This study aims to discover the contribution of Arabic corpus in language studies, and to explain it’s role in learning and teaching Arabic language. This study analyses two Malaysian corpora which are Arabic Textbooks Corpus and Arabic Corpus of International Islamic University Malaysia. The first corpus is on Arabic textbooks used in Malaysian secondary schools by the first until the fifth years of the secondary schools. The second corpus contains academic texts for example from theses, conference papers and journal articles. The result of this study shows the word list and concordance for both corpuses. This study proves that the corpus is important to develop the language among learners, teachers, writers of textbooks, exercise books and dictionaries. The word list is regarded as the basic reference in language study as well as in learning and teaching of language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
