Abstract: The influence of mobile applications on the learning of Arabic as a foreign language from a teaching standpoint is examined in this paper which discusses how effective integration of digital means in language learning has been an unresolved issue. The researchers sought to investigate if mobile applications can help increase vocabulary for students who speak Arabic as their native tongue. Quantitative data collected through questionnaires and tests were combined with qualitative data from interviews and focus groups in a mixed-methods approach. The study found out that vocabulary retention and learner engagement significantly improved with mobile applications, providing a flexible and interactive platform for learning languages. In addition, the research points out that certain design features such as interface and content presentation are essential in promoting good learning experiences. This implies that there is potential for using mobile applications as supplementary resources in effective language teaching; hence these digital tools need to be integrated into conventional methods of instruction by teachers. Furthermore, future studies should examine how using mobile apps affects prolonged capability in addition to creating personalized ones which serve various learners’ requirements.
