Errors in English Among Arabic Speakers

Bibliography
& Citation


Kharma and Hajjaj (1989) describe characteristics of
conditional usage in writing by learners whose first language is Arabic. The
Type 1 conditional (
If + present + future) was the next most common form
they encountered. They state that it generally does not pose a problem for Arab
learners (Kharma and Hajjaj, p.138). This correlates with my experience in the
UAE where I have found upper elementary and lower intermediate learners quickly
demonstrate an ability to conceptualize and use the Type 1 conditional.
