The purpose of this case study was to investigate the evolutions of interest and beliefs about Arabic as a foreign language among three Western faculty members at an education college in United Arab Emirates. The study used four data resources which were: interviews, field notes, reflective journals and an information form. After four months of learning Arabic, data from all resources were analyzed. Findings showed that while two participants became more interested in learning Arabic in general interests in Arabic became more diversified and detailed among all participants, negative beliefs about Arabic difficulty changed to positive ones and student centered teaching methods were found helpful instructional factors in the evolutions of participants' interest and beliefs about Arabic. Discussing beliefs of learners about Arabic at the beginning of learning is recommended.
