  • Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Science Gains from SEL Intervention in Arabic-Speaking Students

    Open AccessAhmad Basheer, Ibrahim A AsadiARTICLEJournal of Intelligence2026

    This experimental study investigated the impact of embedding social and emotional learning (SEL) in science instruction on the academic and social–emotional outcomes of Arabic-speaking sixth graders, including those with reading difficulties (RD). Children from two schools in northern Israel (n = 101) were randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which received SEL-enriched science lessons featuring collaborative, reflective activities …

  • Diglossia and Orthographic Complexity as Multiplicative but not Additive Challenges in Arabic

    Open AccessIbrahim A Asadi, Abeer Asli-BadarnehARTICLEJournal of Psycholinguistic…2026

    The present review explores how the unique linguistic and orthographic characteristics of Arabic interact to shape the development of literacy in Arabic. The review is based on a systematic synthesis of empirical studies published between 2000 and 2025, including behavioral, developmental, and neurocognitive research on reading, spelling, and comprehension among native Arabic speaking learners, conducted in line with PRISMA guidelines.

    Open AccessIbrahim A AsadiARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…2026

AIMS: This study investigated potential differences in the perceptions of SEL skills in Arabic and their relation to academic achievements. SAMPLE AND METHOD: Arabic-speaking students, their parents and …

  • The relations of SES and literacy-related oral and written language skills after one year of reading instruction – evidence from novice readers of Arabic

    Open AccessIbrahim A Asadi, Ronen Kasperski et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2024

    The relations between socioeconomic status (SES) and language skills at the onset of reading acquisition has not received much attention in research. In this study, a standardized battery of oral and written language tests was administered to 127 Arabic-speaking children at the end of first grade. SES-related differences were found in a line of oral language measures (vocabulary, syntax, morphology, and listening comprehension), but not in phonol…

  • Reading Comprehension in the Arabic Diglossia

    Open AccessIbrahim A Asadi, Ronen KasperskiARTICLEJournal of Psycholinguistic…2024Cited by: 1References: 44

    This study aimed to examine the validity of the "simple view of reading" (SVR) model in the diglossic Arabic language. Using a longitudinal design, we tested whether decoding and listening comprehension (LC) in kindergarten can later predict reading comprehension (RC) in the first grade and whether the contribution of LC to RC differs between the spoken and literary varieties of Arabic. The participants were 261 kindergartners who were followed t…

  • The impact of lexical and phonological distance on reading acquisition

    Open AccessAbeer Asli-Badarneh, Ibrahim A AsadiARTICLEJournal of Research in Reading2023

    Background Arabic is recognised as diglossic; one manifestation of diglossia is the co‐existence of two varieties of the language used in different social settings: standard (or literary) Arabic (StA) and spoken Arabic (SpA). The study investigated the impact of lexical–phonological distance in Arabic (identical, cognate, unique, which are different types of words) on reading accuracy and fluency across grade levels. Methods The participants were…

  • Role of Morphology in Visual Word Recognition

    Open AccessAsaid Khateb, Ibrahim A Asadi et al.ARTICLETheory and Practice in Language…2022

    Words in Semitic languages such as Arabic and Hebrew are composed of two interwoven morphemes: roots and word patterns (verbal and nominal). Studies exploring the organizing principles of the mental lexicon in Hebrew reported robust priming effects by roots and verbal patterns, but not by nominal patterns. In Arabic, prior studies have produced some inconsistent results. Using the eye-tracking methodology, this study investigated whether the Arab…
