Innovative Methods and Strategies in Arabic Language Teaching: A Systematic Review of International and National Literature (2020–2025)

Abstract

Effective Arabic language instruction is increasingly urgent in the digital era, given the complex linguistic demands and evolving educational technologies. Despite growth in language education research, innovative approaches to Arabic teaching, especially those that leverage digital, blended, and interdisciplinary frameworks, are seldom systematically analyzed. This study synthesizes trends and evidence from 2020–2025 national and international literature, aiming to clarify which innovative digital methods and strategies most enhance Arabic language learning. A systematic review finds that gamification, digital platforms, and collaborative methods significantly enhance student engagement and comprehension. However, these benefits depend on teacher preparedness, student digital skills, and infrastructure. The review concludes by advocating empirical research to determine which digital-integrated pedagogies achieve sustainable, long-term improvements in Arabic language education.
