Abstract

The current research aims to know (the effect of Wolen and Phillips strategy on the expressive performance of first-grade intermediate students). To achieve the goal of the research, the researcher chose the experimental method with partial control of the research group, and then the research community was determined and the sample was intentionally chosen from one of the schools, Al-Mada’in School in Diyala Governorate (Al-Muqdadiyah district). Al-Mada’in School consisted of two classes, division (A) was the experimental group, and division (B) was the control group. The number of the sample after excluding the failing students was (60) students, with (30) students in the experimental group, and (30) students in the control group. The researcher paired the research group according to the following variables (the chronological age of the students calculated in months, the academic level of the parents, the Arabic language scores for the previous year and the expressive performance test scores before conducting the experiment). The scientific material was determined from the Arabic language book for the first intermediate grade / the first part of the academic year 2021/ 2022. The researcher prepared six teaching plans of these topics for students of the experimental group and the control group. Then the researcher presented two models of these plans to a number of experts. The researcher formulated the behavioral goals of the expressive subjects, an amount of (57) goals. The researcher adopted Al-Obaidi criteria to correct the sequential expressive performance tests. The researcher used the appropriate statistical methods. After analyzing the results statistically, The results showed that the students of the experimental group outperformed the students of the control group in expressive performance tests. The researcher recommends adopting the strategy (Wolen and Phillips) in teaching expressive performance subject. The researcher suggests conducting a study similar to the current study in other branches of the Arabic language, such as Arabic grammar, rhetoric, literature and texts
