Subject: Error Analysis Response

Dear Robert,

I am an Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics in the English
Department at Bethlehem University. I did my PH.D. on Error
Evaluation at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
(1981-1984). I published a summary article in the TESOL Quarterly in
1985. I have been teaching an Error Analysis course to
Arabic-spealing Palestinian students majoring in English. Two years
ago I wrote a textbook on Error Analyis two years ago. It is still a
manuscript. I have collected thousands of errors made by school
learners of English.

I have writtn a textbook entitled A Contrastive Grammar of English
and Arabic, which I have using for a Contrastive LInguistics courses
offered to English majors with a minor in English-Arabic translation.
In fact I wrote during a sabbatical at the University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor. I got  Fulbright scholarship during that year. The book is
used at other Palestinian universities and some universities in
Jordan. I have revised the textbook and I am planning to submit
the revised erition to a publishing company in Jordan, most probably
by the end of this month.

I would like to know more about what you actually need the textbook
for. Do you teach Arabic-speaking EFL learners? Are you doing
research on EA?

I am planning to apply for a Fulbright to spend my sabbatical in the
US next year (2000-2001). I will write to different universities to
ge a letter of invitation to spend the sabbatical year there.

Please let me know how I can be of further assistance to you.
