ABSTRACT
Research on students’ perceptions of learning Arabic as a third language is well established, but little attention
has been given to non-language major students in Malaysian higher education, particularly in business
faculties. This study investigates the perceptions of students from the Faculty of Business Management at
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Mukah toward Arabic learning. A quantitative descriptive design was
employed using a structured questionnaire administered to 50 students. Data were analyzed through descriptive
statistics and independent samples t-tests to examine differences by gender and prior Arabic learning
experience. The results show that most students expressed positive perceptions, with 67.8% of responses in the
“Agree” or “Strongly Agree” categories. Nevertheless, challenges related to the complexity of Arabic grammar
and limited opportunities for exposure continue to hinder effective learning. No significant differences were
found between genders or between students with and without prior exposure. These findings suggest that
teaching strategies and supportive learning environments are more influential than demographic factors in
shaping positive perceptions of Arabic.
Keywords: Perception, Arabic, Third Language
INTRODUCTION
Arabic occupies a prominent position among global languages, not only because of its deep cultural and
religious heritage but also due to its increasing relevance in education, commerce, and professional fields. In
higher education, proficiency in Arabic remains vital for scholars engaging with Islamic literature and primary
sources. However, its scope has broadened in recent years to include areas such as international business,
diplomacy, and cross-cultural communication. Consequently, many universities particularly in Muslim-
majority nations have introduced Arabic courses to strengthen students’ linguistic and cultural competencies.
In the Malaysian context, Arabic is commonly offered as a third language across public universities. Although
it is not a compulsory subject for most non-religious disciplines, many students continue to enrol in Arabic
courses, recognising the language’s intellectual, cultural, and professional value. At the same time, Arabic is
not an easy language to pick up, and students’ views toward learning it matter a great deal. Perceptions can
influence motivation, the way students engage in class, and even their eventual achievement. Such perceptions

may relate to teaching approaches, classroom activities, available resources, or even how useful students think
Arabic will
be in their studies and careers.
Although research on foreign language learning is extensive, there is less focus on students outside language
and religious programs. Business students, for example, often approach Arabic with different motivations: to
fulfill a degree requirement, to strengthen their résumé, or simply to broaden skills. These priorities are not
always the same as those of language majors.
This study aims to look more closely at this particular group by exploring how Business Management students
at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Mukah perceive Arabic courses. The focus is on their experiences and
challenges, with the hope of identifying what works and what does not. The findings are expected to provide
useful guidance for lecturers, curriculum designers, and policy makers who want to make Arabic learning
more relevant and manageable for students who are not language specialists.
LITERATURE REVIEW
The Importance of Arabic in Contemporary Contexts
Arabic remains one of the most influential global languages. While it is central to religious practice as the
language of the Qur’an, its importance increasingly extends to trade, diplomacy, and intercultural
communication (Yassin, 2023). Many higher education institutions in Muslim-majority countries now embed
Arabic in their curricula to broaden students’ academic and professional competencies (Eljack, 2024).
Comparative studies also suggest that the perceived value of Arabic differs across regions: in Middle Eastern
contexts it is often approached as a heritage language, whereas in Southeast Asia it is more strongly associated
with employability and digital communication (Almelhes, 2024).
Challenges in Learning Arabic as a Foreign or Third Language
Even though Arabic is widely recognised as an important language, many non-native learners still find it quite
difficult to master. The grammar can be complex, the writing system is different from what most students are
used to, and chances to practise it beyond the classroom are often limited (Munawarah & Ilmiani, 2023;
Nurhuda, 2022). These factors make learning Arabic a demanding process, especially for beginners.
In addition to these linguistic challenges, some recent studies in educational technology have pointed out
another issue. Arabic is still not well represented in adaptive learning systems or AI-based language platforms,
which means students receive less personalised feedback compared to learners of other major languages
(Hehsan et al., 2024). For students who are already managing heavy academic loads such as those in business
programmes studying Arabic can sometimes feel like an extra burden rather than a practical or rewarding skill.
Students’ Perceptions and Attitudes toward Language Learning
The way students perceive the process of learning a new language can have a major impact on their motivation
and persistence. Learners who hold positive views tend to participate more actively and show greater
resilience, while those with negative attitudes often lose interest or disengage over time (Ramadhan &
Soenarto, 2015).
In the case of Arabic, students’ motivations are far from uniform. Some choose to learn it because of its
religious significance, while others value it for academic or career-related reasons (Abu Bakar, 2025).
Comparative research also points out that learners’ attitudes are shaped by their cultural and educational
contexts. For example, Malaysian students often highlight the importance of Arabic for future employment,
whereas European learners are more likely to see it as a means of cultural enrichment or personal growth
(Khusnadin et al., 2025). These contrasts show that Arabic instruction should not follow a one-size-fits-all
approach. Instead, teaching should respond to both local needs and the broader global role of the language.

