Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Madurese phonetic interference on the accuracy of AI-based Arabic Speech Recognition systems. The research focuses on vowel-shift deviations produced by Madurese native speakers in Arabic pronunciation and evaluates the performance of Google Speech-to-Text and OpenAI Whisper in recognizing dialect-influenced Arabic speech. Using a mixed-method approach, speech data were collected from 13 sixth-semester students of the Arabic Language Education Department at UIN Madura through direct voice recording involving isolated words, continuous Arabic sentences, and Qur’anic recitations. Acoustic observation using Praat identified systematic vowel shifts, particularly the transitions of /a/ to [e], /i/ to [e], and /u/ to [o], which generated acoustic variability in Arabic speech production. The findings reveal that OpenAI Whisper achieved higher recognition accuracy (84.0%) with a lower Word Error Rate (16.0%) compared to Google Speech-to-Text, which obtained an accuracy of 61.8% and a WER of 38.2%. The dominant errors included substitution, deletion, insertion, and segmentation errors, indicating instability in phoneme mapping caused by dialect-induced vowel transitions. The study concludes that current AI-based Arabic Speech Recognition systems remain sensitive to low-resource dialect interference and that acoustic variability significantly affects recognition stability in multilingual speech environments. These findings highlight the importance of developing more adaptive and linguistically inclusive ASR models for Arabic language learning contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy of vertical bilingualism in Arabic as an instrument of citizen diplomacy and trust-building in securing international philanthropy. Addressing the gap in informal cross-border humanitarian communication, this qualitative study employed a phenomenological case study approach. Data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis of correspondence involving three Arabic Language Education lecturers at UIN Madura, a representative Middle Eastern donor, and university students actively engaged in the community service program. The results demonstrate that the program’s success relies on the tactical navigation of two linguistic varieties: the formal Fusha variety constructs institutional legitimacy and professional credibility in official proposals and reports, while the 'Ammiyah dialect (Egyptian) breaks down social distance and fosters emotional bonding during daily interactions. Coupled with real-time data transparency and student field involvement, this communicative flexibility effectively resolves cross-cultural expectations and technical geological challenges in the field. In conclusion, this sociolinguistic diplomacy successfully mobilized international philanthropy to build 12 borehole wells in drought-prone areas of Madura, resolving clean water crises for local communities. Furthermore, these findings advocate for a pedagogical reorientation in higher-education Arabic-language learning, shifting from rigid grammatical instruction toward problem-based learning and community service initiatives with real-world social impact.
