Using Machine Translation (MT) for vocabulary acquisition is an inevitable phenomenon among Arabic-speaking L2 learners. But has MT fully succeeded in replacing traditional dictionaries and providing ideal tool learners? This study aimed to research the value implications of using machine translation acquisition. The significant as it investigates a neglected area teaching second language focus...

The system is intended for question/answer communication between an English-speaking operator and an Arabic-speaking subject. It uses speech recognition to convert a spoken English question into text, and plays out a pre-recorded spe...

We study ergodic Sym(N)-invariant probability measures on the space of L-structures with domain N. We call such measures “ergodic structures”. In particular, we are interested in the properly ergodic case, in which no isomorphism class has measure 1. A Morley–Scott analysis shows that proper ergodicity can always be explained by a splitting of measure over continuum-many types in a countable fr...

This research is based on the problem of morphological and syntactical first language interference which often overlooked in second learning.
