Summary, etc. This study compares the teaching methodologies used in English and Arabic classes and explores students’ perceptions regarding the role and status of English and Arabic in the Lebanese context. Three methods of inquiry were employed. A questionnaire, administered to ninety-two university students, was used to examine the students’ perceptions towards English and Arabic languages. Two focus group interviews, consisting of eleven preset questions, to which students responded by expressing their views in Arabic were done to look at the students’ perceptions. To conclude the study, an examination of two English and two Arabic syllabi was done. The responses drawn from the questionnaire were displayed in percentages, interviews were transcribed and generated under four main themes, and finally the syllabi were analyzed. Conclusions drawn from the three sources revealed that the students hold a variety of beliefs about learning English and Arabic, many of which seem to be related to the teaching methods used in both classrooms. Students appreciated English classes for using innovative teaching methods whereas Arabic classes were undervalued because they followed a traditional teaching approach. Students’ answers to the role and status of English and Arabic in the Lebanese context were surprising. Students ranked English as important for its vital role in the domains of education, business, trade, science, technology, and mass communication. Students saw Arabic also important because it is the mark of the Lebanese identity, and the Arabic affiliation and for religious purposes to Muslim students.
