هناك كثير من الدراسات التي بحثت طرائق استخدام متعلمي الانجليزية معظم أنواع المتلازمات اللفظية و اكتسابهم لها، و مما يؤسف له أن أحداً من الباحثين لم يتطرق، بحسب ما تناهى إليه علمي إلى مسألة استغلال القواميس الأحادية اللغة الورقية في عملية تعلم المتلازمات اللفظية فضلا عن استخدام المعاجم الالكترونية. لذا جاءت هذه الدراسة لجسر الهوة في عالم تعلم اللغة الانجليزية أولاً، و بالتحديد في مجال اكتساب المتلازمات اللفظية، و لاستكشاف مقدرة الطلبة العرب على استغلال تلك المعلومات ثانياً.
Although research about the use of collocations is growing, there seems to be no single study, to the best of my knowledge, which addresses how electronic dictionaries impact users’ collocational thresholds. This empirical study has been carried out to bridge this gap in the research literature and assess the collocational competence of Arabic-speaking learners of English. The main focus is on their ability to judge the acceptability of verb-noun collocations using electronic dictionaries on CD-ROMs which are claimed to be much more than an ‘ordinary’ reference work.

Modern educational and computer technology has greatly affected the
design of electronic dictionaries. Various types and sizes have been
produced ranging from hand-held devices to multimedia dictionaries on
CD-ROMs. Unfortunately, little literatur
e exists on their efficacy and the
way these are used; therefore, there is now a pressing need for uncovering
the way EFL learners use these tools.
This dictionary user profile, survey questionnaire, was constructed to
fulfill this need and unearth the electronic dictionary-using habits of Arab
EFL learners and underline the various facts about the names of the
electronic dictionaries they owned, the reasons when, where, why and
how dictionary users employed these dictionaries and whether there was
any particular information they used more often. Endeavour was made to
pinpoint any difficulties in using any category of information and reveal
participants’ look-up habits and attitudes towards dictionaries.
This paper attempts to investigate the way Arab learners of English
deal with weak form items and the difficulty they encounter in using such
grammatical items in context. This problem was approached from two
different avenues. I therefore carried
out two separate tests. The first
test, the pronunciation test, showed that Arab learners have a serious
problem with pronouncing weak form items. The second test, the
identification test, also demonstrated that Arab learners had a problem
with identifying weak form words in context.
This paper examines the ability of Syrian learners of English to
use now as a discourse particle. The paper focuses on
determining the extent to which Syrian learners are aware of the
various functions of now.
This dissertation tackles the ability of Syrian Learners of English to use English discourse Particles. It addresses the use of five discourse Particles by Syrian learners, and these are oh, well, you know , now, and sort of.
The research aims to know the effectiveness of the use of electronic
mind maps to improve achievement in social studies among the
students of the fourth grade primary in the province of Damascus in
the second semester of the academic year 2015/201
6, reaching the
study sample (46) pupils from students fourth grade primary in
Zain Arab School basic education in Damascus, were divided into
two groups, experimental group The number of members (23) male
and female students, and a control group reached the number of
members (23) pupils, the researcher used the Quasi-experimental
method to suit them with the goal of research seeks to achieve.
