Abstract


Abstract: This research investigates the role of the learning environment in Arabic matriculation programs and its impact on student motivation and learning outcomes. The method used is a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative). Qualitative data was obtained through in-depth interviews with students and teachers to explore perceptions of the classroom atmosphere, teacher support, and learning facilities. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires measuring motivation and perceptions of the learning environment, and analyzed alongside exam results. The sample consisted of 100 students from three institutions. Linear regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between students' perceptions of the learning environment—particularly teacher support and facility comfort—and motivation and academic achievement. Qualitative findings supported these results, highlighting the role of classroom atmosphere and interpersonal interactions in enhancing learning engagement. These findings provide important insights into the learning environment factors that support the success of Arabic language learning, emphasizing the importance of student-centered instructional design.
