Students’ Acceptance of Learning to Speak Arabic through Flip

Abstract

Speaking has always been the hardest and most challenging skill for many students learning Arabic as a foreign language, even at the tertiary level. Educators and students can use Flip, one of the most recent platforms for student-produced videos, to overcome this problem. This study aimed to evaluate students' acceptance of using Flip in learning to speak Arabic in terms of perceived ease of use, perceived usability, and attitude towards using Flip. A total of 61 diploma students participated in this study. A quantitative approach was employed, and the data was collected by distributing an online questionnaire to the targeted samples. The data were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The findings revealed high student acceptance of using Flip to learn to speak Arabic. This study suggested that educators teaching speaking in a foreign language should apply innovative methods rather than conventional ones to enhance their teaching.
