Wagdi Rashad Ali Bin-Hady; Arif Ahmed Mohammed Hassan Al-Ahdal; Samia Khalifa Abdullah – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2024
Purpose: English as a foreign langauge (EFL) students find it difficult to apply the theoretical knowledge they acquire on translation in the practical world. Therefore, this study explored if training in pretranslation techniques (PTTs) (syntactic parsing) as suggested by Almanna (2018) could improve the translation proficiency of Yemeni EFL…

Naila Tallas-Mahajna; Esther Dromi – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
Given the rich bound morphology of Spoken Arabic, an attempt was made here to construct a developmental measure corresponding to the mean length utterance (MLU) in English and to morpheme-per-utterance (MPU) in Hebrew. The adaptation to Arabic resulted in a new measurement termed Arabic-MPU, that was experimentally tested on a sample of 98…
