Abstract

The acquisition of Arabic vocabulary presents significant challenges due to the language’s complex morphology, script, and contextual usage, often leading to difficulties in retention and practical application. This study aims to investigate the impact of AI-powered language tools on enhancing Arabic vocabulary learning, focusing on learner engagement, personalized learning, and vocabulary retention. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of learners’ interactions with AI-based applications, with data analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that AI tools improve learner motivation, provide adaptive and personalized feedback, support spaced repetition and contextual practice, and enhance long-term retention and recall of vocabulary. Despite these benefits, challenges such as technological accessibility, dialectal variations, occasional AI inaccuracies, and the need for teacher guidance were identified. In conclusion, AI-powered tools serve as a valuable supplement to traditional instruction, fostering effective and engaging vocabulary acquisition, while future developments should focus on accessibility, contextual relevance, and integration with human-led pedagogical support to maximize learning outcomes.
