Abstract

This was a survey study which looked at the influence of Arab Spring phenomenon on the development of Arabic language learning in the multicultural society of North Sulawesi as well as its implications for the Arabic language learning model. The Arab Spring phenomenon that occurred from 2010 to 2011 that demanded a revolution in Arab countries reaped crucial impacts in various countries including Indonesia in terms of political, social, religious, cultural, and educational issues. The research method used the technique of proportionate stratified random sampling and involved 300 respondents from several regions in North Sulawesi Province based on three categories, namely areas that had a strong Muslim urban culture, areas that had a thick Islamic tradition, and areas that had Muslim minority issues. The results showed that the value of tcalculation > ttable (6.768 > 1.971). The foregoing demonstrated that Ho was rejected. Thus, it could be concluded that the Arab Spring had an effect on the existence of Arabic learning in the multicultural region of North Sulawesi in terms of interest and motivation. It also affected the content of Arabic teaching materials as well as the purpose and orientation of Arabic learning on the importance of Arabic as a language identity and Arabic as a communication language. Hence, the reconstruction of Arabic learning led to an increase in communication skills that contained local wisdom.Keywords: Arab Springs, Arabic Language Learning, Multicultural Society

Abstract

Grounded in Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, Language Scaffolding Skills (LSS), which mediate learning within the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), are essential for foreign-language acquisition. Although LSS has been extensively investigated in English as a Foreign Language (EFL), little is known about its distinctive features, applications, and effects in Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL), particularly given Arabic's linguistic complexity and cultural demands. This systematic literature review (SLR) addresses this gap by mapping the historical foundations, contemporary characteristics, and emerging research needs of LSS in AFL. The PRISMA protocol ensured methodological rigor, and NVivo was used for qualitative data analysis. From an initial pool of 1,724 records, a final sample of 21 empirical studies (2015–2025) was identified from international databases. The findings indicate that LSS in AFL is most frequently manifested through Constructive Feedback (CF) and the promotion of Increased Student Autonomy (ISA), primarily within productive skills (writing and speaking). Receptive skills (reading and listening) remain significantly under-explored. This SLR proposes a contextualized typology of LSS in AFL and outlines a critical agenda for future research, emphasizing the need for AI-based scaffolding and the integration of 21st-century competencies.
