The metaverse's environment offers a unique opportunity for immersive learning experiences that can enhance education in ways never before possible. By creating virtual environments that simulate real-world scenarios, students can actively engage with the material and practice their skills in a safe and controlled setting. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn, making education more interactive, engaging, and effective for students of all ages. The integration of the metaverse's environment into Arabic language learning can provide non-native speakers with a more engaging and interactive learning experience. By creating virtual environments that simulate real-life situations, students can practice their language skills in a more realistic and practical way. The participants were 60 learners from non-native speakers enrolled in an Arabic Language course for intermediate level in the Arabic Language Center for Non-Native Speakers at the faculty of education at Mansoura University. The findings of research found that the immersive approach could help increase students' motivation to learn Arabic as a second language, leading to greater academic success in the subject. Additionally, the use of the metaverse can also help bridge the gap between language learners and native speakers, providing opportunities for real-time communication and cultural exchange.
