Abstract This field study on a group of non-native Arabic learners studying at the Language Center at the University of Jordan from beginner to intermediate levels, aims to highlight the main difficulties facing the students in the course of learning how to write Arabic correctly and how to distinguish between the sounds of letters and short vowels. The attempt to turn the pronounced sound into a written letter is something that occurs mostly while writing the points and vowels. If we go back to the syntactic khalilian ideas, we find that points are semi-letters and this can be achieved easily by non-speakers of Arabic. However, it’s difficult for beginners to distinguish between the long and the short points in the single word, and secondly, in the sentence. A student who did not learn the written form of the word may confuse the word "جَلَسَ"with "جالس", while others may think it to be"جالاس". Others may confuse the word"جالِس" with"جاليس"، "جليس" or "جَلِس".The reason why beginners make such mistakes is that during the early stages of teaching the sound of the short vowel is often accentuated. This results in students often exaggerating the short vowel point by giving it a bigger dimension and expressing it with a long vowel. When learners hear words in a fast-pronounced context; they think that the long vowels are short vowels, such as the word "كتاب" they think it "كِتَب"and "كتابة"or as "كِتَبَة", or may think the word"قَلَمٌ"as"قلام"، "قلامُن"، "قَلَمُن"،or "قلامون"This research emphasizes on the importance of teaching writing as one of the four skills upon which the language is acquired as well as the other skills; listening, reading, and conversation. Writing is a productive skill indicates the student has learned the best representation at the level of all that is true to the language and all that is below that in the lexicon and grammar, spelling and sound levels.

Colour is an integral part of human life. In the Qur'ān, Allah (is the Almighty One) uses the words of al-lawn and alwān to describe the life on this earth which is consisted of the variety of colours. However, the meaning of al-lawn in the Arabic language is not limited to the purpose of colour, but it also means the form or type. The aim of this study is to examine the using of word al-lawn and Alwān in the Qur'ān by collecting the verses which are containing these words either in the form of the single word ( لون ) or plural word ( ألوان ) in the Qur'ān. Then, these verses will be analyzed by referring to the books of tafsir to see the interpretation of this word in the context of each verse. The study found that the words of al-lawn or Alwān in the Qur’ān partially means only the colours itself, and the other verses mean the form or the type. Hence, this research is expected to provide a better understanding to the society in terms of using of the words lawn or alwān in the Qu’ran which brings different meaning in the context of different verses of the Qur’ān.

Reading and writing performance was observed in 30 adult aphasic patients to determine whether there was a significant difference when stimuli and manual responses were varied in the written form: cursive versus manuscript. Patients were asked to read aloud 10 words written cursively and 10 words written in manuscript form. They were then asked to write on dictation 10 word responses using cursive writing and 10 words using manuscript writing. Number of words correctly read, number of words correctly written, and number of letters correctly written in the proper sequence were tallied for both cursive and manuscript writing tasks for each patient. Results indicated no significant difference in correct response between cursive and manuscript writing style for these aphasic patients as a group; however, it was noted that individual patients varied widely in their success using one writing form over the other. It appeared that since neither writing form showed better facilitation of performance, the writing style used should be determined according to the individual patient’s own preference and best performance.