The Role of Teaching Strategies, Resources, and Learning Environment
The way Arabic is taught plays a key role in shaping students’ experiences and their overall perception of the
language. Teaching methods that encourage active participation such as task-based learning, small group work,
and scaffolded activities have been found to improve understanding and engagement (Al-Assaf & Amaireh,
2020; Mohammad Lotfie, Zubir, & Md Ghalib, 2013). A positive classroom atmosphere, supported by the use
of multimedia and interactive tools, also helps maintain motivation and interest among learners (Pikri, 2022).
In recent years, digital and blended learning approaches have become more common, offering creative ways to
make Arabic lessons more interactive. Gamified learning, for instance, has been shown to increase students’
motivation (Almelhes, 2024), while blended instruction has produced encouraging results for improving
proficiency in Saudi classrooms (Al-Motrif et al., 2025). However, not all institutions have equal access to
these technologies. Rural and less-resourced universities often face challenges in implementing such
innovations, leading to disparities that can limit students’ opportunities to learn effectively (Hehsan et al.,
2024).
Research Gaps in Non-Language Majors
Much of the literature on Arabic learning focuses on students in language or religious programmes, with less
attention given to non-language majors such as business students. For many of these learners, Arabic is
pursued for practical reasons either to meet degree requirements or to enhance employability (Mamat & Ajape,
2015; Shehata, 2024). There is also a scarcity of large-scale or computational studies that track learner
perceptions across faculties and institutions. Bibliometric evidence shows a growing body of research on
technology in Arabic education, but its application to non-specialist learners remains limited (Khusnadin et al.,
2025). Addressing these gaps would provide a more comprehensive, data-driven understanding of Arabic
learning in diverse higher education contexts.
METHODOLOGY
In this study, a quantitative descriptive design was used to examine students’ perceptions of Arabic learning at
the university level. The aim was not to establish cause-and-effect relationships but rather to capture how
students make sense of Arabic within their academic experience. This design was considered suitable because
it allowed us to measure attitudes and behaviors in a structured way while still giving a broad picture of trends
among the respondents.
A survey was selected as the main tool of inquiry. It offered two clear advantages: it could reach a sizeable
group of students within a short period of time, and it preserved the anonymity of respondents. The latter point
was important, as anonymity often encourages participants to speak more freely, whether their experiences
were positive or less favorable. For this reason, we expected the survey to reflect a more honest account of
how students viewed Arabic as a third language.
The survey instrument was a structured questionnaire made up of closed-ended questions. The items covered
key aspects of language learning, such as the difficulty of Arabic, the teaching methods employed, its
relevance to future careers, and students’ motivation to learn. Responses were collected using a five-point
Likert scale, from Strongly Disagree (1) to Strongly Agree (5). This format made it possible to identify
patterns and compare the degree of agreement across different themes.
The participants were drawn from the Faculty of Business Management at Universiti Teknologi MARA
(UiTM), Mukah Campus, Sarawak. Both current students and those who had previously completed Arabic
courses were invited to join the study. Participation was voluntary, and 50 students agreed to respond. While
this sampling method does not ensure full representativeness, it was the most realistic choice given the
exploratory nature of the study and practical constraints such as time and access to students.

