Abstract

The role of technology is massive across various fields, including the learning of Arabic. This study aimed to explore the role of technology as a catalyst in transforming Arabic language learning patterns. The research fell under the category of library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. The focus of the study was on analyzing research journals that discuss the use of technology in Arabic language learning. The results showed that the role of technology in contemporary Arabic language learning (21st century) through various media such as artificial intelligence, applications, different digital platforms, and social media had a positive impact on the ease of access to communication, facilitating learning, delivering material, and providing evaluations in the context of digital learning. Technology played a crucial role in the success of learning and overcoming the barriers of distance, space, and time. Technology had given rise to many media such as animated videos, podcasts, cognitive game applications, and learning based on virtual reality and augmented reality, contributing to enriching students' understanding of Arabic language skills. The use of technology as a learning medium had become a daily necessity in the present day.

Abstract

Language reflects the realities of human life activities. As social beings, humans require communication, which functions effectively when facilitated by language. Therefore, language influences human thought patterns. Polite language, a hallmark of Indonesian culture, has been passed down through generations, underscoring the close relationship between language and culture. Effective language expression is also supported by good literacy understanding. This study aims to explain language use in society through the Ethnography of Communication approach, emphasizing the importance of context in interpreting speech and its functions. Linguists have traditionally found it easy to explain sentences from grammatical and semantic perspectives but often struggle with the intention and functional use of speech. Ethnography of Communication seeks to address this gap by incorporating aspects of speech or communication, thus making linguistic components more comprehensive. The research method used was a literature study, with library materials serving as the primary data source. The findings indicate that language was structured according to patterns, not randomly, but within subsystems such as phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. These patterns correspond to the needs and functions of each societal group. Ethnography of Communication examines the communication patterns of a community or cultural society, highlighting the role of language in the communicative behaviour of a society and how language was used within different cultures.
