Abstract

This study explores the students' perceptions of the results of Contextual Teaching Learning (CTL) implementation in the Arabic speaking skill lectures based on the typical characteristics of the Student-Centered Learning approach in their class. The researchers need information on whether implementing a method in the context of the Arabic language skills in tertiary institutions meets the Student-Centered Learning approach criteria. In addition, most of the research still focuses on describing the method's implementation. It ignores the achievement of the method on the criteria for the Student-Centered Learning approach. This study uses an exploratory investigation to understand implementation results in-deeply. Thirty AFL students with different cultural backgrounds completed a questionnaire about their perceptions of successful implementation. The findings reveal that implementing CTL in teaching the Arabic speaking skills meets the typical characteristics of the Student-Centered Learning approach. Moreover, some students also give positive suggestions to achieve a more optimal standard. Therefore, this study provides some recommendations and directions for further studies.
