| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the innovative use of WhatsApp for teaching Arabic to international female students at Princess Nourah University in Saudi Arabia. Focusing on cooperative learning, it explores how WhatsApp interactions shape learner identities and support Arabic grammar learning. Guided by Norton’s theory of second-language learner identities and Johnson and Johnson’s cooperative learning model, the research examines identity shifts, cooperative strategies, and the negotiation of meaning in WhatsApp chats. Through chat analysis and interviews, the study offered insights into WhatsApp’s role in Arabic language acquisition and shed light on the broader role of social media platforms in the learning experiences of international higher education cohorts | |
