Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to answer the following questions: a) In subject-related matters, what are the fundamental factors that demotivate non-Muslim learners from learning Arabic? Moreover,; b) How can Arabic language educators encourage Arabic learners to become more motivated to learn the language? An open-ended questionnaire was distributed to 207 respondents in order to investigate the demotivating factors among non-Muslim Arabic learners. In addition, semi-structured interviews with 20 respondents were used to conduct an in-depth investigation of the factors that demotivated Arabic learners regarding subject-related matters. Based on the respondents' elaboration on the issues raised, the researcher explored the underlying patterns of thinking that go beyond the surface level through the analysis of these data obtained using the two types of instruments. According to the study's findings, the main demotivating factor of subject-related matters is the Arabic language. The Arabic language was difficult to learn from the pronunciation, then the writing system and spelling (orthography). And its diacritics after that grammar and vocabulary memorization. In other words, the students are demotivated from learning because of the complexity of the language in general.

Abstract

Academic leaders in the field of English language teaching (ELT) have come to recognise the vital role of culture in ELT. However, the influence of academic leaders' cultural backgrounds on their communicative competence has not been well-researched. This research aims to investigate the cultural factors affecting communicative competence among academic leaders. Semi-structured online interviews were conducted with nine university leaders from different Iraqi universities, with the criteria being academic leaders who have been in service for more than three years. Four theories serve as its framework and direction: the theories of planned behavior, communicative competence, leadership competence, and communication competence. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis, following key factors such as the impact of each academic leader's cultural background on his or her communicative competence. Effective communication skills have been identified as helpful in problem-solving and developing critical skills. The recommendation is to organise training for academic leaders to use English correctly and appropriately to accomplish communication goals.

Abstract

Arabic verbal gender agreement poses challenges for second-language learners due to its complexity. This study highlights the necessity for Arabic language programs to implement input at the appropriate level (i+1) and to foster a low-anxiety environment to enhance learner acquisition in line with Krashen's framework. The participants in this study were new students (level 1) with a background in public schools who were still categorized as beginner learners, totaling 29 students. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with 29 participants regarding their experiences in learning and understanding gender agreement, as well as observations to see how the language acquisition process occurs. Then, the data was analyzed using phenomenological thematic analysis. The findings reveal that learners who received comprehensible input at an appropriate level (i+1) demonstrated more accurate responses, suggesting effective language acquisition. In contrast, learners exposed to overly complex input (i+2 or higher) struggled to process the material effectively. Affective factors, such as motivation and anxiety, were also found to influence learning outcomes. High anxiety negatively impacted fluency, while a supportive learning environment enhanced language acquisition. This study highlights the importance of aligning teaching strategies with Krashen's theory, particularly the principle of comprehensible input. It is recommended that Arabic language curricula incorporate materials that gradually increase in difficulty (i+1), ensuring input is both challenging and accessible to learners. This approach can facilitate more effective language acquisition and improve overall student outcomes in Arabic language instruction

Abstract

Exposure is crucial for language acquisition, yet Arabic language learners in Malaysia face limited exposure. To accurately measure the extent of this exposure among higher education students, the researcher has developed the Arabic Language Exposure instrument (I-ALEx). This study applied the Rasch Model to validate the I-ALEx, which was designed to assess students' exposure to the Arabic language. Data were collected from 374 final-year Arabic language students from eight universities in Malaysia using a cross-sectional survey design. The I-ALEx includes 20 items divided into two sub-constructs: target language and culture, on a four-point Likert scale (strongly disagree to agree strongly). The quality of the items was evaluated using Winsteps version 5.2. The analysis indicated that all items on the I-ALEx satisfied the Rasch model requirements, thereby supporting the reliability and validity of the instrument. This validation supports the I-ALEx as an effective tool for evaluating Arabic language exposure among higher education students, thus enhancing the assessment practices in language education.
