| Summary: | The drastic technological advancement has paved the way for innovative
approaches to language learning, with smartphone applications emerging as
powerful tools in education. This systematic review explores the design and
evaluation of a smartphone application that enhances Arabic vocabulary
acquisition. Numerous language learning applications exist. Nevertheless, a
gap exists in the literature regarding the specific design elements and
evaluation criteria tailored for Arabic vocabulary acquisition. This review
addresses the lack of a consolidated understanding of the challenges and
opportunities in developing a smartphone application dedicated to learning
Arabic vocabulary. This comprehensive systematic review explores the design
and evaluation of smartphone applications dedicated to enhancing Arabic
vocabulary acquisition, employing advanced search techniques on Scopus and
Eric databases with keywords “smart phone,” “Arab,” and “vocabulary.” The
flow of the study is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. The final primary data (n
= 28) articles were identified, clustering around three main themes: (1)
Language Skills and Comprehension in Bilingual Contexts, (2) Technology
and Language Learning, and (3) Corpus and Text Analysis. This systematic
review contributes to the academic discourse by highlighting the current
landscape and paving the way for future research in the dynamic intersection
of technology and Arabic language education. This systematic review sheds
light on the current landscape of smartphone applications designed for learning
Arabic vocabulary. The findings from this review are expected to inform educators, developers, and policymakers, ultimately contributing to improving
Arabic language education through innovative technological solutions. |
