الوصف الكامل (Full Abstract)
Spelling is rightly a priority for many learners. If they cannot make even an approximate guess at a spelling, or have to think about the spelling of nearly every word, any attempts at expressing their ideas are severely limited. Even if their spelling does not seem that bad , spelling problems will interfere with learners ability to write at the level of their spoken language or to express the complexity and range of their ideas.
Iraqi EFL learners may have a range of difficulties with spelling and the most difficult aspects of English spelling for them are complex correspondence between sound and letters. Cook (1991:1) asserts that "unlike native speakers, students may not know the actual system of English, and will appear to use the wrong letter" .For example:
(1) Choosing between two or three consonants [c, z and s] :
*recognice [recognize] *tradisional [traditional]
*spetial [special]
(2) Deciding whether to use /e/ or /i/:
*devided [divided] * dicided [decided]
(3)Wrongly omitting vowels, particularly (e) when is absent from the spoken form in the middle of words:
*intresting [interesting] *sevnth [seventh]
(4) Substituting one sound by another:
*cuikly [quickly] *amd [and]
