The study investigated the impact of age and gender on the use of impoliteness strategies deduced from the use of metaphorical expressions of stupidity and stubbornness in Jordanian Spoken Arabic (JSA). The data has been collected through a Discourse Completion Task (DCT), which consisted of 20 situations related to stupidity and stubbornness. The participants of the study were 200 Jordanian males and females whose ages ranged between 20-65-year-old. The study adopted Culpeper's (1996) model as a theoretical framework to analyze the data. The findings showed that the most frequently used strategy is positive impoliteness while the least used strategy is sarcasm among male and female speakers. It was also found out that younger speakers outperformed the other age ranges of speakers in the use of impoliteness strategies. Jordanian elderly female speakers used the positive output strategies more than males in JSA, whereas middle age speakers used these strategies the least.

This study examined the level of social communication problems, social anxiety, and mood problems among children with ASD (age 6-13 years) enrolled in special classes (n=46) and regular classes (n=36) from teachers' point of view in the schools of a part of Palestine. Teachers responded to three questionnaires - social communication problems, social anxiety and mood problems- that were used to answer the research questions. Results: social communication problems, social anxiety and mood problems were of medium rates for students with ASD enrolled in reguler and special classes. No significant differences in the level of social communication problems could be attributed to class type (Regular, Special) or the grade level-(1st – 3rd, 4th - 6th). There were significant differences in social anxiety levels that could be attributed to grade level in favor of the 4th - 6th grades but there were no significant differences according to class type (Regular, Special). There were statistically significant differences in mood problems levels that could be attributed to the class type in favor of special classes, but no differences were found according to grade level. There was a direct significant relationship between communication problems, social anxiety, and mood problems. Conclusion: social communication problems may be an important risk factor for the development of social anxiety and mood problems among students with ASD.

The study aimed to adapt Kember scale of reflective thinking to Jordanian context, and to extract the indicators of validity and reliability of the scale, the study sample consisted of (1065) male and female students, namely, (548) male and (517) female students from sixth, eighth and tenth grades from Amman, they were reached by social media after the coordination with school managers and teachers, where the scale was distributed on the social media sites of a number of schools in Amman city. To achieve the aim of this study, the Kember, et al. (2000) scale of reflective thinking has been translated, the scale contains four dimensions: Habitual behavior, understanding, reflection, and critical reflection. The indications of validity were extracted through two ways, face validity, and construct validity by calculating Pearson correlation coefficients between the items and the total degree on each dimension, whereas, indicators of reliability were also extracted by means of test re-test, and Cronbach’s Alpha methods. Further, the results showed differences in reflective thinking performance due to students’ academic achievement, whereas, they showed no differences due to gender differences nor grade differences.

The study aimed to verify the effectiveness of a teaching-learning program in regulating emotions based on the Gross model on social competence of students in the tenth grade in Amman. The study sample consisted of (47) students from Othman Bin Affan Basic School affiliated to the Directorate of Education for the District of the Kasbah of Amman. The students were intentionally chosen and randomly distributed into two groups: an experimental group and a control group.To achieve the objectives of the study, the program was built based on the Gross Model of Emotion Regulation, and the social competency scale which was developed by Lafi (2017) was used on four dimensions (social skills, self-control, academic skills and social compatibility) after assuring its validity and reliability.The results showed statistical significance at the level of significance (α ≤ .05) between the two groups in favor of the experimental group in all dimensions of the scale due to the Gross model-based emotion regulation educational program. The study recommended that this programme be implemented by teachers, counselors, and scholars in order to increase students’ social competence.

The present study investigates the phonological processes involved in the nativization process of English consonants onto Standard Arabic and provides an account of such processes within Optimality Theory (OT). Specifically, the merits of the analysis shed light on the consonantal alterations attested in Standard Arabic loanword corpus by the examination of the adequate phonological adjustment mechanisms used in the integration process of English consonants within OT. The study reveals that several phonological processes are attested, namely: voicing, devoicing, emphasization, affrication and deaffrication, uvularization, fronting and metathesis. In addition, results have stressed the role of both markedness and the phonological distinctive features of natural classes on the integration process. The study reveals that the consonantal alterations attested are grounded on the domination of the markedness constraints, which condition rendering the output less marked in SA, over the faithfulness constraints, which exert effort in preserving the output faithful to the input.
本研究调查了英语辅音在标准阿拉伯语中的本土化过程所涉及的语音过程,并在最优化理论(OT)中对这一过程进行了解释。具体地说,通过研究 OT 中英语辅音整合过程中使用的适当语音调整机制,分析的优点揭示了标准阿拉伯语借词语料中证实的辅音变化。研究表明,有几种语音过程得到了证实,即:发声、去声、强调、缀合和去缀合、元音化、前置和合成。此外,研究结果还强调了自然类的标记性和语音特征对整合过程的作用。研究表明,所证实的辅音变化是以标记性约束为基础的,而忠实性约束则努力使输出忠实于输入。
