This paper examines one such all-inclusive methodology for teaching perception by AFL instructors at northern UAE universities. Whereas past works remarked that using a mixture of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) with oral, colloidal form had virtues, no consideration has been taken to practical impact as well as teacher expertise to application, this current mixed-methods investigation fills this gap by dividing 40 AFL instructors between a semi-structured discussion with five instructors.
Quantitative data gauges unanimous, favorable orientation to such global approach as best suited to learn as well as to teach Arabic. Qualitative results indicate such great hurdles to such adoption by teachers. Teacher attitude, ill-fitting of suitable tech-included materials, and quandary of whose spoken form to instruct are such hurdles. Such hurdles being posed by this research hold such great, tech-related implications to such teachers as are themselves subjects as well as such who make decisions regarding textbooks and syllabus. The latter admonishes such great need to adopt such a syllabus that incorporates MPA as well as one spoken form along with all such contemporary additions to acquire proper communicative ability in Arabic by students.
