    The Effectiveness of Online Learning and Teaching of Arabic as a Foreign Language in Turkish Universities
    (İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2023) Müezzin, A.D.; Jesry, M.; Ateek, M.; Heron, M.; Abdullah, A.; Ajam, S.
    Since (and particularly during) the Covid-19 pandemic, online teaching and learning methods have been adopted worldwide by educational institutions to meet the needs of students; Teaching Arabic as a foreign language is no exception. This study aims to investigate learners' and teachers' perceptions of learning and teaching Arabic as a foreign language online and the extent to which online learning supported the development of learner autonomy. This study was conducted at two Turkish universities that teach Arabic language as a foreign language. Data was collected through semi-structured online interviews with teachers and students of Arabic and diaries from teachers and students. Findings suggest that although online education promoted learner autonomy, it complements face-to-face education rather than replaces it. Findings also reveal that social media has a role in supporting online learning and that there is a need for more training for teachers in technology and curriculum. Based on the results, a set of pedagogical implications and recommendations for language teachers and policy makers are discussed. © 2023 Istanbul Universitesi. All rights reserved.
