The Legal Arabic Course is one of the key offerings for law students, aimed at enhancing their proficiency in Arabic within the context of legal studies. However, many students perceive Arabic as a challenging language, which often diminishes their interest and engagement with the course. To address this issue, an innovative music based learning approach was implemented, incorporating activities such as singing, role-playing and group presentations. These methods aimed to create a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment. A quantitative research design was employed, involving questionnaires distributed to 174 law students at a Malaysian university. The findings revealed that the music-based teaching approach had a significant positive impact, increasing students' motivation, interest, and comprehension of course content. These results underscore the potential of creative pedagogical strategies, such as music, in transforming the learning experience for Legal Arabic. The study highlights the importance of innovative teaching methods to support better mastery of Arabic in legal studies, encouraging educators to adopt more dynamic and effective approaches.
