Abstract

Effective mastery of Arabic script remains a fundamental challenge for non-native beginners, necessitating the evaluation of digital learning tools. This study aims to describe the Write It Arabic application and explain how it is used to develop writing skills for beginner learners of the Arabic language. The researcher employed a descriptive method by collecting information related to the application’s features, its method of presenting Arabic letters, and the training mechanisms provided to users. The findings indicate that the application offers an appropriate learning environment for beginners, as it presents the form and pronunciation of each letter, followed by a visual demonstration of the steps for writing it, before guiding learners to a practical training stage that relies on direct recognition of handwriting. The results also show that the program provides several useful features, including short lessons, immediate feedback, and the ability to repeat exercises, in addition to assessment tools that help evaluate learners’ proficiency levels. However, the study also identifies several limitations, such as the application’s focus on letters only without progressing to word-level writing, the presence of advertisements in certain versions, and the limited availability of free content. The novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on the mechanical-kinesthetic features of handwriting recognition in Arabic MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning). The study concludes that the Write It Arabic application can serve as an effective tool to support the teaching and learning of basic writing skills, both in classroom settings and self-directed learning contexts, provided that further development is undertaken to include higher levels of writing skills.

Abstract

Digital applications are among the modern educational tools that respond to learners’ needs and can be effectively utilized to facilitate Arabic language instruction, particularly in developing reading skills among non-native Arabic learners. This study aimed to analyze the use of the Duolingo application in teaching reading skills to first-year secondary school female students at Al-Zamil Islamic Center within the context of Islamic education in Indonesia, with a focus on identifying its advantages and limitations. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through direct observation and analysis of the educational activities and linguistic content available in the application, as well as interviews with several students, and were analyzed descriptively. The findings revealed that the Duolingo application incorporates vocabulary, sentences, and dialogues, provides immediate feedback, and presents activities progressively based on the principle of gamification, all of which support the development of reading skills. The findings from the analysis and interviews also indicated that the application offers several advantages, including ease of use and increased motivation among first-year secondary school female students. However, it has certain limitations, including the absence of a direct pathway for teaching Arabic to Indonesian-speaking learners, limited practice in reading advanced texts, an emphasis on short sentences, and reliance on translation in some activities. These findings suggest that Duolingo can be utilized as an effective supplementary educational tool for teaching reading skills to first-year secondary school female students at Al-Zamil Islamic Center under teacher supervision, provided that a dedicated pathway for Indonesian-speaking learners is developed and appropriate reading texts for advanced levels are added.
