Abstract

This study discusses the philosophical foundations in the development of the Arabic language curriculum as a conceptual basis that determines the direction, content, and teaching methods. The Arabic curriculum is not only designed to teach linguistic skills but also to cultivate a deep understanding of human, intellectual, and spiritual values within the framework of educational philosophy. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the philosophical aspects underlying the development of the Arabic curriculum, particularly from the perspectives of ontology, epistemology, and axiology. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method, examining various primary and secondary sources such as books, journals, and relevant curriculum documents. Data collection was carried out through documentation and analyzed using descriptive-analytical techniques. The results show that the Arabic language curriculum should be built upon a comprehensive philosophical understanding: ontologically affirming the existence of language as a medium of revelation and culture; epistemologically supporting the construction of knowledge through both scientific and religious approaches; and axiologically emphasizing the importance of moral, ethical, and meaningful values in the learning process. These findings underscore the urgency of integrating philosophical dimensions in the development of the Arabic language curriculum to make it more holistic, relevant, and transformative.

Abstract

This study discusses the sociological foundations in the development of the Arabic language curriculum as a response to social dynamics, community needs, and global challenges that influence the educational process. The Arabic language curriculum cannot be separated from the socio-cultural context in which learning takes place, as language is an integral part of community life. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the sociological dimensions that play a role in shaping an Arabic curriculum that is relevant and adaptive to the changing times. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method, examining various references on educational sociology theories, language policies, and curriculum practices within Islamic educational environments. Data collection was conducted through documentation of primary and secondary sources and analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach. The results show that the development of a sociologically-based Arabic curriculum must consider factors such as students’ social backgrounds, intercultural communication needs, and the role of Arabic in fostering global Islamic solidarity. Such a curriculum can serve as a bridge between local values and global demands, promoting learning that is contextual, participatory, and inclusive in accordance with the learners’ social realities.

Abstract

The study aimed to explore the use of the Wordwall application in enhancing the engagement of third-grade students in Arabic language learning at STAT InsanMulia. The research was conducted in two cycles, with the first cycle evaluating the pre-Wordwall conditions and the second cycle after implementing Wordwall in the learning process. The qualitative research method used a case study approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews with teachers, and school documentation analysis. The results of the first cycle showed that student engagement in Arabic language learning was limited by minimal student interaction, low-quality questions, and limited innovative learning media. The second cycle revealed significant improvements in student participation, the quality of their written assignments, and deeper discussions in class. Integrating Wordwall as the main learning medium achieved a high level of satisfaction from both teachers and students, with around 95% of learning activities using Wordwall for interactive quizzes and other exercises. This study provides evidence that the use of educational technology, particularly the Wordwall application, can contribute positively to enhancing interactivity and the quality of learning in educational settings. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of developing curricula that support the use of technology in learning and the need for continuous training for teachers to optimize the potential of technology in enhancing the effectiveness of the learning process.

Abstract

This study explores the communicative approach in Arabic language learning from both theoretical and practical perspectives as a response to the need for functional and contextual language proficiency. In the context of modern education, Arabic language learning can no longer rely solely on grammatical mastery; instead, it must be directed toward the ability to communicate effectively in various real-life situations. The purpose of this study is to examine the communicative approach in Arabic language teaching from both theoretical and practical aspects. A qualitative approach was employed, using library research and limited field observation in Arabic teaching practices. Data were collected through documentation, field notes, and analysis of learning materials, and then analyzed descriptively and critically. The findings show that the communicative approach theoretically emphasizes the use of Arabic in real-life contexts, based on language acquisition theory and communicative competence. Practically, it requires interactive methods, teacher training, contextual materials, and digital technologies to enhance students’ language skills, motivation, and understanding of religious and social values in an integrated manner. These findings affirm that the communicative approach should be systematically integrated into the Arabic language curriculum and instructional strategies to make learning more relevant, effective, and meaningful.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the similarities, differences, strengths, and weaknesses between traditional and modern approaches in teaching Arabic. Employing a qualitative approach through a comparative study method, the research examines both approaches to identify their respective advantages and limitations in Arabic language instruction. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing, resulting in a comprehensive portrayal grounded in empirical findings and theoretical literature. The results indicate that Arabic language teaching has evolved from traditional methods centered on memorization and grammar toward modern approaches emphasizing communication, collaboration, and technology integration. Both approaches share the goal of equipping students with oral and written skills, with the teacher’s role and assessment remaining essential. The traditional approach excels in grammatical depth, while the modern approach excels in interactivity. The shortcomings of each approach necessitate that teachers select strategies aligned with students’ needs and learning objectives. The findings recommend combining the best elements of both approaches to develop an Arabic language teaching model that is balanced, relevant to contemporary needs, and firmly rooted in scholarly traditions and Arab-Islamic cultural values.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the pedagogical competence of Arabic language teachers in accordance with the National Education Standards. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to provide an in-depth depiction of teachers’ pedagogical competence based on these standards, covering the stages of lesson planning, implementation, and evaluation. Primary data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation, while secondary data were collected from official documents and relevant literature. Data collection techniques included observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis with triangulation to ensure accuracy. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model through reduction, presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing to produce valid and contextual findings. The results indicate that the pedagogical competence of Arabic language teachers encompasses understanding students, planning, implementing, evaluating, and developing learners’ potential by integrating language skills and Islamic values. Teachers are required to master learning theories, develop curricula, utilize technology, and conduct valid assessments. Moreover, teachers are expected to foster students’ creativity and 21st-century skills, thereby making learning more effective, meaningful, and aligned with the National Education Standards. This study recommends enhancing the pedagogical competence of Arabic language teachers through continuous professional development, integration of educational technology, and strengthening of Islamic value-based curricula to support students’ 21st-century skills.
