Abstract

This research seeks to analyze these errors, determine their causes, and propose strategies to overcome these challenges, contributing to the development of educational programs. The study is guided by the hypothesis that the influence of the mother tongue significantly impacts the common errors among learners, leading to difficulties in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. Additionally, the research posits that both direct and indirect feedback provide noticeable improvements in correcting errors and reinforcing the understanding of language rules. The research addresses key questions, including the identification of common errors in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and spelling made by Arabic learners, the effect of the mother tongue on these errors, and the most effective correction strategies for improving learners' performance. The methodology of the study is based on an analytical approach that integrates theory and practice. This involves collecting examples from previous studies and common errors, analyzing the data using second language teaching theories, and examining the impact of the mother tongue on Arabic learning. The study will also propose correction strategies. The structure of the research includes an introduction, followed by the first chapter, which introduces the main theories in second language learning and analyzes their impact on Arabic teaching. The second chapter focuses on the analysis of common errors in Arabic learning, including pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and spelling, along with an exploration of the causes of these errors. The third chapter discusses correction strategies, such as feedback and interactive learning, and effective learning techniques

أخطاء تعلم اللغة العربية كلغة ثانية: تحليل لغوي واستراتيجيات التصحيح

Abstract

تتجلى أهمية دراسة أخطاء تعلم اللغة العربية في الحاجة إلى تحسين عملية تعلمها وجعلها أكثر فعالية وكفاءة. تشير الأخطاء التي يرتكبها المتعلمون إلى الصعوبات التي يواجهونها وتعكس تعقيد اللغة بالنسبة لهم. من هنا، يسعى البحث إلى تحليل هذه الأخطاء وتحديد أسبابها واقتراح استراتيجيات لتجاوزها، مما يساهم في تحسين البرامج التعليمية. فرضيات البحث: تأثير اللغة الأم: يؤثر تأثير اللغة الأم بشكل كبير على الأخطاء الشائعة بين المتعلمين، مما يؤدي إلى صعوبات في النطق، القواعد، والمفردات. التغذية الراجعة: توفر التغذية الراجعة المباشرة وغير المباشرة تحسينًا ملحوظًا في تصحيح الأخطاء وتعزيز فهم القواعد. أسئلة البحث: ما هي الأخطاء الشائعة التي يرتكبها متعلمو اللغة العربية في النطق، القواعد، المفردات، والكتابة؟ كيف يؤثر تأثير اللغة الأم على الأخطاء التي يرتكبها المتعلمون؟ ما هي استراتيجيات التصحيح الأكثر فعالية لتحسين أداء المتعلمين؟ منهجية البحث: يعتمد البحث على منهجية تحليلية تجمع بين النظرية والتطبيق. تشمل المنهجية جمع بيانات من الدراسات السابقة وأمثلة من الأخطاء الشائعة، وتحليل هذه البيانات باستخدام نظريات تعليم اللغة الثانية. سيتم تحليل تأثير اللغة الأم على تعلم العربية، واقتراح استراتيجيات تصحيحية. هيكل البحث: مقدمة: المطلب الأول: تعريف النظريات الرئيسية في تعلم اللغة الثانية وتحليل تأثيرها على تعليم اللغة العربية. المطلب الثاني: تحليل الأخطاء الشائعة في تعلم اللغة العربية، بما في ذلك النطق، القواعد، المفردات، والكتابة، وتحليل أسباب هذه الأخطاء. المطلب الثالث: استراتيجيات التصحيح والتعلم الفعال، مثل التغذية الراجعة والتعلم التفاعلي. الخاتمة: عرض أهم النتائج والتوصيات لتحسين تعليم اللغة العربية.

İkinci Dil Olarak Arapça Öğrenmede Hatalar: Dilbilimsel Analiz ve Düzeltme Stratejileri

Abstract

Arapça öğrenme hatalarının incelenmesinin önemi, öğrenme sürecini daha etkili ve verimli hale getirme ihtiyacından kaynaklanmaktadır. Öğrenenler tarafından yapılan hatalar, karşılaştıkları zorlukları göstermekte ve dilin onlar için karmaşıklığını yansıtmaktadır. Bu araştırma, bu hataları analiz etmeyi, nedenlerini belirlemeyi ve bu zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için stratejiler önermeyi amaçlamakta, bu da eğitim programlarının geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Araştırma Hipotezleri: Ana Dil Etkisi: Ana dilin etkisi, öğrenenler arasında yaygın hatalar üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir ve bu durum telaffuz, dil bilgisi ve kelime bilgisi konusunda zorluklara yol açmaktadır. Geri Bildirim: Doğrudan ve dolaylı geri bildirim, hataların düzeltilmesinde ve kuralların anlaşılmasının pekiştirilmesinde gözle görülür bir iyileşme sağlar. Araştırma Soruları: Arapça öğrenenlerin telaffuz, dil bilgisi, kelime bilgisi ve yazımda yaptıkları yaygın hatalar nelerdir? Ana dilin etkisi, öğrenenlerin yaptığı hataları nasıl etkiler? Öğrenenlerin performansını iyileştirmek için en etkili düzeltme stratejileri nelerdir? Araştırma Yöntemi: Araştırma, teori ve pratiği birleştiren analitik bir yönteme dayanmaktadır. Yöntem, önceki çalışmalardan ve yaygın hatalardan örnekler toplayarak, bu verileri ikinci dil öğretim teorileri kullanarak analiz etmeyi içerir. Ana dilin Arapça öğrenimi üzerindeki etkisi analiz edilecek ve düzeltme stratejileri önerilecektir. Araştırma Yapısı: Giriş: Birinci Bölüm: İkinci dil öğreniminde ana teorilere giriş ve bu teorilerin Arapça öğretimi üzerindeki etkisinin analizi. İkinci Bölüm: Telaffuz, dil bilgisi, kelime bilgisi ve yazım dahil olmak üzere Arapça öğreniminde yaygın hataların analizi ve bu hataların nedenlerinin analizi. Üçüncü Bölüm: Geri bildirim ve etkileşimli öğrenme gibi düzeltme stratejileri ve etkili öğrenme. Sonuç: Arapça öğretiminin iyileştirilmesi için ana bulguların ve önerilerin sunumu
