The aim of the current research is to develop the skills of creative written expression among middle school pupils (linguistically gifted preparatory first grade pupils) through a strategy based on contextualism theory. To achieve the aim of the research، the researchers followed both the descriptive approach and the experimental one-group approach. The research group consisted of a group of linguistically gifted first-grade pupils، whose number reached (37) male and female pupils، where they were selected according to the tools of detection and identification of gifted pupils identified in the current research. The two researchers prepared a List of characteristics of linguistically gifted students، a list of creative writing expression skills suitable for first grade linguistically gifted preparatory pupils، and tested creative writing expression skills for first grade linguistically gifted intermediate pupils. The teacher's guide on creative expression topics was prepared according to the proposed contextualism-based strategy، and the student's book on creative expression topics according to the proposed contextual-based strategy. The research concluded the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in developing creative writing expression skills at the level of (fluency - flexibility - originality). Where the differences were statistically significant at a level of significance (0.01) in favor of the post application in the test of creative writing for first-grade intermediate pupils who were linguistically gifted، and the size of the impact of the strategy was large. In light of the results of the current research، the research recommended the following: - Carrying out more studies concerned with creative written expression and developing his skills، as well as including the detection of language errors in creative written expression. - Use modern strategies in teaching expression، and raise the efficiency of teachers by holding periodic courses for them on how to use these strategies. - Attention to the areas of creative written expression that concern students، or relate to their lives، and present them to them. - Arabic language books include some topics of creative written expression. - Giving the share of expression adequate attention from the Ministry of Education، and explaining the importance of expression in their lives.

There are also statistically significant differences at the level (0.01) of significance, between the pre and post evaluation regarding argument evaluation, interpretation and inference skills in favor of the post evaluation. Differences were significant in identifying the hypotheses and deviations at the level of (0.05) in favor of the post-evaluation. Finally, it became clear that statistically significant differences at a level of significance less than (0.05) exist between the pre and post evaluations in favor of the post-evaluation of critical thinking skills.

In the late 1950s, Iraqi Jews were either forced or chose to leave Iraq for Israel. Finding it impossible to continue writing in Arabic in Israel, many Iraqi Jewish novelists faced the literary challenge of switching to Hebrew. Focusing on the literary works of the writers Shimon Ballas, Sami Michael and Eli Amir, this book examines their use of their native Iraqi Arabic in their Hebrew works. It examines the influence of Arabic language and culture and explores questions of language, place and belonging from the perspective of sociolinguistics and multilingualism. In addition, the book applies stylistics as a framework to investigate the range of linguistic phenomena that can be found in these exophonic texts, such as code-switching, borrowing, language and translation strategies. This new stylistic framework for analysing exophonic texts offers a future model for the study of other languages. The social and political implications of this dilemma, as it finds expression in creative writing, are also manifold. In an age of mass migration and population displacement, the conflicted loyalties explored in this book through the prism of Arabic and Hebrew are relevant in a range of linguistic contexts.

This paper presents a smartphone application game that aims to increase the awareness of preschoolers on renewable energy. The age of the selected preschoolers is in the range of 4-6 years. The game is called DAYSAM, and it aims to increase awareness regarding photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines, mini-hydropower stations, energy efficiency, and risks that polar bears are facing. The game provides two superior features compared to other available games in Arabic language, targeting the same age group. Preschoolers from An-Najah Child Institute are selected to play this game to investigate the impact of this game. The preschoolers’ awareness is tested before and after playing the game using coloring sheets in an unsupervised coloring process. The results show that the proposed game has increased preschooler’s awareness of renewable energy. Before playing the game, none of the preschoolers recognized images like the photovoltaic array or the wind turbine. After playing the game the preschoolers recognized these devices in different situations and shapes. This indicates that such a game can be used as a fun and educational tool in nurseries that have Arabic communication medium to increase awareness of renewable energy.
