| description | The success of a second language teaching and learning is one of the central topics in cognitive
science. Theories of cognition had tried to explain it; probably no other topic has aroused such
controversy. Generally, commentators have focused on the technical difficulties of working with a second
language such as grammatical rules and pronunciation. However, the technical aspects of a language are
just a matter of absolving a natural phenomenon. The real problem here came from the stereotypes of
dealing methodologies and it should be evaluated before a comparison can be made. This step is a
principal responsibility of every teacher who strives to use their observations and evaluations to improve
their teaching effectiveness and always look forward to learn, develop or apply new research-based
teaching practices within their teaching methods. In the case of learning Arabic, memorization can be
assumed to be a difficult task to Malay learners. For this reason, this study was tried to evaluate the
effectiveness and practicalities of the “Key-word method” in improving the betterment of both teachers
and learners performance and the ability enhancement in overcoming the challenges, so that they become motivated in achieving their learning target and become innovative in their learning activities. |
