تبحث هذه الدراسة في الأسباب التي تقف وراء ضعف طلبة قسم اللغة الإنجليزية و آدابها في جامعة فيلادلفيا. و أود أن أبين في بداية ورقتي أن ملاحظاتي و النتائج التي توصلت إليها مبنية على خبرتي الشخصية التي حصلت عليها من خلال عملي في تعليم اللغة الإنجليزية في الأونروا / الأونسكو خبيراً من خلال زيارت صفية لكليات المجتمع و كليات العلوم التربوية التابعة للأونروا / الأونسكو في أقاليم عملياتها الخمسة: الأردن، سورية، لبنان، الضفة الغربية و غزة من جهة و من خلال عملي أستاذاً جامعياً في جامعة فيلادلفيا و الجامعة الأردنية من جهة أخرى. فقد وقفت على أن أسباب ذلك الضعف قد تعود إلى المتعلم، و المنهاج أو الخطة الدرسية بعناصرها الثلاثة اللغة، اللغويات و الأدب، و الأساليب و استراتيجيات التعليم.
This paper is intended to investigate and scrutinize the reasons behind the weaknesses of English major students in Philadelphia University. One thing I would like to make clear before hand is that my observations and conclusions are based on my personal experience gained during my work as General Education Specialist ( English) UNRWA – UNESCO through classroom visits to some community colleges and Education Science Faculties in the five fields of UNRWA operations, namely, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, West Bank and Gaza on the one hand, and as a teacher of English at both Philadelphia University and the University of Jordan on the other hand. I have discovered that the reasons behind our students' weaknesses may refer to the learner, the curriculum or the study plan with its three major components, namely, language, linguistics and literature, and methods and teaching strategies.

Nowadays social-psychological variables , like attitudes and motivation, gender, aptitude, etc. have been established as influential factors in the process of learning a foreign language . Therefore, this research aims at measuring the attitudes of f
ourth-year students at the Department of English towards learning English
Worldwide, Information and communication technologies (ICTs)
have gained a vital importance in satisfying the requirements of both the
new Education System and the revised Curriculum for English Language
Teaching (ELT). The experience of introduci
ng different ICTs into the
classroom and other educational settings worldwide suggests that
teachers' effective integration of technology into their curricula largely
depends on their perceptions and attitudes to the value of these tools to
achieving their instructional purposes. This research seeks to evaluate the
readiness to integrate ICTs into the current teaching practices of the
faculty at the department of English Language and Literature at
Damascus University. In a context of large classes where resources are
minimal and staff members are in short supply, using technology assisted
learning at Damascus University may help enhance education by giving
learners more flexibility and helping them evolve into more autonomous
learners. Investigating the current faculty’s reading of the value of
technology as a means of overcoming some of the restrictions imposed
by their context will uncover potential limitations on the use of ICTs in
the existing context and suggest workable solutions.
