Transforming Arabic Language Acquisition: The Impact of Technology in Higher Education

Abstract

The integration of technology into higher education has revolutionized language acquisition, particularly in learning Arabic. This paper explores the multifaceted impact of technology on Arabic language learning, focusing on digital tools, online resources, and interactive platforms that enhance student engagement and proficiency. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study examines how technologies such as language learning apps, virtual classrooms, and social media facilitate immersive learning experiences. Through surveys and interviews with students and educators, the findings reveal that technology not only supports traditional teaching methods but also fosters collaborative learning and cultural exchange among students from diverse backgrounds. Moreover, the study highlights challenges such as the digital divide and varying levels of technological proficiency among students. By addressing these challenges, the paper proposes a framework for effectively integrating technology into Arabic language curricula in higher education settings. Ultimately, the research underscores the necessity for institutions to adopt innovative technological solutions to enhance language learning outcomes and prepare students for a globalized world.
