Research questions
1- What are the most common errors In Arabic speaker learning English writing?
2- What are the sources of these errors?

The literature review should include background studies for the reason of these errors, for example, transfer of L1.
The research is a case study done on an Arabic speaking ESL learner. It was done in 6 session over a period of 6 weeks. The participant has trouble in definite articles, indifinite articles, and with transitions. She received explicit instruction and direct feedback from the instructor during wirting her homework. We are measuring her process by looking at a sample of her homework writing before the instruction \”the treatment\” and comparing it to her last writing of homework after the treatment. A T-test needs to be done to comapre bewtween her score before treatment and after for each item individually \”Definite article, Indifinte article, transisions\”. The score is based on ommition and commition of the errors. The ratio should be out of 100. . An analaysis of variable test should be done too. There should be a progress in her use of indifinite articles but not on definite articles or transisions.
