Abstract

Mastering sentence word order is a fundamental aspect of developing Arabic composition skills, particularly for beginner-level learners. However, many Arabic writing instructors focus heavily on essay-based Insya’ exercises without first ensuring students’ proficiency in constructing grammatically sound sentences. This study examines the effectiveness of Sentence Word Order Manipulation as a pedagogical approach to improving students' coherence, fluency, and syntactic accuracy in Arabic writing. Conducted at Pondok Pesantren Darullughah Wadda’wah, this qualitative study involved 30 second-year Ibtida’iyyah (2 Ibt) students with limited prior knowledge of structured Arabic composition. The research employed a classroom-based intervention, incorporating pre-test and post-test assessments, sentence arrangement exercises, classroom observations, and interviews with teachers and students. The findings indicate that structured sentence-building exercises significantly enhance students’ writing fluency, with post-test results showing an 80% improvement in sentence accuracy compared to the pre-test. Additionally, students reported increased confidence in writing, as the approach helped them internalize syntactic rules in a more practical and engaging manner. The study concludes that scaffolded learning models, particularly sentence order exercises, should be integrated into Maharah Kitabah instruction to strengthen students’ foundational composition skills before transitioning to paragraph and essay writing. Future research should explore the long-term impact of this approach on free composition skills and the potential use of technology-enhanced learning tools in Arabic writing instruction.

Abstract

Mastering a foreign language requires not only memorization but also overcoming deeply ingrained linguistic habits. For Banjar learners studying Arabic, phonological and grammatical challenges pose significant barriers to fluency. This study explores the phonological and grammatical errors encountered by Banjar learners in Arabic speaking skills at Pesantren Darullughah Wadda'wah Putri. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, it identifies the prevalent types of errors, their underlying causes, and potential pedagogical strategies for improvement. The findings reveal significant phonological issues, including substitutions of Arabic phonemes influenced by the Banjar dialect, as well as grammatical inconsistencies due to overgeneralization and limited exposure to authentic Arabic structures. The study highlights native language interference, lack of phonetic training, and psychological barriers, such as fear of criticism, as primary causes of these challenges. Proposed solutions include intensive phonetic drills, immersive language environments, context-based grammar instruction, and the integration of cultural and technological resources. This research contributes to Arabic language pedagogy by providing targeted strategies to enhance the proficiency of Banjar learners, bridging linguistic gaps while respecting their cultural identity.
