Abstract

This meta-analysis study aimed at identifying the properties of research studies that tried to enhance Arabic functional writing. It also aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the adopted programs and strategies in developing Arabic functional writing. The analytic descriptive method was utilized in this study. The initial sample contained (55) studies that were analyzed in light of a number of inclusion/exclusion criteria along with a scale for evaluating study quality. The final sample included (18) studies, included (31) effect sizes; their data were analyzed in light of the encoding form. Results revealed a number of descriptive properties for those studies. Similarly, programs and teaching strategies used were very effective in developing Arabic functional writing. In addition, results revealed no change in the total effect size due to the change of the experimental treatment or the field of the dependent variable.  Accordingly, the study recommended that education decision makers should adopt the programs, and the teaching strategies used while developing Arabic functional writing across all stages of education.
