In first category (motives behind learning Arabic): (among Sultan collage, Center of International Studies, Lughati - my language institute) the result was in favor of sultan collage with more positive feedback. In the second category (learning methods used in learning Arabic): (among Sultan collage, center of international studies, Arabic experience institute) the result was again in favor to Sultan collage.

After analyzing the study results the researcher provided a number of recommendations such as: the importance of integrating the learners with the local community. This can be done by introducing the idea of family hostels in Oman. This method will give the learner an insight of how using Arabic language in the right context and it also will introduce the learner to a different Omani cultures. On the other hand, teachers will also benefit from this approach by designing methods based on exercises more related to reality and the everyday using of Arabic language.
