Abstract

Despite growing evidence supporting game-based learning in second-language education, research on non-digital social deduction games for Arabic speaking development remains limited, particularly from integrated psycholinguistic and pragmatic perspectives in Islamic boarding school contexts. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Werewolf role-playing game in enhancing Arabic speaking proficiency through psycholinguistic and pragmatic lenses. Employing a mixed-methods one-group pretest–posttest design, the study involved 30 students at Darullughah Wadda’wah Islamic Boarding School who participated in twelve weekly Werewolf sessions within a maharah kalām course. Data were collected through speaking tests, classroom observations, audio recordings, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, Levelt’s speech production model, and Searle’s speech act theory. The findings indicate a 43% improvement in students’ fluency and confidence scores from pre-test to post-test. The game reduced speaking anxiety, increased spontaneous lexical retrieval, and encouraged active participation in Arabic interaction. Pragmatic analysis revealed the frequent emergence of assertive (31%), directive (28%), expressive (18%), commissive (14%), and declarative (9%) speech acts, demonstrating learners’ growing ability to persuade, negotiate, justify, and manage conversational exchanges. This study proposes a psychopragmatic model of Arabic speaking development in which affective engagement, real-time speech processing, and pragmatic meaning-making interact within a culturally grounded learning environment, highlighting the pedagogical potential of non-digital role-playing games for authentic Arabic communication.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformation of Arabic grammar (nahwu) learning through the use of the Nahwu Muyassar book in the Badar Arabic English Club (BAEC) program at Baitul Abidin Darussalam Islamic Boarding School, Wonosobo. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The subjects consisted of two Arabic language teachers and fifteen students participating in the BAEC program, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the use of Nahwu Muyassar facilitates students’ understanding of basic Arabic grammar rules because the material is presented in a concise, systematic, and practical manner. In addition, the integration of grammar instruction with a communicative approach through muhadatsah practice makes the learning process more contextual, interactive, and meaningful. These findings indicate that the use of simplified teaching materials combined with a communicative method can serve as an innovative alternative to improve the effectiveness of nahwu learning in Islamic boarding schools
