The analysis delves into the complex portrayal of Shylock in Shakespeare's play, examining themes of power, ideology, and identity. It highlights the dual perceptions of Shylock as both a violent figure and a victim of Christian oppression. The character's insistence on the harsh terms of his bond ultimately leads to his downfall, illustrating the consequences of his rigid adherence to justice. The study critiques how Shylock's identity and power are marginalized by those in authority, emphasizing the interplay between his desire for revenge and his tragic failure to navigate societal dynamics.

The book presents five research studies focused on language education, conducted by the author at Hebron University and local schools. The first unit explores the impact of immediate grammatical error correction on students. The second examines common phonological errors among Arab learners of English. The third emphasizes the significance of grammar instruction in the Arab world. The fourth discusses enhancing writing skills through reading, while the final unit includes a classroom observation of an English language class.

This book has been designed to meet the needs of beginners to intermediate students of English as either a foreign or second language. I tried to make the language of the book very simple in order to let readers acquire the basic concepts of the English grammar. I haven't followed a consequent method when discussing the rules. However, all items are understandable. I provided examples and exercises that may arouse reader's attention. This book is going to be the first edition of my grammar book, and I hope to design other editions in all English skills in the future. I also hope to design a grammar book for advanced learners. In this book, I put some of my knowledge of English grammar in addition to research paper solving the problems of the English system of articles. The research was conducted in a Palestinian school where I teach English. I have found many mistakes, made by my learners, in the usage of the English articles resulted from the differences between the Arabic and the English system of articles.
