This study aims to identify the challenges encountered by pre-service teachers studying in the Arabic language teaching Program in developing their listening and speaking skills and to investigate whether there is a significant relationship between the challenges pre-service teachers encounter in their listening and speaking skills by using correlation analysis. It employs a mixed-method research design, using content analysis to identify challenges and correlation analysis to examine the relationship between the challenges faced in these two language skills. The qualitative findings indicate that preservice teachers encounter difficulties in various aspects, including vocabulary and semantics, the structure of language, emotional factors, and teaching methodologies. As for the quantitative analysis, a significant correlation is found between listening and speaking skills challenges, suggesting a reciprocal relationship between these skills. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing emotional barriers, effective teaching methodologies, and course materials to foster holistic language development. The study has implications for pre-service teacher education, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and ongoing professional development for teacher educators to educate preservice teachers effectively. Additionally, suggestions for the Arabic Language Teaching curriculum are included.
