Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe that the Government of Kuwait, through its official social media, uses a lot of euphemistic and dysphemic language styles in conveying information in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative approach with content analysis to understand the symbolic messages contained in documents, paintings, dances, songs, literary works, and others as unstructured data. The data collection technique used is the observation and note-taking technique. Listening in the context of this study means reading, which is then recorded to document the data obtained. The data analysis technique used is the equivalent referential technique to find out grammatical units such as euphemisms and dysphemisms, while to analyze the background of the use of euphemisms and dysphemisms, pragmatic equivalent analysis is used. Based on the results of an analysis of data obtained from the official social media of the Ministry of Health of Kuwait, many euphemistic and dysphemistic forms were found in conveying information regarding the latest matters and developments regarding Covid-19 in the country of Kuwait. It is used for specific purposes. The purpose of using euphemistic forms is to avoid mentioning negative reality, which aims to minimize the harmful effects of utterances that seem scary, worrying, make noise, offend, hurt, disrespect, or violate social norms. Euphemistic forms also aim to evoke an optimistic attitude toward residents in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. The use of the dysphemistic form used by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health in presenting information about matters related to Covid-19 in that country is aimed at scaring, showing annoyance, and giving warnings so that they are even more vigilant in dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the lack of motivation and interest of students in learning Arabic, which is caused by the use of monotonous learning media and the lack of utilization of digital media. The purpose of this study is to measure students' perceptions by using Baamboozle game media on students' learning motivation in learning Arabic. The method used was a quantitative survey involving 55 respondents from several Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Serang Regency. The instrument used was a Likert questionnaire to measure students' learning motivation, and data were collected through observation and questionnaires after the implementation of the game in learning. The results showed that the use of Baamboozle game significantly increased students' learning motivation by 51% with a high positive response to the more interactive and fun learning. In addition, students feel more enthusiastic and involved in the learning process. In conclusion, the application of game-based learning media such as Baamboozle can be an effective strategy to increase students' motivation and engagement in learning Arabic, as well as creating a more dynamic learning atmosphere.

Abstract

This study was conducted because of the low ability of students in writing skills (kitabah) in class VII of SMP Boarding School Daarul Barkah.Thus this study aims to obtain information about the effect of using the picture word inductive model (PWIM) strategy applied to Arabic language subjects, especially in writing learning, namely kitabah al-muwajjahah. The research methodology used is quantitative with quasi experiment with nonequivalent control group design. This study used two classes as research samples, namely class VII a as a control class with 15 students and class VII b as an experimental class, which numbered 16 students, with a total of 31 students. The sample used in this study used random sampling technique which was carried out randomly in the experimental class. The experimental results obtained and have been processed in the paired sample t-test show (sig < a) which is (.000 < 0.05) stating H⁰ is rejected, and Hª is accepted, indicating that student learning outcomes regarding kitabah skills using the PWIM strategy are higher than student learning outcomes using conventional learning. The conclusion of this study is that the PWIM strategy applied to Arabic language learning, especially for learning kitabah al-muwajjah, has a significant effect seen from the increase in post-test scores after the use of the PWIM strategy.

Abstract

This study critically examines the philological and historical-comparative linguistic approaches developed by Western orientalists in analyzing the Qur'anic lexicon and their implications for the doctrine of the authenticity and purity of the language of revelation in Islam. It also explores Muslim scholars' responses to claims of foreign language influence in the lexical construction of the sacred text. Starting from the assumption that the Qur'an contains elements of Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Ethiopic languages, orientalists such as Theodor Nöodeke, Abraham Geiger, Arthur Jeffery, and Christoph Luxenberg attempted to interpret the Qur'anic text as an evolutive product of pre-Islamic Arabic culture and history. This approach, despite its contribution to the field of language history, has been criticized by Muslim scholars for ignoring the theological dimension and sacredness of the Qur'an as divine revelation. Using a qualitative method and a desk study approach, this research analyzes key works from both orientalists and Muslim scholars. The results show that Western philological approaches to the Qur'an are not scientifically neutral but contain historical-critical assumptions that often contradict the normative-transcendental approach in the Islamic tradition. In response, contemporary Muslim scholars have developed an integrative approach that balances linguistic studies with contextual interpretation and emphasizes the importance of taking into account the dynamics of classical Arabic, Qur'anic rhetorical structures, and the context of revelation. As such, this study affirms the importance of a multidisciplinary and dialogical approach in understanding the complexity of Qur'anic vocabulary in order to avoid methodological reductionism and maintain the epistemic integrity of the revealed text.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of the online learning platform Mondly Language on the Arabic writing skills of seventh-grade students. Writing proficiency is a crucial yet often neglected component of language learning. Adopting a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the research involved two sample groups: an experimental group using Mondly Language and a control group employing traditional teaching methods. After conducting normality tests, data were collected through pre- and post-tests, leading to the application of a non-parametric statistical analysis using the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05), indicating that the use of Mondly Language positively influences students’ Arabic writing development. Key contributing factors to the effectiveness of the platform include its engaging visual interface, gamification-based interactivity, and varied exercises that promote active student participation in composing Arabic sentences. The findings support the integration of creative, technology-based instructional strategies to enhance Arabic writing skills among junior high school students.

