The present research aims to identify the effect of the O'Reilly strategy on the acquisition of grammatical concepts among fifth-grade female students in Arabic grammar. Therefore, the researchers hypothesized the following null hypothesis: There are no statistically significant differences between the experimental group receiving instruction using the O'Reilly strategy and the control group following instruction using the traditional method on acquiring grammatical concepts in the post-test. ٓؿِس جُلطف ......................................................جُٔؿِى جُطحْغ ٝجُؼشٍٕٝ . جُؼىو جال.ٍٝ جيجٌ ُ٘ٓس 2025 https://alfatehjournal.uodiyala.edu.iq/index.php/jfath/index -282- The sample of the study consisted of (74) fifth grade female secondary school students, selected intentionally from Um Habiba School affiliated with the Diyala Education Directorate.

The researchers conducted equivalence for the two groups on several variables, including the academic achievement from the previous year in the subject of Arabic language. The researchers prepared a posttest for grammatical concepts consisting of (42) items. After verifying the validity and reliability of the test, and upon collecting and statistically analyzing the research data using statistical methods for data analysis including Chi-square, t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient, and the results showed the superiority of the experimental group over the control group. The researchers concluded that: 1. Promoting learning of the Arabic language, stimulating oral communication, and enhancing understanding and higher order thinking among students. 2. Enhancing students’ linguistic abilities, especially listening and speaking. The two researchers recommended the following: 1. Teachers must create a positive and supportive learning environment that encourages positive thinking and enhances self-confidence among female students. 2. Organizing workshops and additional educational activities: It is proposed to organize workshops and additional educational activities aimed at applying the strategy in practice and increasing students’ understanding of grammatical concepts through interaction and cooperation with each other.
