Abstract: The teaching of Arabic in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia faces challenges in effectively engaging students to master the language. Video-based learning is seen as an innovation that can enhance the flexibility and engagement of students in Arabic language instruction. However, there are still limitations in the use of this approach, which impact the level of student proficiency. This research aims to explore how video as a teaching aid can improve the effectiveness of Arabic language teaching in Malaysian HEIs. The study employs a qualitative approach, gathering data through semi-structured interviews with students and Arabic language lecturers at selected HEIs, along with content analysis of the learning videos used in class. The findings reveal that the use of videos, particularly interactive and culturally-based ones, has a positive impact on students’ motivation and understanding of the Arabic language. However, challenges related to the preparation of relevant video materials and access to technology need to be addressed. The study implies that innovation in the use of video can not only improve the effectiveness of Arabic language instruction but also provide students with opportunities to learn in a more flexible and engaging environment. Recommendations are made for HEIs in Malaysia to increase the use of video technology in teaching and to provide specific training for lecturers to produce high-quality teaching videos.