Abstract

Arabic has an important position in the Islamic education system in Indonesia, not only as a means of religious communication, but also as a medium for shaping the social and religious identity of students. However, learning practices in madrasas, including in Banten Province, still face challenges in integrating spiritual, national, and linguistic values as mandated in KMA No. 183 of 2019. This study aims to systematically examine the role of Arabic language learning in shaping the social-religious identity of madrasah students in Banten using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The analysis was conducted on the policies of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, reputable national and international scientific articles, and local research results published in the 2015–2025 period. The results of the study show that curriculum implementation is still dominated by a structural approach, lacks innovation, and is not yet fully contextual. However, the integration of local values and digital literacy has been proven to increase learning motivation, strengthen the sense of belonging, and build an inclusive and adaptive Indonesian-Muslim identity in the face of globalization. The contribution of this research lies in strengthening the theoretical and practical perspectives on Arabic language learning as a means of fostering religious-national character through the development of contextual curricula, improving teacher competence, and utilizing digital technology in madrasahs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Arabic learning material conducted by Pusiba and El-Darosah, which are official institutions for language studies for preparing prospective students who want to study in the Middle East, especially Egypt. This institution prepared language skills, aspects of mentality, and Islamic and national insight based on Al-Azhar's vision. This research was qualitative, using content analysis and sociolinguistic approaches, in which the study of a language was not only limited to the involvement of intrinsic as structure’s perceptions, but also extrinsic aspects, such as social, cultural, economic, political and others were done by post-structuralism. This research showed that the Pusiba and El-Darosah institutions as their official representatives have succeeded in explaining the identity of Al-Azhar, that is wasatiyah (moderate) Islamic views contained learning texts which were the main axis in learning Arabic such as al-Islam wa Huriyah al-‘Aqidah, al-‘Adl fi al-Islâm, al-‘Adl fi Mu’âmalah Ahl al-Diyânât al-Ukhrâ, Samâhah al-Islam ma’a Ahl al-Diyânât al-Ukhrâ, Mafhûm al-Huriyah fi al-Islam, al-Hiwâr ma’a al-Âkhar, and Al-Azhar wa Wasathiyah al-Islam, which were presented in several steps of Arabic learning books developed by Al-Azhar university.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examined whether the Hot Seat strategy yields greater gains in Arabic speaking proficiency than conventional instruction among Grade 8 learners. Design/methods/approach – A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with intact classes was implemented at Islamic Junior High School (MTs) Fathur Rabbani, Cisoka–Tangerang, with 44 students allocated to an experimental class (Hot Seat) and a control class (conventional lessons). Speaking performance was assessed individually using parallel tasks at baseline and post-intervention, and group means and gains were compared. Findings – The experimental class improved from 48.64 to 81.36 (mean gain = 32.73), while the control class rose from 55.00 to 68.64 (mean gain = 13.64), producing a between-group gain difference of 19.09 points in favor of Hot Seat. These results indicate that structured role rotation, calibrated questioning, and rapid formative feedback can substantially increase both the quantity and quality of meaningful oral turns within equivalent instructional time. Research implications – The findings support the pedagogical value of dialogic, accountability-rich routines for accelerating Arabic speaking proficiency in junior secondary settings. Limitations include intact-class allocation without randomization, a single-site context, a relatively short intervention window, and the absence of a delayed posttest to assess retention. Future research should employ multi-site cluster-randomized trials with preregistered analyses, include delayed and transfer posttests, compare teacher-led versus student-led questioning formats, measure mediators such as engagement and state anxiety, and examine fidelity, equity, and cost-effectiveness. Overall, the study provides classroom-ready evidence that Hot Seat is an efficient, scalable approach to improving oral proficiency in Arabic.
