The Impact of Suggested e-Activities via Social Networks on Improving the Linguistic Skills of Arabic Speakers of Other Languages
AlSaleem, Basmah Issa Ahmad
European Journal of Educational Sciences, v5 n2 p46-56 Jun 2018
This study investigated the impact of using suggested e-activities via social networks (Facebook) in enhancing linguistic skills (reading comprehension skills) for Arabic Language learners who speak other languages in the Arabic for Speakers of Other Languages Centre at The World Islamic Sciences and Education University, Jordan. Participants of the study were Arabic Language learners who speak other languages who come to Jordan from different foreign countries to learn Arabic language. The researcher hypothesized that if these learners practiced e-activities via Facebook, their reading comprehension skills may be improved. For answering questions of the study, the researcher designed a pre-post reading comprehension skills test to determine the participants' mastery for reading comprehension skills. Furthermore, she uploaded the e-activities on a Facebook account that were made available for all the participants of the study. Results revealed that the suggested e-activities via social networks media (Facebook) were effective in improving participants' reading comprehension skills. Then the study recommended that social networks media could be utilized in improving other skills such as speaking and listening.