Before the questionnaire was distributed, subject matter experts reviewed the items to ensure clarity and
relevance. Data collection took place in the second semester, with the researcher present in class to give
instructions and address any questions. This presence also helped create a more comfortable setting, so
students did not feel rushed or uncertain about the process.
Data were analyzed using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics. Frequencies and percentages
were first calculated to summarize responses and provide an overview of general perceptions. The data were
processed in Microsoft Excel and checked manually to reduce error. Beyond descriptive summaries, an
independent samples t-test was carried out to compare responses across two groups: those with prior
experience in Arabic and those without, as well as male and female students. The significance level was set at
0.05 to determine whether the differences observed between groups were statistically meaningful.
By bringing together descriptive and inferential techniques, the study was able to present both an overall
picture of students’ perceptions and a more detailed account of how background factors shaped those
perceptions. This approach provided a rounded understanding of the opportunities and difficulties faced by
business students who encounter Arabic as a third language.
The complete questionnaire items and coding guidelines used in this study are included in Appendix A for
reference.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Demographic Profile of Respondents
The study sample consisted of 50 Business Management students from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM)
Mukah. Among them, 32 participants (64%) were female and 18 (36%) were male. In terms of prior
experience with Arabic, 14 students (28%) reported having some previous exposure, whereas 36 (72%)
indicated that they had none. This demographic pattern suggests that the majority of participants were female
and relatively new to learning Arabic a context that provides valuable background for interpreting the study’s
results (Mamat & Ajape, 2015; Shehata, 2024).

The results show that the sample included both male and female students, with women forming the majority at
64 percent. Most respondents (72 percent) also indicated that they had no prior experience with Arabic before
entering the university. This demographic profile provides important context for understanding the perception
scores and t-test findings, as it highlights that most participants were approaching the language as complete
beginners.
Students’ Perceptions of Arabic Learning
Overall, the findings suggest that students viewed the experience of learning Arabic positively, with 67.8
percent of their responses falling under the “Agree” or “Strongly Agree” categories. Among the different
classroom activities, vocabulary-building exercises and short translation tasks stood out as the most well-
received. Students described these activities as practical, effective, and easy to manage, helping them build
confidence and strengthen their language skills.

Note. Percentages reflect the overall distribution of student responses to perception items.
The findings reveal that the majority of students expressed positive perceptions toward learning Arabic, with
67.8% of responses falling in the “Agree” or “Strongly Agree” categories. Neutral and negative responses
were present but less dominant. To enhance readability, Table 2 presents only the percentage distribution of
responses.
Figure 1 illustrates the distribution of student responses for each of the ten questionnaire items, providing a
clearer overview of patterns across categories.

Note: The figure shows the distribution of responses to ten perception items measuring attitudes toward Arabic
as a third language. Response categories include Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Neutral (N), Disagree (D),
and Strongly Disagree (SD). The chart illustrates that most students selected “Agree” or “Strongly Agree,”
indicating generally positive perceptions of Arabic learning.
Item-by-Item Analysis
The item-by-item analysis revealed generally positive perceptions of Arabic learning among students. Most
respondents agreed that Arabic is important for academic and professional purposes (Item 1) and considered it
comparable to other academic subjects (Item 2), echoing earlier findings that students recognize its value for
future careers (Abu Bakar, 2025). Students also expressed enthusiasm toward attending Arabic classes (Item
3), though enthusiasm varied depending on individual motivation (Abdeldaim et al., 2023). With regard to
assignments (Item 4), the majority perceived them as appropriate and manageable, noting that short tasks such

as vocabulary drills and sentence construction helped reinforce learning without being overly burdensome, a
feature consistent with effective course design (Mohammad Lotfie et al., 2013).
In terms of challenges, many students acknowledged that Arabic is relatively more difficult than other subjects
(Item 5), mainly due to its complex grammar and limited exposure, a finding consistent with Munawarah and
Ilmiani (2023). Nevertheless, students generally agreed that the academic environment supports Arabic
learning (Item 6), highlighting the role of institutional support and immersive practices (Pikri, 2022). Opinions
about learning resources were mixed (Item 7), as while some valued the availability of multimedia tools, others
felt facilities were inadequate, reflecting similar concerns noted by Mufidah et al. (2025). Teaching strategies
were largely viewed as clear and accessible (Item 8), particularly when interactive or collaborative methods
were employed (Al-Assaf & Amaireh, 2020).
Finally, students showed divided views on the overall manageability of Arabic (Item 9), with some reporting
challenges in grammar and vocabulary acquisition (Hastang & R., 2023), but nearly all respondents affirmed
that Arabic remains highly relevant today (Item 10), underscoring its contemporary importance for
communication and global engagement (Yassin, 2023).
Inferential Findings
Independent samples t-tests were conducted to examine whether perceptions differed significantly by gender
or prior Arabic learning experience.

