Abstract

Language immersion has traditionally been associated with native-speaker environments or residential systems, a view that has limited the pedagogical imagination of Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL) instruction in non-residential contexts. Addressing this gap, the present study reconceptualizes classroom immersion as a pedagogically constructed, classroom-centered model. Using a qualitative case study design at Madrasatul Alsun in Sidoarjo, the study draws on interviews with institutional leaders, teachers, and students, classroom observation, document analysis, and field notes. The findings show that classroom immersion is constructed through the integration of Arabic as the primary medium of instruction, the staged organization of comprehensible input, interactional design, the prioritization of acquisition over explicit learning, and the extension of language exposure through institutionally supported semi-immersive practices. The study concludes that this model does not constitute full or natural immersion; rather, it is best understood as a pedagogically designed semi-classroom immersion model that can be built, sustained, and adapted in non-residential contexts beyond reliance on a pre-existing natural language environment.

Abstract

This PRISMA 2020 systematic review maps AI technologies, populations, and speaking-related outcomes, evaluates comparative pedagogical evidence, and identifies gaps for a future research agenda. Framed by PICo with SPIDER elements, peer-reviewed English-language articles 2020–2025 were retrieved from Scopus and ERIC, with hand-searching in IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and Web of Science. Two reviewers screened records independently, disagreements were resolved by a third. Quality was appraised using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), synthesis followed a narrative approach. Of 1,485 records, 19 studies met inclusion criteria. Reclassified pedagogically, 14 of 19 were technical or model-development studies, 2 of 19 qualitative case studies, and 3 of 19 diagnostic, descriptive, or adoption studies. Speech and audiovisual systems dominated the evidence base 11 of 19, followed by NLP text-only applications 4 of 19 and a heterogeneous cluster 4 of 19. Only 4 of 19 studies involved non-native learners, none operationalised fluency, prosody, comprehensibility, or communicative competence. No study directly compared AI-supported and non-AI Arabic instruction. The Arabic AI literature demonstrates technological feasibility but not pedagogical superiority. Second Language Acquisition grounding remains limited, implicit, or insufficiently operationalised.
