Abstract

Fossilization is one of the main problems in learning Arabic as a
foreign language. It happens when phonological, lexical, and
grammatical errors stay in the learner's language even after many
corrections. At the same time, the use of digital learning is growing,
but its direct potential to prevent fossilization has not been fully
explained. This study aims to analyze the role of digital learning
strategies in preventing fossilization through a Systematic Literature
Review of 30 selected publications from 2015 to 2024. The results
show three main trends. The first is the use of LMS and e learning
platforms. The second is the integration of artificial intelligencebased tools, such as translanguaging chatbots. The third is the
readiness of institutional policies. Further analysis reveals that
digital learning can help prevent fossilization through automatic
feedback that enhances noticing, adaptive practice that breaks
repeated error patterns, and learning environments that provide rich
input. The main contribution of this study is the mapping of the direct
relationship between digital features such as automatic correction,
learning analytics, and AI-based translanguaging and the cognitive
mechanisms that support the restructuring of the learner's
interlanguage. These findings give a conceptual basis for teachers
and institutions to design digital Arabic learning that is more
effective and more responsive to linguistic errors.
