This study aims to determine the relationship between the principles of constructivist theory and the steps of the direct method in teaching Arabic vocabulary at Luqman Hakim University. The study reveals that integrating the direct method, which focuses on using the language in real-life contexts, with constructivist theory, which emphasizes active learning and direct experience, leads to a significant improvement in students' mastery of Arabic vocabulary. Data were collected through observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of educational documents. The research findings indicate that vocabulary instruction combining these two approaches enhances students' speaking and writing skills while deepening their understanding of language use in real-life situations. Additionally, constructivist-based activities, such as conversations with native speakers and Arabic language competitions, have a positive impact on improving students' Arabic language skills. This study also recommends increasing the use of technology in Arabic language instruction to support both the direct method and constructivist theory. Overall, this study makes a significant contribution to the development of Arabic language teaching theory by integrating active and contextualized approaches.
