Essay / The Importance of Grammar in English - 1854
Arabic has letters quite different from the letters of English. The teacher will have to start from scratch to enable learners to have a clear foundation on the basic alphabets. As I know, phonetics is a major topic in English. Arabic contains the use of symbols that can change the meaning of one word to another. This also applies to English grammar. The tutor could use this to explain to learners the use of symbols to change the meaning of some of these words. The tone reflex in English to evoke differences in the meaning of different phrases or words is the same in Arabic intonations. They may not be quite the same, but they do exactly the same thing. In the same breath, certain words can be used in two different contexts to give two different meanings. For example, "Magazine" in English means a thin book with a paper cover that contains stories, but in Arabic it means storage. Through these methods, I learned that I should explain more about the context of the English language. This will help me better understand the simplest forms of writing and reading English. My teacher took the trouble to step aside to facilitate learning Arabic in relation to grammar. As a teacher, it is important to study grammar as well as determine the best methods to teach grammar to my students and help them move from known Arabic to unknown English.
