In an era where the digital realm is redefining the boundaries of learning, the teaching of Arabic acquires new dimensions. This field targets specific audiences with distinct characteristics and complex linguistic needs. In particular, the instruction of Arabic to specialists faces a range of issues and challenges that require focused guidance and attention. This research paper aims to highlight the main issues, such as the diversity of learners’ goals, needs, and motivations. The importance of e-learning and the methodologies for utilizing digital resources to enhance the effectiveness of Arabic language instruction in general with that for specialists and also for general life situations are underscored. Major challenges faced in this process, particularly in the Arab world are discussed. The findings of this study underscore the importance of integrating e-learning and digital tools in teaching Arabic to specialists and highlight the need for greater efforts to develop educational curricula. And recommendations for improving the outcomes of Arabic language education are provided.