An independent samples t-test showed no significant difference in perceptions between students with prior
Arabic experience and those without, t (48) = 1.69, p = .10, d = 0.25. Similarly, no significant difference was
found between male and female students, t (48) = 1.71, p = .10, d = 0.24. These results are consistent with
Mamat and Ajape (2015) and Shehata (2024), who also reported limited demographic effects in Arabic
learning. This suggests that demographic variables alone cannot explain variation in perceptions; rather, factors
such as task design, instructional strategies, and opportunities for authentic practice are likely to be more
decisive in shaping student attitudes.
DISCUSSION
Taken together, the results suggest that Business Management students at UiTM Mukah generally hold
positive views about learning Arabic, though they continue to face challenges with grammar, script, and the
lack of opportunities to use the language beyond the classroom. What stands out is that these perceptions
appear to be shaped less by demographic factors such as gender or prior exposure and more by the day-to-day
learning experience: the clarity of assignments, the quality of classroom interaction, and the availability of
meaningful practice opportunities.
This points to the importance of adopting task-based and communicative approaches, where grammar is
scaffolded and practiced in authentic contexts. Assignments that are structured to be rigorous yet manageable
can sustain motivation and, over time, strengthen competence. In that sense, the findings build on earlier
studies (Mamat & Ajape, 2015; Abdeldaim et al., 2023; Shehata, 2024) by showing that even students outside
language-focused disciplines respond positively when pedagogy is designed with care and relevance.

Future work could expand this discussion by including larger and more diverse student groups. Such research
would be well-placed to explore how specific teaching strategies interact with different learner backgrounds
and, in turn, shape perceptions of Arabic learning.
CONCLUSION
This study explored how Business Management students at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Mukah
perceive Arabic when it is offered as a third language. The overall findings are encouraging: many participants
viewed Arabic not merely as a subject to fulfil program requirements, but as a language that holds personal
and professional value. Their positive perceptions were supported by several factors, including a supportive
learning environment, structured yet approachable teaching methods, and coursework that students described
as fair and meaningful.
Even though most students expressed positive feelings about learning Arabic, many also spoke honestly about
the difficulties they faced. Several pointed out that Arabic grammar is complicated, that the writing system
feels unfamiliar, and that there are few chances to practise the language outside class. These points echo what
has been mentioned in other studies and show that students still need more focused and practical support to
overcome these hurdles.
When the data were analysed, there were no meaningful differences in students’ views based on gender or on
whether they had studied Arabic before. This finding implies that with good teaching methods and steady
support from the institution, students from different backgrounds can still develop a positive outlook toward
learning the language.
From a teaching point of view, the results stress how much difference a supportive and student-centred
classroom can make. Using digital tools in class, breaking lessons into smaller scaffolded tasks, and giving
students real chances to use Arabic in simple, authentic ways can make learning feel less intimidating. These
kinds of approaches help learners gain confidence and stay motivated over time.
Still, it is worth keeping in mind that this research was carried out in only one faculty at a single university.
Larger studies that include more campuses or different programmes would help to build a fuller picture and
allow comparisons across various learning contexts.
In short, improving Arabic education for non-language majors depends on finding a balance between
encouragement and challenge. When lessons connect closely with students’ own goals and experiences, Arabic
can be seen not just as another subject to pass, but as a useful and meaningful skill that adds to their personal
and professional growth.
FUTURE RESEARCH RECOMMENDATIONS
This study was conducted with a relatively small group of participants from a single campus, which naturally
constrains the generalisability of its findings. Future research could expand the sample to include students from
multiple campuses and academic programmes, using stratified sampling to reflect differences across study
levels and language proficiency. In addition to quantitative surveys, combining qualitative methods such as
interviews or classroom observations would provide a more nuanced understanding of students’ experiences.
Incorporating objective measures, including course performance or speaking assessments, could also
strengthen the validity of future analyses. Furthermore, applying advanced analytical techniques such as
regression modelling or longitudinal tracking may yield richer insights into how learners’ perceptions of
Arabic evolve over time and under varying instructional conditions.
