Abstract

Arabic listening (maharah istima') remains one of the most challenging language skills for junior secondary students due to differences in learning readiness, limited engaging instructional media, and low classroom participation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of differentiated learning using Arabic songs in improving the maharah istima' ability of eighth-grade students at MTs Taswirul Afkar Surabaya. The research employed a qualitative and Quantitative approach with action Research design involving 28 students and one Arabic language teacher. Data were collected over four months (February–May 2024) through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and group discussions. Differentiated learning was implemented through content, process, and product differentiation using Arabic songs such as Ummi, Madrasati, Qasidah Burdah, and Ana Muslim. The findings indicate substantial improvement in students' listening skills. The average score increased from 65.2 in the initial assessment to 78.4 after the first cycle, while the second cycle demonstrated an overall gain of 20.4 points (31.3%) compared with the baseline. Learning mastery improved from 32% to 64%, accompanied by high student enthusiasm (91%) and active participation (95%). This study contributes practical evidence that integrating differentiated learning with Arabic songs provides an effective, enjoyable, and inclusive strategy for enhancing Arabic listening competence in Islamic junior secondary education

Abstract

This study investigates the difficulties faced by junior high school students in developing maharah kitabah (writing skills) within Arabic language learning, focusing on errors from the perspective of imla’ (Arabic orthography). The problem arises from students’ limited exposure to Arabic in their previous learning environments, which impacts their ability to write correctly and fluently. Common challenges identified include difficulties in mastering Arabic letters, vocabulary limitations, grammatical errors, and incorrect connections between letters. To address these issues, effective learning strategies and environmental support—particularly from parents—are crucial. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach consisting of four stages: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The participants were students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Taswirul Afkar Surabaya. The findings indicate that the majority of students demonstrate fairly good writing proficiency; however, a small proportion still struggle with specific imla’ aspects, particularly in writing the hamzah and in adding or omitting letters unintentionally. The study contributes to understanding the relationship between imla’ mastery and Arabic writing performance, emphasizing the importance of integrating orthographic awareness in Arabic writing instruction. These insights can guide educators in designing more effective pedagogical approaches to improve maharah kitabah among learners of Arabic at the junior high school level.
