Abstract

The present study aimed at developing the grammatical concepts among the non-native learners of Arabic language (level A-2), by using a suggested strategy based on Infographic. A test of the grammatical concepts has been developed and was administered as a pre-testing. The sample consisted of 14 male and female learners at Nile Education Centre for Teaching Arabic to Non-Native in Cairo.The pre-testing showed that the learners'' level in grammatical concepts was low; therefore there was a need for developing teacher's handbook in this respect. The study sample was divided into two groups. The test was applied again as a post-testing. The findings showed that there were statistically significant differences at 0.05 between the scores ranks of the control group and the experimental one, in favour of the latter, on the grammatical concepts test. This indicates that the suggested strategy was effective in developing the grammatical concepts among the non-native learners of Arabic language (level A-2), by using a suggested strategy based on Infographic.
