Abstract

 This study aimed at identifying the effectiveness of letter (c) modelling in developing the writing skills performance of Arabic learners speaking other languages and the number of views required for the line visual to develop their writing skills performance. The study sample consisted of 15 learners who were studying the Arabic language for the first time and were chosen by the convenience sampling method. The female students did not take a pre-test as they did not know Arabic before. The students were trained on the attached Arabic calligraphy visual, which included all the Arabic language alphabets. The training period lasted for 8 weeks, with two lessons per week, and each session lasted for 40 minutes. The students then underwent a post-test that was checked for validity and reliability. The analysis results showed a clear ability to draw the Arabic letter due to the visualisation of the calligraphy presented by the researcher, which relied on modelling the letter (c) in all Arabic letters. In light of the findings, the study recommended applying the teaching method based on the calligraphy visualisation devised in teaching non-Arabic speakers.
 
 Keywords: Handwritten performance, development, letter (c) modelling, learners of Arabic speaking other languages.
Highlights
With the rapid development of our recent times, developing new methods to reach better objectives of teaching Arabic has become a necessity
The results of the second hypothesis showed the existence of a statistically significant effect of the teaching method based on electronic visualisation on the development of the handwriting performance skills of Arabic learners speaking other languages
This may be attributed to the effect of the teaching method used, which led to a tangible improvement in the degree of mastery of the handwriting performance skills related to drawing letters among the study participants who experienced the teaching method utilised in this study
Summary
With the rapid development of our recent times, developing new methods to reach better objectives of teaching Arabic has become a necessity. Old methods of teaching handwriting are no longer effective, especially when drawing the letters on lines on paper, where such methods do not show the convenient way of presenting letters. This occurs especially at the beginning of the different years of schooling. Another issue is the learners’ reliance on the ready-made computer writing, which has forced the learners to not pay attention to the letters above or below the line. Cursive writing is not considered creative writing because it is based on looking at a previous model and trying to imitate it within a specific reality where the imitator does not have to go beyond, even if the imitator is required to feel it, understand its parts and details, and feel the style of its structure and composition
