Emphasis spread in Arabic
This study examines emphasis spread (ES) in Urban Jordanian Arabic (UJA), focusing on the phonological and phonetic mechanisms that govern its direction and domain. Emphasis, realized through tongue root retraction, affects both consonants and vowels and can propagate bidirectionally within the phonological word. Using autosegmental phonology, feature geometry, and Optimality Theory (OT), this research identifies coronal emphatics (/tʕ, dʕ, sʕ, ð…
The Impact of AI-Assisted Tools on Enhancing the Quality of Legal Translation Outputs
This study seeks to examine the effects of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted tools (ChatGPT and DeepL) on the quality of legal translation outputs by Jordanian undergraduates. As legal translation necessitates a high degree of specificity, context, and accuracy in the utilization of terminology, the following research will explore whether AI can help students accomplish this requirement. To achieve the research objective, a case st…
Exploring the impact of digital scaffolding on collaborative writing practices
This study investigates the impact of modern technological tools, specifically the Framapad online word processor and the Moodle platform, on collaborative writing among second language (L2) students in Algerian universities. The study involved 24 third-year French as a second language students, divided into a control (GT) and experimental (GE) group, each comprising three subgroups. The data were analysed in two phases: initial and revision. Ini…

Data was collected through a questionnaire completed by 49 EFL instructors, supplemented by five one-to-one semi-structured interviews with participants from the questionnaire. The results d…
Functions of Discourse Markers in Nonnative English Speech
This study examines the use and functions of discourse markers (DMs) in nonnative English speech produced by Arab English speakers. Four DMs (and, but, so, y'know) are analysed based on two theoretical frameworks: Schiffrin's (1987) framework of functions of DMs and Schourup's (1999) characterisation of DMs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 Arab English speakers. The findings show clear patterns in the participants' use of DMs. T…
Assessment purposes and methods used by EFL teachers in secondary schools in Jordan
This study examines the purposes and methods of classroom-based assessment (CBA) used by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in secondary schools in Jordan. The study data was collected through an online questionnaire that surveyed 54 participants and follow-up semi-structured interviews with three teachers. The questionnaire data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive statistics, while the interviews were transcribed and coded for recu…
Functions of L1 Use in EFL Classes
This study aims to identify functions (Note 1) of teachers’ first language (L1) use in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes in public schools in Jordan based on students’ observations. The questionnaire items were selected based on the most common uses of L1 in second language (L2) classrooms as identified in the literature. The questionnaire was designed to elicit students’ observations to identify functions of EFL teachers’ L1 in English…
