This study investigates the syntactic errors committed by Arab learners in a college in Oman. This research is a mixed-method design, which contains quantitative and qualitative procedures. Research and Development (R&D) methodology was applied to propose a new self-learning kit that might help in minimizing or solving these errors and switch the learner from a dependent learnerto become an autonomous learner. This methodology was adopted by Gall, Gall and Borg (2003) by following some steps starting with the need analysis step, followed by determining the learning objectives and proposing the new learning material. Then, it is followed by testing its validity and reliability and finally using ANOVA to test its effect on the students‟ performance. The sample contained 70 previous final examinations in the need analysis process, 30 student in the validity process and 50 students in the last step of testing the students‟ performance. The researcher chose a convenient sample technique.
