Jordan has made the decision to go from in-person instruction to online classes utilizing a variety of programs, including WhatsApp, Teams, and Zoom. During the pandemic, students used YouTube to learn and comprehend English. This study examines how watching YouTube videos affects students' English language proficiency and contrasts it with lectures delivered by professors through Zoom and WhatsApp. Additionally, it illustrates the challenges of using YouTube videos for online learning as well as possible solutions. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers use qualitative and quantitative method to be applied on 100 fourth-year college students from the department of English language and literature, College of Education, Yarmouk University.

However, when one looks in detail at high school student's writing experience in Jordan, we find that it has been mainly at the sentence level. Students enter universities with little or no experience in producing paragraphs or essays. The university task is to take students through the tedious process of paragraph and essay writing (Markline &Issacson 1987, Reid & Lidstorm 1985, Silva 1990, Fawset & Sandberg 1996, etc). Cognitive maturity is, yet, a metalinguistic problem that teachers have to take into consideration in teaching writing (Flavell 1985, Devine &Boshoff 1993, Kasper 1998). This paper aims at investigating some problems at both the micro and the macro levels of texts produced by Arab EFL learners. At the micro level the study will be limited to the problem of lexis and lexical choice. At the macro level the study will high light problems related to run-on ...

The present paper raises the issue of the existence of gay community in the Arab world. On the basis of empirical investigations, field-direct and indirect observations, interviews as well as random questionnaire, we hypothesize that there exists a gay speech community in (at least in the studied countries) the Arab world for we investigate and determine its social and linguistic dimensions. This lead us to find out the discursive criteria which characterize modes of gay-speak that are part of their identity. After comparing them to women’s talk, we assume, however, that in spite of this high rate of assimilation in language behavior at the phonological, lexical, and even gestural ones, gays cannot be defined as “women” nor can they be classified as a separate gender or third sex (as other studies claim).
