Poor ability to read written texts is often the result of the lack
of books, references or stories in English in the school library or
at home or with vendors in libraries, or the lack of a suitable
book level for the age of the reader, and it may also be the
result of the student himself’s unwillingness to read Or as a
result of his encounter with a huge amount of difficult linguistic
vocabulary, which requires him to search the dictionary to find
its meanings, and reading aloud also depends on the student's
ability to pronounce the correct vocabulary of the language and
this is what many students fear, especially in reading lessons in
the classroom.
Reading is considered one of the most important skills in
acquiring any language. When learning a foreign language, the
focus on the skill of reading must be intensified for its
importance in building a solid foundation in learning and
practicing the language properly. Therefore, failure of the
learner in this basic skill will affect his ability to master the rest
of the skills related to the language.
The poor level of the student who is able to master the English
language in terms of reading, writing and speaking, which
hinders its learning and is due to the learner or the professor,
or to the community, so the student, while reading words,
phrases, sentences, or paragraphs in the English language, must
start from the idea that he does not There is a difference
between reading the text in Arabic or English and reading what
interests him, and he who could not understand and
comprehend can use dictionaries and glossaries, because
reading with understanding requires weeks of practice , In
addition to the results obtained by the researcher from this
study, which show the extent of the influence of the Arabic
language with the nature of its simple reading on the way the
English language is read, as well as the apparent lack of
understanding the foundations of the phonemic system of the
English language, the researcher recommended the necessity
to inform students when learning English about orthography
and its rules Their early school years so that they understand
the complex system of English phonics at an early stage. Also,
identifying weaknesses in reading will benefit language
professors in avoiding these problems in the future and
working to solve them, so that university students grow up on
sound foundations when learning the English language.
Previous studies :
The researcher did not find previous studies that dealt with the
issue of difficulties in learning the English language directly,
which made them touch on the following studies : Researcher
Kitao (1994) discussed reading problems in the English
language, and referred these problems to textbooks. He also
discussed the effect of teaching methods on reading
effectiveness and active reading. He found that students could
not understand texts, or do summaries of what they read. The
researcher indicated that there is a high correlation between
reading ability and speed. He emphasized that properly
organized or prepared reading texts that are appropriate for
learning objectives in the classroom are what is required, and
he also requested that students be encouraged to read
independently.
Methodology :
Conclusion :
Languages are the primary means of acquiring knowledge and
developing it, and language for the child is the tool on which he
relies on communicating with the environment and gaining
direct experiences. So his mastery of it in his early years was of
great importance from an educational point of view; And since
the English language is a prescribed subject for the student, we
have to review the beginning of its learning, with the choice of
English language teachers with care and keenness in the aspect
of writing, reading, linguistic and rhetorical construction skills
to convey information to students with ease so that it is easy
for them to digest, without trouble and hardship.
