Jaber, Maisa Saadi; Daana, Hana Asaad – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2020
It is agreed that, if instruction in mathematics takes place in the students' first language, understanding abstract concepts and ideas in that subject can be challenging for them. However, many Jordanian students must master mathematics only via a second language or side by side with mastering it in Arabic, depending on their school system. The…
