Abstract

This study aimed to identify the morphological errors made by Arabic language learners who are native speakers of other languages while learning the ten Arabic verb forms (weights). The study employed a quantitative approach to achieve its objectives. The study sample was conveniently selected and consisted of 123 third and fourth-year students majoring in Arabic language studies at the College of Languages and Communication at Sultan Zain Al-Abidin University. To achieve the study's objectives, a questionnaire was prepared, and a test was conducted to measure the students' ability to recognize and extract the ten verb forms from texts and differentiate between them. The results showed that the most common errors made by Arabic language learners in relation to the ten verb forms were in the writing skill and were of a high degree. The results also revealed differences among the study community members in recognizing the ten morphological forms attributed to academic level, with these differences favoring the fourth year. The study results indicated no statistically significant differences in recognizing the ten morphological forms attributed to gender.
