For an effective Arabic learning, there are many factors, influence positively or negatively the learning process, we’ve to take into consideration:
– Motivation: is very necessary in the process of language teaching/ learning, and can be of several types: “integrative motivation” and “instrumental motivation” (see Gardner & Lambert, 1972), intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, situational motivation, global motivation… (see Brown ,1981 and Ellis ,1989).
– Learning opportunities, such as: contact and communication with native speakers, traveling and living in a community speaking the target language (Morocco, Egypt…)
– Personality: introverted, extroverted…
– Age of the learner: child, adult, over 12 years old….
– Cognitive style and learning strategies: repetition, using mass media to get used to the accent of the target language (Arabic), using vacations to go to the countries of native speakers of the language learned…
– The learner’s attitudes towards the teacher and the program (positive, negative…).
– Group dynamics, intelligence and various mental operations…
