| Popis: | Text books are essential in foreign language learning. Students depend mainly on text books as the source of information, enrichment activities, and reinforcement exercises in learning. Hence, preparation of text books of quality is important to ensure students receive the correct language information and are motivated in learning. Teacher teaching activities will also be facilitated with help from quality text books. This study aims at investigating errors in Arabic language text books for the fourth form used in the KSSM curriculum in Malaysia and recommending the appropriate corrections required. In conducting analysis, the error analysis approach recommended by al-Rājiḥī (1995) and Ṭu‘aimah (2004) were used. This combined approach introduced by these two scholars recommends four steps in language error analysis, namely, identifying, describing, interpreting, and implementing correction and treatment of errors. Findings of the study show that 70 language errors were detected in the unit studied. The errors were categorised as: 32 (46%) grammar errors, 16 (23%) spelling errors, 14 (20%) morphology errors, and eight (11%) lexical errors. This high number of errors demands that educators be more aware of language aspects in preparing text books, especially text books aimed at language learning. |
