Text Organization and Transfer: The Case of Arab ESL Learners.

Fakhri, Ahmed

IRAL, v32 n1 p78-86 1994

Explored the hypothesis that Arab learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) transfer Arabic text organization features into their English writing by examining essays written by 30 Arab ESL students and 30 non-Arab ESL students. The results indicated little evidence of transfer in either group. Implications for further research are discussed. (MDM)
