The effectiveness of a program based on the introduction of writing processes in developing the performance of writing skills among learners of Arabic who speak other languages

Abstract

The research aimed to develop a list of appropriate writing skills among learners, create a proposed program based on the writing processes approach to enhance learners' writing skills, and measure the effectiveness of this program. To achieve these objectives, the researcher used descriptive-analytical and quasi-experimental methodologies. The researcher arrived at a list of writing skills performance, consisting of three basic skills from which eleven sub-skills emerged. The percentage of learners demonstrating writing skills was (43.2%), which is equivalent to a "weak" rating. The results showed statistically significant differences at the (0.05) level between the mean scores of the research sample in the pre-test and post-test of writing skills performance, in favor of the post-test. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found at the (0.05) level between the mean scores of the research sample in each of the skills of construction, accuracy, and organization in the pre-test and post-test, again in favor of the post-test. This confirms the effectiveness of the program based on the writing processes approach in developing learners' writing skills performance.
