An Investigation into the factors influencing Arabic speaking students’ proficiency in the Arabic language in Dubai British School by AL AHMAD, ALAAEDDIN MEHY

“…The primary findings of the study are that while all the students’ proficiency was negatively influenced by the factor of language variation of the Arabic language, such an influence was felt more by the students in the British schools. This is likely due to the difference in linguistic environment experienced by the students in the British schools, relative to those in the Arabic schools, and which this study significantly correlated with decreased proficiency. …”
