الملخص EN

This study aimed to identify the attitudes of learners of Arabic as a second language toward learning Arabic vernacular.

Specifically, the study attempted to investigate the reasons behind their attitudes toward learning Arabic vernacular, as well as the extent to which they want to learn it.

A questionnaire was employed to collect and analyze data quantitatively.

The researcher surveyed 57 male learners studying at an Arabic language institute in Saudi Arabia, and with different nationalities.

The results indicated that most of the participants' (95% ) have the desire to learn an Arabic vernacular, and the most reported reason for that was to have “a better and easier communication with Ar”.

However, the results showed a disparity among the participants in terms of which proficiency level they want to achieve in an Arabic vernacular, while most of them just wanted to learn common words and phrases that help them in daily conversations with the ArThere was another disparity among their answers regarding whether a vernacular Arabic should be taught in Arabic institutions.

The study concluded with some implications and recommendations for those working in the field.
