Description:	Learning Arabic as a foreign language is essential for Muslims all over the world in order to understand the Holy Book. The quest for effective teaching learning strategies and instructional approach in learning Arabic as a foreign language has been a challenge to educators in Jordan and throughout the world. Students must be in the center of learning in any effective approach to cater for each individual to achieve their objectives. Student-personalized learning environment can be met with (i) multisensory approach to teaching and learning, (ii) increasing student activity, to help student internalize their learning, and (iii) sufficient time to overcome student weaknesses. Within these needs, this study aimed at evaluating and modelling the design, development and implementation of the blended personalized learning module for Arabic language learningnamed BPALL. The BPALL framework has three major themes related to the research problem: (i) socialized learning environments, (ii) flexible delivery method, and (iii) personalization of learning environments. The BPALL framework was used to deliver the Arabic as a foreign language courses for Malaysian students at Al al-Bayt University. The framework was subsequently tested using data collected at the end of implementation phase. The questionaire consists of two sections to assess (i) the Blended learning for Arabic as a foreign language, and (ii) Personalized learning for Arabic as a foreign language. Finding and results of feasibility study, needs analysis, system design, and system development, as well as the usability tests were discussed in chapter three. Meanwhile, the results of data collected and analyzed from the implementation stage to come up with the model were presented in Chapter Four. Data collected from 157 Malaysian students at Al al- Bayt University who are learning Arabic as a Foreign Language were keyed into SPSS version 21. Subsequently, Smart PLS 3.0 was used to test the hypothesized influence of blended learning construct on personalized learning. The results showed (i) evidence of a five-dimension measurement model for blended learning, (ii) evidence of a four-dimension measurement model for personalized learning, (iii) positive impact of blended learning with significant effect on personalized learning at the (.01) level of significance (β = 0.757, t = 16.283, p < .01), and (iv) evidences of BPALL as a reliable and valid model for Malaysian students learning Arabic as a foreign language at Al al-Bayt University. Implications of the findings for social learning practice, research, theory, policy and education are discussed.,Certification of Master's/Doctoral Thesis" is not available
