Anadili olmayanların dil derslerinde kısa Arapça hikayelerin kullanımına yönelik tutumları

Bu çalışma, Arap olmayan öğrencilerin Malezya'daki üniversitelerde Arapça kısa öykü okumaya yönelik tutumlarını üç değişkene odaklanarak incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır: öğrencilerin üniversitesi, cinsiyeti ve ana dili. Bir anket ve 58 katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış odak grup tartışması kullanılarak karma yöntem yaklaşımı kullanıldı. Çalışma, öğrencilerin kısa öykü okumaya karşı olumlu tutumları olduğunu ortaya çıkardı. Katılımcıların tutumları arasında üniversite türü, cinsiyet ve anadiline göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık yoktur. Öğrencilerin tercih ettiği kısa öykü türlerine göre çizgi romanlar en çok öğrenciler tarafından okunmuştur. Son olarak, öğrenciler ayrıca Arapça dil becerilerini geliştirmek için kısa hikayeler kullanmayı çok teşvik edici ve destekleyici buldular.
