: This research paper aims to address the impact of English language teaching on Arabic language learning in primary education. Two groups of Arabic and English language inspectors were selected to conduct the interviews, using group interviews. The importance of teaching Arabic and its skills to primary school students is well known.

At the same time, we must recognize that English is a global language, the language of science and technology, and is needed by many Libyan students who aspire to pursue postgraduate studies, such as master's and doctoral degrees. This paper answers profound questions that are being ignored by officials and clearly demonstrates the need to prioritize the education sector, as it is the driving force behind society's advancement.

This paper provides recommendations for improving the learning of Arabic and English
