Abstract:

Despite the status of Arabic as a global language and the high demand to learn
it, the field of Arabic second language acquisition remains
under-investigated. Second language acquisition findings are crucial for
informing and advancing the field of Arabic foreign language pedagogy
including its teaching, testing, and syllabus design. 

Arabic Second Language Learning and Effects of Input, Transfer, and Typology
provides data-driven empirical findings of a number of basic and
high-frequency morphosyntactic structures with novel typological language
pairings: Arabic second language acquisition data from adult L1 Chinese and L1
Russian speaking learners of Arabic as a foreign language. It examines the
different processes, hypotheses, and acquisition tendencies from the two
learner groups. Alhawary’s study documents the extent of the successes and
challenges faced by such learners during their L2 Arabic grammatical
development during the first three years of learning the language. In
addition, it integrates previously published findings with new ones and offers
both theoretical and practical implications related to input exposure, L1 and
L2 transfer, and typological and structural proximity. 

The book serves as a resource book for both second language acquisition
experts and foreign language teaching practitioners.
