Pronunciation Problems in Egypt I have been teaching English for almost eight years for Egyptian university students at the English Department. Out of my experience of teaching Phonetics and Phonology for those students‚ I can conclude that the Egyptian learners of English encounter many pronunciation problems because of two main reasons: the English spelling as a poor reflection of the English pronunciation as well as the differences between the Arabic phonetic alphabet and that of English

The Dual Route Cascaded (DRC) model of visual word recognition and reading aloud was proposed‚ in 2001‚ by Coltheart‚ Rastle‚ Perry‚ Langdon‚ and Ziegler. This model is consisted of three routes‚ the lexical semantic route‚ the lexical non semantic route‚ and the grapheme-phoneme correspondence (GPC) route‚ which are formed from a number of interacting layers. These layers contain sets of units representing the smallest parts of the model including word‚ letter or phoneme units. The units of different

concerning errors‚ however‚ neither overlook nor neglect the positive and negative influence of L1 on L2 and their consequences. There are some clear indications that children ’s L1 may temporarily interfere with L2 learning; L1 phonological and orthographic processes interfere with spelling L2 words with unfamiliar phonemes or graphemes; miscues in L2 reading can be attributed to native language syntactical knowledge; and word-order variation‚ complex noun phrases and other complex structural differences

real answer to why people contract this condition (Patino). Symptoms of dysgraphia affect around five to twenty percent of the population (Pechman). Dysgraphics can also have problems with their memory. “A child may have trouble with what’s called orthographic coding‚” Erica Patino explains. “This is the ability to store unfamiliar written words in the working memory. As a result‚ he may have a hard time remembering how to print or write a letter or word.” There are many diseases related to dysgraphia
