims at specifying the oral communication skills of Arabic language learners who speak other languages, and to measure the effectiveness of the Judges' Pens-Strategy in developing oral communication skills of those learners. To achieve this, the two researchers followed the quasi-experimental approach suitable in such research.

To gather the necessary information for the research, the two researchers used the following tools: a list of oral communication skills, a teacher's guide for the Essay book for second-level students at the Institute for Teaching Arabic to Non-Native Speakers at the Islamic University of Al-Madinah, an observation card to measure oral communication skills, and finally, a listening-skills-test. Thirty one students were randomly selected as a control group (16 students) and an experimental group (15 students).

Among the most important results of the research was the statistically significant difference in favor of the experimental group that indicated the effectiveness of the Judges' Pens-Strategy in developing oral communication skills among Arabic language learners who speak other languages

The Most prominent recommendations were using the Judges' Pens-Strategy in teaching Arabic language skills and in teaching the different elements of the Arabic language to speakers of other languages, and finally, training teachers of Arabic language who  speak other languages on how to use the Judges' Pens- Strategy
