Grammar efficacy and grammar performance: an exploratory study on Arabic learners

Previous research has clearly documented that self-efficacy in language learning positively affects students’ performance in acquiring language skills. While much research has studied grammar efficacy indirectly as part of writing efficacy, none of these focuses on Arabic language learning. Consider...

While much research has studied grammar efficacy indirectly as part of writing efficacy, none of these focuses on Arabic language learning. Considering the impact of self-efficacy on language learning, as well as the important role of grammar in Arabic learning, this study examines the relationship between grammar efficacy and grammar performance among students learning Arabic as a foreign language in Malaysian public universities. Specifically, it intends to determine the relationship between grammar efficacy and grammar performance among Arabic learners on three aspects: Correction of grammar errors, vocalization of words, and construction of sentences. Using a newly-developed questionnaire, this study showed a moderate correlation between grammar efficacy and grammar performance. Efficacy of sentence construction appeared to correlate the highest among the three aspects. Thus, teachers’ awareness on the importance of heightening students perceived confidence in accomplishing grammar tasks will eventually promote better learning among their students. 2013 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/35013/5/ITINERARY_ICLALIS_20132.pdf application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/35013/7/Slides%20ICLALIS%202013.pdf Mustapha, Nik Hanan and Mustapha, Nik Farhan (2013) Grammar efficacy and grammar performance: an exploratory study on Arabic learners.
