  1. Language Learning in the Digital Age: The case of non-native speakers of Arabic in Indonesia Dr. Abdulkhaleq Al-Rawafi

  2. The Evolution of Learning Tools (Virginia H. Y. Kwok, 2023) 30 Years Ago 1 Pencils, papers, and a good old-fashioned dictionary were the only tools available. 20 Years Ago 2 Desktop computers started to make their way into classrooms, bringing new opportunities for learning. 10 Years Ago 3 Laptops became more accessible, offering portability and greater access to digital resources. 5 Years Ago 4 iPads entered the scene, providing a convenient and interactive learning experience. 3 Years Ago 5 Mobile phones became ubiquitous, making learning accessible anytime, anywhere. Today 6 YouTube has become a central hub for learning, offering a vast library of videos on any topic imaginable.

  3. Characteristics of Online Language Learning Online language learning platforms have exploded in popularity, offering a wide range of courses, interactive exercises, and community features. These platforms cater to “diverse learning styles and provide flexibility, allowing learners to study at their own place” (Gee & Hayes, 2011). Convenience Online platforms provide access to language learning resources from anywhere with an internet connection. Affordability Many online platforms offer free or affordable subscription models, making language learning accessible to a wider audience. Personalized Learning Many online platforms use adaptive technology to tailor lessons to individual learner needs and progress. 1 2 Variety Online platforms offer a wide selection of courses, focusing on different languages, levels, and learning goals. 3 4

  7. Personalized Learning Experiences Modern language learning platforms and apps leverage data and artificial intelligence to create personalized learning experiences tailored to individual learner needs and preferences. Adaptive Learning Platforms adjust the difficulty and content of lessons based on individual learner progress and performance. Personalized Content Platforms recommend courses, exercises, and resources based on individual learner goals and interests. Interactive Feedback Platforms provide real-time feedback and guidance to help learners improve their language skills, where feedback showed a significantly larger improvement (Blake, 2011).

  8. According to a survey designed from 1163 university level Foreign Language Learners (FLL) by Şahin Kızıl (2017). The findings suggest that FL learners are digital learners at a moderate level and the range of technology tools used both for daily and language learning purposes is not as broad as claimed for their generation.

  9. Leveraging Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming language learning by providing personalized feedback, automating language practice, and creating immersive learning experiences. AI-Powered Chatbots Speech Recognition Chatbots can provide real-time conversations and language practice, simulating real-life interactions. AI-powered speech recognition tools provide feedback on pronunciation and fluency, helping learners improve their spoken language skills. Personalized Content AI algorithms analyze learner data to personalize content and recommend relevant resources.

  10. Gamification in Language Learning Gamification techniques are increasingly used in language learning platforms to enhance engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. Rewards and Achievements Gamified elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards provide a sense of accomplishment and motivate learners to progress. Interactive Games Language learning games make practice more fun and engaging, helping learners develop vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation skills. Progress Tracking Gamification elements allow learners to track their progress and see how they are improving, enhancing motivation and engagement.

  11. Blended Learning Approaches Blended learning approaches combine online and offline learning experiences, leveraging the benefits of both traditional classroom instruction and digital tools. Online Lessons 1 Online platforms provide interactive lessons, practice exercises, and personalized feedback. Classroom Interaction 2 In-person classes offer opportunities for real-time interaction with teachers and classmates, fostering language fluency and cultural understanding. Collaborative Projects 3 Blended learning environments encourage collaboration and communication, enhancing language skills and building confidence.

  12. The case of non-native speakers of Arabic in Indonesia

  13. Challenges Faced by Non-Native Speakers of Arabic in Indonesia Limited Access to Resources Cultural Differences Language environment Bridging cultural differences in language learning can be a significant obstacle for non- native Arabic learners, e.g. diglossia (rawafi2018) Students have difficulties building a language and linguistic environment to practice the learned language (rawafi2018). Many students face challenges accessing traditional learning resources like qualified instructors and specialized libraries, as well as technology at the school.

  14. Platforms and Tools for Digital Arabic Language Learning Language Learning Apps Duolingo, Memrise, and Babbel provide gamified Arabic lessons, vocabulary building, and grammar exercises. Online Courses Platforms like Coursera and edX offer structured Arabic language courses taught by qualified instructors. Interactive Websites Social Media Communities ArabicPod101 and LearnArabic.com provide audio and video lessons, cultural insights, and language practice tools. Facebook groups, Twitter chats, and online forums facilitate language exchange and connection with native speakers.

  15. Strategies for Effective Digital Arabic Language Learning Students should set Clear Goals Define specific learning objectives, such as mastering vocabulary or conversational skills. 1 2 Students should create a Consistent Schedule Dedicate regular time slots for Arabic study, even if it's just for 15-30 minutes each day. Students should utilize Diverse Resources Explore different digital platforms and tools to find what works best for your learning style. 3 Students should practice Regularly Engage in active language practice through reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities 4 Students should seek Feedback and Support Connect with online communities, tutors, or language partners for guidance and encouragement. 5

  16. Overcoming Barriers to Digital Arabic Language Learning Challenge Solution Limited Internet Access Use mobile data plans or visit public libraries with Wi-Fi. Lack of Technology Skills Seek online tutorials or workshops to learn basic computer and digital literacy. Financial Constraints Explore free or low-cost online resources and consider scholarships or financial aid.

  17. Choosing the Right Videos Focus on Your Goals Consider Your Level Engage Actively For example, to improve your vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation, choose videos that align with your specific learning objectives. Select videos appropriate for your current level of Arabic proficiency. You can always challenge yourself gradually as you progress. Don't just passively watch videos. Take notes, repeat phrases, and actively participate in the learning process.

  18. The Benefits of YouTube Learning Immersion YouTube exposes students to authentic language and various Arabic accents, enhancing their listening comprehension and fluency. Motivation Engaging content and diverse formats can make learning more enjoyable and motivate students to continue practicing. Progress Students can track their progress by watching videos at different levels and observing their understanding and speaking abilities.

  19. According to Lisa Winstead (2016) key aspects that promote a successful learning experience for the language student in a technology enhanced environment, especially a web environment, include the following: (1) institutional support with appropriate technology to meet a learner’s needs in the language learning environment (e.g., software requirements, high speed internet); (2) specific instruction and learner training to ensure continuous learning (e.g., trouble-shooting ability), (3) authentic digital opportunities for student-to-student language interaction; (4) student training and support to troubleshoot and hardware technology software,
