| AbstractThe research aims at investigating students’ ability to identify the sentence patterns.It is hypothesized that: there are significant difference in third year students’ ability to identify the sentence patterns. For the purpose of achieving the aim, third year students for the academic year 2007-2008 who are studying in College of Education for Women/ English department constitute the sample of the research.In order to verify the hypothesis of the study , the researcher has developed a test which consists of (18) items .The researcher has designed this test carefully after consulting a number of instructors and specialists in the field of ELT. The test is then given to a jury members who have a greed on its validity for administration. Then ,the test is given to a sample of (10) students with the purpose of determining a number of factors including:1. Item difficulty.2. Item discriminatory power.The test reliability is computed through using the test-retest method. The test in its final version has been given to a sample of the research .the reliability index is 0.85.Furthermore, the test formula has been used to find out the significant difference between the theoretical mean and the experimental mean regarding the students’ ability through identifying sentence patterns.Analysis of Variance has been used to find out the significant differences concerning each sentence pattern.After analyzing the data statistically the researcher found out that:1. Sentence pattern number 1, 2, 3, and 4 are well identified by third year students.2. Sentence pattern number 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are not identified by students.It has been found that there is statistically significant differences at the of 0.001 level of significance in the students’ performance regarding the identifying of every sentence pattern. This means that the hypothesis is verified.In the light of the findings of this research , relevant conclusion are drawn, and a number of recommendations and suggestions are made. | ||
