The Impact of Standard Arabic Verb Phrase Structure on Moroccan EFL Learners’ Writing

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue 1

Abstract

The study investigated English verb phrases‟ (VPs) structural errors in the writings of Moroccan university students. It is believed that Arabic learners‟ syntactic problems in English VPs affect their writing proficiency. Most of the previously conducted research in this area ascribes learners‟ errors to the English and Arabic phrase structure variations. The participants were eighty semester two students of English at IbnTofail University. They are composed of males and females who havebeen exposed to Standard Arabcourses. On the basis of the elicited data, the study classified the participants‟ problems into three types of errors: omission errors, addition errors and mis-ordering errors. Secondly, the analysis of the data was limited to detecting participants‟ violations of the English VP structures in their written paragraphs. The analysis of the data showed that the participants made interlingual andintralingual errors. Besides, the qualitative and quantitative results demonstrated the effectiveness of the adopted treatment.
