Abstract

Arabic language education is often implemented as a single-language learning process, despite the fact that many learners live in multilingual environments. This condition raises an important question regarding how multilingual perspectives can contribute to the understanding and development of Arabic language education. Therefore, this study aims to identify the conceptual relationship between language education and multilingualism, analyze how multilingual perspectives are applied in Arabic language learning based on previous studies, examine the contribution of multilingual competence to the effectiveness of Arabic language learning, and synthesize research findings related to the relationship between Arabic language education and multilingualism. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to analyze academic literature discussing language education, Arabic language learning, and multilingualism. The data were collected from various scholarly publications, including journal articles and academic books, which were selected based on relevance to the research topic. The analysis was conducted by organizing and synthesizing findings from previous studies in order to identify conceptual patterns and relationships among the examined themes. The findings reveal that multilingualism plays a significant role in shaping Arabic language education by enabling learners to utilize their existing linguistic knowledge as cognitive resources in acquiring Arabic. The interaction between multiple languages facilitates comprehension, communication, and cross-linguistic awareness in the learning process. In conclusion, the integration of multilingual perspectives provides an important conceptual framework for understanding and developing more effective Arabic language education in multilingual learning environments.
