This study demonstrated the difficulties that the pedagogical approaches which include instructional materials availability and usability when teaching Arabic. Projectors, audio cassettes, instructional videos, and Arabic-programmed computers are mentioned in teaching materials used in education colleges to teach the Arabic language.
