Abstract

Research indicates that the German reading abilities of children with migration backgrounds are generally inferior when compared to their monolingual German counterparts. Previous studies have primarily concentrated on Turkish-German bilingual children, with limited attention given to those who speak other first languages. Notably, the reading skills of bilingual Arabic-German children have yet to be thoroughly explored. This study aims to assess the German reading speed at the word level among bilingual Arabic-German students in Germany. A one-minute reading test was administered to a sample of 66 bilingual Arabic-German children, with a mean age of 9;02 years. One group of 33 children received instruction in both German and Arabic, while the other group of 33 received only German instruction in school, with Arabic being taught outside of school. The results indicated no significant differences between the groups regarding the German tasks, and neither group exhibited signs of difficulties in German literacy.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine Arabic reading speed (at word level) for students in Germany, who acquire literacy in German primary schools and who speak Arabic as a mother tongue and German as a second language. This study is the first one in this research field. Acquiring Arabic literacy is challenging, on one hand because of Arabic diglossia and on the other hand very few German schools offer a chance to receive lessons in vernacular language. The finding showed a significant difference between the group (bilingual students who received Arabic lessons at school) and the group (bilingual students who received Arabic lessons at the mosque), indicating that students (groupone) benefit from literacy lessons at German schools. The data indicate that professional teachers and adequate textbooks are a prerequisite for teaching Arabic at mosques.DOI: 10.15408/a.v3i2.4582
