Abstract

This research aims to develop gamified learning as a solution to overcome demotivation and enhance higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) among students in learning Ilmu Shorof, one of the branches of linguistics that is often considered difficult and boring. Gamification introduces game elements that can boost students' motivation, engagement, and critical thinking skills. This study employs a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ASSURE model, which includes six steps: learner analysis, objective formulation, method and media selection, media utilization, learner participation, and evaluation and revision. The developed product was validated by subject matter, media, and language experts. The trial subjects consisted of 50 Arabic Language Education (PBA) students from Hasyim Asy'ari University, with a questionnaire used to measure students' perceptions of the product, particularly in terms of increasing motivation and HOTS. The study resulted in a web-based software called "????? ??????" (Easy Learning of Ilmu Shorof). The product evaluation was based on three main aspects: content, media, and language, with an average score of 93.2, meeting the criteria of "excellent." The questionnaire validity test showed that all items had an r-value greater than the r-table (0.284), indicating they were valid. The reliability test revealed Cronbach’s Alpha values above 0.8, indicating "high reliability." The final results confirm that this application significantly improves motivation, HOTS, and ease of use, in line with the development objectives.

Abstract

Mastering fluency and pronunciation in Arabic poses a significant challenge for students, primarily due to a lack of practice and immediate feedback. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology, such as TalkPal AI, offers an interactive solution for practicing conversation; however, its effectiveness needs to be empirically investigated. This study aims to analyze the improvement in students' fluency and pronunciation through an intervention using TalkPal AI. The research employed a mixed methods approach with a convergent parallel design. Quantitative data were obtained from oral tests (pre-test and post-test) and analyzed using N-Gain and Paired Sample T-Tests, while qualitative data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and analyzed thematically. The results indicated a significant improvement in both fluency and pronunciation, as demonstrated by a moderate N-Gain score and the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) in the t-test. The qualitative findings revealed that this improvement was driven by the instant feedback feature, a low-pressure learning environment, and enhanced student confidence. Therefore, TalkPal AI is proven to be an effective learning tool that can comprehensively improve students' speaking competence.
