Children's Attitudes Towards the Diglossic Situation in Arabic and its Impact on Learning

Arabic is a language impacted by diglossia.

Dakwar (2005) investigates the two variations Fusha, which is the high form or literary form and Ammiya, which is the low form or daily life form of the Arabic language.

The study examines the attitudes of children in grade school who are impacted by diglossia.

Children have difficulty with comprehension and transferring from one variety to another.

"Teachers tend to ask them to forget all what they have learned in Ammiya when they begin learning Fusha" (Dakwar, 2005, p . 83).
