Abstract

This study aims to analyze the gap between theoretical constructs and empirical practices in Arabic language proficiency tests in Indonesian higher education, as well as to identify the direction of standardization that is able to bridge the orientation of Arabic language proficiency in Higher Education in two categories, namely Arabic Language Education and Arabic Literature. This research uses a qualitative approach with an a priori-oriented case study method, conducted at two public general universities in Indonesia, one specializing in Arabic Language Education and the other in Arabic Literature. Data were collected through document analysis (covering two curricula, test instruments, syllabi, and learning outcomes) and semi-structured interviews with two lecturers who also serve as test developers. The analysis was conducted using theory-driven thematic analysis to examine the constructs of proficiency, skill representation, and standardization practices. The findings indicate significant gaps in three main aspects: (1) constructs that are still oriented towards language knowledge rather than language use, (2) an imbalance in skill representation with a dominance of qira’ah and a lack of productive skills, and (3) the absence of calibrated standards across institutions. Furthermore, there is a dichotomy between the communicative (Arabic Language Education) and analytical (Arabic Literature) approaches that have not been integrated into the test design. This research offers a conceptual contribution by positioning Arabic language proficiency as an integrative competency that combines communicative and analytical dimensions, while simultaneously bridging two previously separate disciplines. This study provides a basis for the development of more representative, contextual, and standardized proficiency tests at the higher education level.

Abstract

Arabic language education in Indonesia must adapt to technological advancement and students' contextual needs. This study aimed to develop Arabic teaching materials based on the Merdeka (Independent) Curriculum and analyze their effectiveness in improving students’ Arabic language skills at MAN Pandeglang, Banten. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) design, the study followed four phases: needs analysis, material development, classroom implementation, and evaluation. The materials were designed using a communicative approach, project-based learning, and digital integration to create an interactive and student-centered learning experience. Needs analysis revealed significant gaps in existing materials, particularly in engaging students and promoting communication. Implementation in classroom settings showed that students responded positively, with greater motivation and participation. Evaluation through pretests and posttests demonstrated significant improvement, especially in speaking and listening skills. The study concludes that the developed materials are effective and suitable for Arabic instruction aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum, contributing to a more relevant, practical, and engaging Arabic learning environment for Indonesian students.
