Abstract

Remediation and Teaching of Arabic Grammar in the Middle East Using Divergent Problem Solving Strategies to Ensure the Accurate Use of Standard Arabic Grammar Hana Abdallah Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Education, Buffalo State College Buffalo, New York DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.47772/IJRISS.2025.915EC0060 Received: 05 June 2025; Accepted: 14 June 2025; Published: 21 July 2025 INTRODUCTION The study aims to shed light on the reasons why students, in this particular study students at Grade 12 level, experience difficulties with Arabic grammar. The course structure that is generally used has been criticized as being overloaded with grammar content. There is also the perception that this is not applicable to the students’ daily lives and daily usage of the language. The end result is that students feel that the grammar, which they are taught, does not achieve a functional goal and that the grammar taught at school differs from that which they use on a daily basis. However, what these students fail to recognize, or choose to ignore, is that standard Arabic is required for Arabic studies at university level. Hence, the requirement to learn standard Arabic is not unreasonable and will, in the long run, contribute to their future success. A criticism of the Arabic syllabus is that it does not concern itself with the sequence in which the grammar is taught in order for the students to develop their grammar skills sequentially and thereafter develop their language skills to express deeper concepts. Whilst each lesson has specific teaching objectives the teacher needs to firstly, understand these language objectives and, secondly, the practical application of the objective in order to aid the students to overcome any difficulties they may encounter during the lesson. Zakaria Ibrahim (1999) explains the purpose of teaching Arabic grammar in the following
