First, I would like to thank Professor Dr. Hussam Al-Deen Mostafa from the Department of Foreign Learners, Mansoura University for his great help, Professor Dr. Hamdy M. M. Shahin from the Department of English Language and Literature for his enlightenment and academic supervision, and Mr. Samir Al-Madry, Eng. Hazem Shafi’i, Eng.

I must also thank Hajj Muhammad Al-Sa’id and his family, and Mr. Muhammad Hasan and his family from Meit Khamis for their generous hospitality and cooperation. Thank you all! You were and will always be professional academicians as well as lovely brothers. Furthermore, I have to thank my colleagues from Palestine Ahliya University for their great help in data collection. Many thanks to Dr. Khalid Sabarnah, Dr. Ali Abu Maria, and Mr. Karam Al-Muhtaseb for their great support, in general, and for the big effort they paid with me in collecting data.
