a few days ago, in a reading task, a student asked me for the meaning of a word that he didn't know.
in the quest of trying to make him an independent learner, i suggested that he use his dictionary. he said to me that he didn't like using his dictionary and why should he use a dictionary when he had a teacher to ask?
it's not easy trying to make an arab student an independent learner. their culture is as such that they prefer being told than seeking for the answers for themselves. seeking for answers seem to not be a challenge that arab students embrace.
