Öğe Exploring process 'verbs' in EFL postgraduates' citations: A Systemic Functional Linguistics approach(Indonesia University of Education, 2019) Jomaa, N.J.; Bidin, S.J.Due to their significance in establishing a research background, citations have been under focus by several researchers. However, limited studies have applied the Functional Theory in analysing reporting verbs in citations. Hence, this study identifies citations in the literature review chapters of 20 PhD theses in Information Technology and Applied Linguistics by EFL postgraduates within the ESL context. These PhD theses were selected purposefully. This study explores qualitatively the processes based on the ideational metafunction of the Systemic Functional Linguistics. The findings show that the material processes were used dominantly, followed by relational, verbal, and mental processes, whereas the behavioural processes were less used. The use of processes 'verbs' is influenced by field and tenor as register variables. Thus, the findings imply that EFL postgraduates are unaware of using processes; therefore, they should receive discipline-specific instructions. Pedagogical textbooks for academic writing could be also developed based on the outputs of the present study. © 2018, IJAL.Öğe The impact of synchronous collaborative writing and Google Docs collaborative features on enhancing students’ individual writing performance(Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, 2022) Alwahoub, H.M.; Jomaa, N.J.; Azmi, M.N.L.Collaborative writing has gained researchers’ attention due to its efficiency in enhancing students’ writing abilities compared to traditional writing. More recently, more emphasis has been on computer-based versions of collaborative writing because of the introduction of Web 2.0 and other cloud-based writing tools, such as Google Docs and Wikis, especially at the tertiary level. However, there is still a dearth of research regarding synchronous collaborative writing in mainstream K-12 classes. Therefore, this quasi-experimental quantitative study aims to investigate the impact of synchronous collaborative writing on developing fourth-grade EFL students’ writing. The data were collected from the pre-tests and the post-tests of 49 students in a technology-supportive K-12 school in Riyadh-Saudi Arabia and were analyzed using independent samples t-test via SPSS version 23. The analysis of individual writing performance in the pre and post-tests revealed that the total mean scores of the Content, Language use, and Organisation measurements increased in both the experimental group, after experiencing collaborative writing using Google Docs, and the control group, who used traditional pen-and-paper writing. In addition, significant differences existed in the three writing tasks (Narrative, Argumentative, and Informative) in the post-test scores of the experimental group as well as in the post-test scores between the groups, with the experimental group scoring higher than the traditional writing group. However, no significant difference was revealed between the pre and post-test scores of the control group. In addition, it was found that the task type variable plays a vital role in collaborative writing. These findings are significant for both educators and students in implementing computer-based collaborative writing in mainstream classes and for researchers who are interested in web-based education and E-learning. © 2022.

All Rights Reserved.Öğe Linguistic errors across languages: A case study of Turkish students(IGI Global, 2022) Jomaa, N.J.; Dersevi, S.Pedagogically, the issue of linguistic errors in writing is highly significant. Therefore, this study aims at exploring the gender differences in committing linguistic errors by Turkish students in English and Arabic at Karabuk University in Turkey. The sampling included selecting purposefully 80 essays written in English and Arabic. The 40 English essays belong to 20 male and 20 female students from the Department of English Language and Literature at the university. Similarly, the 40 Arabic essays belong to 20 male and 20 female students from the Department of Arabic Language at the same university. The findings showed that male and female Turkish students are similar in using 'concord' with the highest frequencies of errors in English, but the frequency of using other errors is different. In contrast, male and female Turkish students are varied in the errors in Arabic. The findings also revealed that male and female Turkish students in both Arabic and English languages showed a similarity in the types of errors, namely substitution and omission as the most frequent ones. © 2022, IGI Global.Öğe Perspectives of students and teachers towards developing speaking skills by using technology among efl iraqi students(IGI Global, 2023) Jomaa, N.J.; Nahedh, Kamal, M.The study aims at investigating Iraqi instructors' perspectives and current techniques of using smartphones with the intention of boosting Iraqi learners' speaking skills, linking the perceptions with activities according to Iraqi teachers. The study was conducted in four Universities (University of Baghdad, Al-Mustansiriya University, Iraqia University, and Al-Ma'moun University) targeting the Department of English Language. The data were analyzed using SPSS v. 22. The findings revealed that smart devices are widely utilized in university English classes. Teachers enable students to use them freely during lectures to look up material. It is a normal practice to instruct pupils to utilize their gadgets both in classes and at home. Overall, the instructors believed the application of smartphones to be beneficial in the teaching of English, and the study includes several instances. Easy and rapid access to information, valuable learning tools, and the capacity to effortlessly produce and share data are just a few of the benefits of mobile devices in education.
