Abstract

The aim of this study is to facilitate learning Arabic vocabulary for non-Arabic learners by specifying the standards necessary for designing mobile applications. The study followed a descriptive-analytical approach in which the standards of application design from previous studies were examined and analyzed in order to extract the relevant standards for designing applications of learning Arabic vocabulary for non-Arabic learners. The results were presented to some evaluators whose ideas were incorporated into the study. This study consists of six axes, nine standards and fifty-eight indicators. Furthermore, a series of suggestions were made including using the standards introduced in this study in developing applications for learning vocabulary and conducting evaluation studies on applications according to these specified standards.
