This study explores the challenges and opportunities in developing Arabic language curriculum within the digital learning era. The rapid advancement of educational technology has transformed traditional pedagogical approaches, presenting both obstacles and possibilities for Arabic language education. This research examines how digital transformation affects curriculum design, implementation strategies, and learning outcomes in Arabic instruction. Through comprehensive analysis of current practices and emerging trends, the study identifies key challenges including technological infrastructure limitations, digital literacy gaps among educators, resistance to pedagogical change, and concerns about maintaining linguistic authenticity. Simultaneously, the research highlights significant opportunities such as enhanced accessibility to learning resources, personalized learning experiences, innovative assessment methods, and increased student engagement through multimedia integration. Findings demonstrate that successful Arabic curriculum development in the digital era requires strategic planning, teacher professional development, appropriate technology selection, and balanced integration of traditional and modern approaches. This study contributes to understanding how Arabic language education can effectively navigate digital transformation while preserving linguistic and cultural integrity, offering practical recommendations for educators and curriculum developers.
