This study investigates the efficacy of using AI-translated animations to enhance Arabic vocabulary acquisition among second-year students at the University of Islamic Sciences Malaysia. Traditional teaching methods often fail to engage non-native learners, resulting in poor vocabulary retention. This research aims to explore whether AI-translated animations can provide a more engaging and effective learning experience. In modern education, animations, defined as sequences of visually engaging images, have emerged as powerful tools, particularly with advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study explores how translated animations enhance vocabulary acquisition among linguistic students, focusing on second-year Arabic linguistics students at the University of Islamic Sciences Malaysia. By integrating AI, animations provide audiovisual content that improves linguistic awareness, pronunciation, and comprehension, fostering an enjoyable and effective learning environment (Webb, 2010). Research highlights significant challenges in mastering Arabic vocabulary among non-native learners, often attributed to traditional teaching methods reliant on textbooks and blackboards (Hussein Salahuddin, 2020; Noorhayati, 2011). These outdated approaches result in disengagement and poor performance, particularly in vocabulary sections. Conversely, lessons incorporating animations demonstrate improved vocabulary retention and understanding. This research seeks to address the question: What tools can enhance and support Arabic vocabulary mastery?
