  ABSTRACT: The present literature review examines the factors that impact the motivation for learning Arabic as a foreign language. The review identifies and discusses several key factors that have been explored in recent studies, such as learners’ backgrounds and attitudes towards Arabic language and culture, the perceived usefulness of the language, and teaching approaches and teachers’ personality. The review suggests the significance of integrating cultural learning components into the curriculum and encouraging learners’ appreciation of Arabic language and culture. It also emphasizes the need for instructors to help learners identify practical opportunities to use the language, and explore innovative and diverse teaching techniques, including the use of technology and digital tools. Finally, the review highlights the importance of providing a safe and supportive learning environment, where learners can practice their AFL skills without fear of criticism.
