Attitudes and Cultural Backgrounds and Their Relationship to English in a Multicultural Social Context: The Case of Male and Female Arab Immigrants in Canada.

Peer reviewed

Abu-Rabia, Salim – Educational Psychology: An International Journal of Experimental Educational Psychology, 1995

The students did just as well or better reading stories with no Arabic content. The study also found significant differences in the learning strategies of male and female Arab students. (MJP)
