Abstract

This study investigates the transmission of Arabic Islamic culture through literature and media, examining how cultural meanings, values, and historical narratives are preserved, reshaped, and disseminated across contemporary communication channels. Through a qualitative analytical approach, the research explores the dynamic interaction between classical literary heritage, modern digital media, and audience reception across diverse cultural contexts. The findings highlight significant shifts in cultural transmission patterns shaped by globalization, technological advancements, and the emergence of new media forms. Moreover, the study reveals existing gaps in how cultural authenticity is maintained, particularly when traditional texts are adapted into modern digital formats. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how Arabic Islamic cultural identity is negotiated and reproduced in the present era, offering insights relevant for scholars of cultural studies, media studies, and Arabic literature. Ultimately, the study underscores the need for strengthened frameworks that ensure accurate, ethical, and contextually grounded representation of Arabic Islamic culture in both local and global platforms.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of multimedia tools in Arabic language teaching within a multiliteracies framework. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach to investigate how visual, auditory, interactive, and digital production tools enhance students’ linguistic skills, motivation, and engagement. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of digital learning materials. The findings reveal that multimedia integration improves comprehension, supports differentiated learning, and fosters collaborative and autonomous learning environments. Additionally, the multiliteracies framework provides a comprehensive pedagogical guide for designing learning experiences that align with contemporary technological and cultural contexts. The study highlights the importance of professional development, technological infrastructure, and high-quality digital content to maximize the benefits of multimedia-enhanced Arabic instruction. These findings suggest that multimedia integration is essential for modern Arabic pedagogy and contributes to creating culturally responsive and technologically enriched learning environments

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) on vocabulary acquisition in learners of Arabic as a foreign language. As mobile technologies increasingly permeate educational settings, MALL has emerged as a promising approach to enhancing language learning efficiency, flexibility, and engagement. This research employed a qualitative explorative design to examine how mobile-based learning tools—such as digital dictionaries, flashcard applications, and interactive vocabulary platforms—contribute to learners’ mastery of Arabic vocabulary. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and learners’ reflective journals. Findings reveal that MALL facilitates increased learner autonomy, improves recall through spaced repetition, and provides immediate feedback that supports more effective vocabulary retention. Additionally, mobile tools were found to create a more personalized and motivating learning environment, contributing to higher levels of student engagement. However, the study also identifies challenges related to technological accessibility and inconsistent learner discipline when using mobile devices. Overall, the research concludes that MALL significantly enhances vocabulary acquisition in Arabic as a foreign language, provided that its implementation is supported by structured pedagogical strategies and adequate digital literacy training.

Abstract

This study investigates the lexical density and cohesion features in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) essays written by foreign learners, with the aim of identifying key patterns that characterize learner language production. Using a mixed-method approach, the research analyzes 80 essays from intermediate and advanced learners enrolled in Arabic language programs. Quantitative measures of lexical density were calculated to determine the proportion of content words, while qualitative and quantitative analyses of cohesive devices examined the frequency and appropriateness of reference, conjunctions, lexical ties, and substitution mechanisms. The findings reveal that learners at both levels tend to rely heavily on basic lexical items, resulting in moderate lexical density, but advanced learners demonstrate greater variation and structural complexity. Cohesion analysis shows frequent use of additive and causal conjunctions, though misuse of reference and lexical repetition remains common, indicating limited control of cohesive harmony. These results highlight the developmental nature of foreign learners’ interlanguage in MSA writing and underscore the need for pedagogical interventions focusing on vocabulary expansion and cohesive device instruction. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of Arabic learner corpora and offers implications for curriculum design, assessment, and instructional strategies in teaching MSA writing skills.

Abstract

This study examines how e-learning develops graduate-level Arabic skills in Chennai’s higher education institutions and explores challenges to its integration. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, it surveys Arabic faculty and reviews pedagogical literature on teaching Arabic in non-Arabic contexts. Findings reveal that despite faculty technical competence; institutional adoption of e-learning remains low. Curricula are not digitally aligned, leaving graduates underprepared for technology-driven Arabic professions. Key barriers include limited funding, adherence to traditional pedagogy, and inadequate training in digital teaching tools. The study recommends modernizing Arabic curricula through e-learning, establishing faculty development programs in digital pedagogy, and forming institutional partnerships to improve technological infrastructure. This research contributes to Arabic education discourse in India and proposes a framework for digital transformation in foreign language instruction.

Abstract

This study investigates the cognitive and linguistic factors that influence Arabic second language acquisition among adult learners. Drawing on data from multiple instructional contexts, the research explores how working memory capacity, attentional control, and metalinguistic awareness interact with linguistic features such as phonological complexity, orthographic processing, and root-and-pattern morphology. The findings reveal that both cognitive and linguistic factors strongly shape learners’ proficiency development, particularly in vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and reading fluency. Learners with stronger cognitive abilities and greater morphological sensitivity demonstrated faster and more accurate processing of Arabic’s nonlinear linguistic structures. The study highlights the need for pedagogical approaches that integrate cognitive strategy training, explicit morphological instruction, and systematic phonological support to optimize learning outcomes. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of adult Arabic SLA and offer practical implications for curriculum development, instructional design, and technology-enhanced language learning.
