The art of communication through the gift of language is an exclusive prerogative of humans. Language bestows people with the power to organizing, planning, shaping, and controlling other human beings at various levels starting from child-parent interactions to propaganda on radio and television advertising. Our societal participation requires us to recognize and reflect the symbols and sounds that indicate our ideas and thoughts, which is crucial. There are numerous languages in the world. Thus, human beings share their skills for harnessing the creativity within them to enhance their living by invoking their ability to acquire several languages. They strive to understand also the languages, which are unknown to them. Neurological factors in language acquisition and retention play an essential role in learning different languages. Language acquisition and retention exist in the Arab population as well. The Arab people have observed an optimistic and rapid variation in the utilization of the English language in their education and business. This adoption of the English language has made them literate and empowered them. Problems are still prevailing among Arab learners, as they struggle to comprehend English and have difficulties in expressing themselves through English. They are acquiring other languages and retaining their usage in learning, as the second language becomes strenuous due to lack of motivation. This research paper analyzes and contextualizes the problems associated with understanding, learning and acquisition of English as a second language, specifically among Arab learners.
