Findings–The results of the study reveal that a holistic approach combining communicative and traditional methods, the use of educational technology, and the integration of Arab culture is key to successful Arabic language learning for non-native speakers. Major challenges, such as mastering phonology and the lack of contextual teaching materials, can be addressed through innovations in curriculum design and technology-based teacher training.
Research implications/limitations – The implications of this study include the need for the development of relevant teaching materials, modern approach-based teacher training, and the adoption of technology to support learning.
Originality/value–The originality of this study lies in its integrative approach that combines theory and practice to create an inclusive and relevant Arabic language learning experience tailored to modern learners' needs. This research provides valuable insights into Arabic language teaching by mapping challenges, opportunities, and innovative learning strategies.
