IT terminology, translation, and semiotic levels
This research tackles computer linguistic terminology used incorrectly or ambiguously by Arab computer users in academic institutions and by English-to-Arabic translators. To serve the purpose of this research, we inserted and/or contextualized a number of computer linguistic terms in texts or contexts. The terms are computer signs and words loaded with technical meanings that are often used in word processing and statistical software packages. F…
Medical rhetoric
THE AIM of this paper is to study the rhetorical use of tense and voice in research writing undertaken in both English and Arabic medical research. Six reports (three by native speakers of English, three by native speakers of Arabic) were analysed, all being typical of texts containing functional information. Moreover, several medical prescriptions were also analysed. The analysis showed important differences between medical English and medical A…
Private tuition in English
An account from Jordan of an ‘elitist’ phenomenon that is spreading elsewhere in Asia. This study explores the reasons and conditions which have recently led a substantial number of families to hire private tutors of English for their sons and/or daughters studying science and technology through English in Jordanian state universities
Writing Errors

The same appears to be the case in other Arab countries. Accordingly, the central aims of this paper are to investigate writing skills in the two languages involved, English and Arabic, and to see whether there is an association between poor writing acros…
The role of chunks, phrases and body language in understanding co-ordinated academic lectures
Semantic economy of wording in English and Arabic
The major aim of this paper is to show the economy of wording in Arabic translation. In Jordan and most other Middle East countries, Arabic is the first language and English is the foreign or second language. In Jordan the official newspaper ‘Jordan Times’ conveys news in English translated from Arabic. The author noticed variation in the length of paragraphs in Arabic and English and investigated this feature. Five professional translators trans…
ESP after thirty years
In the view of many ESP practitioners and thinkers, the year 1962 has increasingly been considered the year which marks the birth of ESP, the son of ELT (see.for example, Swales 1985: 1-3). The year 1992 could mark the thirtieth birthday of ESP which is a good opportunity to reconsider the sttus of ESP, which is arquably now. The article of Barber (1962) 'Some measurable characteristics of modern scientific prose? indicated clearly the birth of E…
