English Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the problems that the non-natives face in learning Arabic at Public Jordanian Universities, their causes and the suggested solutions.
Particularly, it aimed at answering the following questions: 1- What are the problems that the non-native respondents encounter in learning Arabic in Jordan? 2- What factors might have caused these problems? 3- What solutions are suggested by the respondents to solve these problems? Two instruments were used namely informal interviews, and two questionnaires.
The researcher conducted informal interviews with five nonnative students and three professors of Arabic.
The questionnaires were sent to (20) teachers and (80) non-native students who learnt Arabic as a foreign language at the University of Jordan and Al-Albayt University.
Only (53) questionnaires were completed by the students and nine by the teachers.
The students and the teachers were interviewed to discuss their perceptions of the previous questions.
The percentages and means were calculated for the questionnaires and the interviews were narrated.
Results of the study have revealed that the non-native students encountered different problems in learning Arabic such as linguistic difficulties and problems that are related to textbook materials.
The causes of these problems are related to the nature of Arabic and textbook materials.
Different solutions are suggested for these problems.
