Those words may not be my…
listen to a story before they began reading. The authors suggest that this strategy helps with students comprehending the information.

Syntax, continued: In paper 2, it was hypothesized that in Jordanian Arabic the basic word order is identical to that of English and accordingly the differences observed between the order of English and Arabic sentences could be attributed to differences in the movement of constituents…
speaking skills aren’t as developed as their fathers, but they can still understand a good majority of the Taidam language. Even though they can speak in sentences and are capable of holding conversations with relatives, they aren’t able to say every word or phrase (Baccam). Kham’s oldest daughter, JoJo, states, “Being the oldest, I know how to speak and I understand more than my younger siblings, but since I didn’t grow up in the Taidam Village or strictly speak Taidam in the household,…
