Abstract

This study explores the lexical and cultural challenges faced by novice translators in Arabic–Indonesian translation, a field that remains relatively underexplored despite its significant pedagogical relevance. The primary aim of this research is to identify common types of translation difficulties and to analyze the strategies employed by novice translators to address them. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from 15 fifth-semester students of the Arabic Language Education Program at the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) of Kerinci, who were enrolled in a translation course. Data were gathered through translation tasks, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring patterns of difficulties and strategies consistently observed during the translation process. The analysis revealed that major translation difficulties stemmed from the morphological complexity of Arabic, syntactic differences, semantic ambiguity, and cultural-linguistic gaps between Arabic and Indonesian. Three key patterns of difficulty were identified: misinterpretation of polysemous words, literal translation of idiomatic expressions, and loss of cultural meaning in context-bound terms. While most participants relied on literal translation and simplification strategies, they generally lacked adequate strategic awareness. Based on these findings, the study proposes a learner-centered contextual strategy model integrating explicit grammar instruction, contrastive Arabic–Indonesian analysis, and meaning-based scaffolding. This model is designed to support novice translators in producing more accurate, context-sensitive, and culturally appropriate translations. The study contributes to the pedagogical development of Arabic–Indonesian translation studies by highlighting learner needs and offering practical solutions relevant to the early stages of language acquisition.

Abstract

Arranged marriages remain significant in Muslim Kerinci society, where cultural traditions and Islamic values shape family life. This study explores the factors sustaining marital harmony and how women negotiate agency within family expectations and religious norms. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews involving community leaders, scholars, and couples in Air Hangat Barat District, the research highlights the interplay between structural norms and individual choices. Findings show that shared religious values, moderation in household management, tolerance of shortcomings, supportive parental roles, and affection rooted in Islamic teachings are key to harmonious families. While cultural and religious frameworks function as structural constraints, women exercise agency by negotiating their roles and influencing marital outcomes. The study’s novelty lies in integrating Islamic perspectives with sociological and gender theories to explain how tradition, faith, and agency interact to sustain arranged marriages in contemporary Muslim contexts.

Abstract

Abtract Grammar plays a very important role in Arabic. It will help learners understand Arabic well and make others understand what we say. One of the Arab rules is Al-Ibdal. Many learners find it difficult to recognize the changing words because they do not know the origin of the changing letters. It is not only found in the Quran but also in Balaghah, Sharaf and other Arabic sciences. This research discusses Al-Ibdal, its language and terminology definitions, its letters, its benefits, its rules, and its divisions. This research is a Library Research, and data sources were derived from different books and journals. Then an understanding and analysis of these sources were carried out. The result is that Al-Ibdal is to create a character in place of a character while retaining the rest of the word characters. It has nine characters. One of the benefits of Al-Ibdal is that it avoids the wrong literature in understanding literary texts. It has many rules in general divided into ibdal sharfi or ibdal mutharrad and ibdal lughawi or ibdal ghairu mutharrad. Keywords : Ibdal, Arabic, Sharaf, Isytiqaq

Abstract

Abstract This paper explores the steps for learning Arabic reading skills based on e-Learning using SIKULI and the advantages and disadvantages of e-Learning. The approach is a descriptive qualitative approach with three data collection techniques, namely: (1) observation, (2) interviews, and (3) documentation. The results showed that there were three steps taken by lecturers in implementing e-Learning-based Arabic reading skills using SIKULI, namely: (1) pre-learning, (2) implementation of learning, and (3) evaluation of learning. Researchers also found several advantages of implementing e-Learning-based Arabic reading skills using SIKULI, namely: (1) assisting the internal quality assurance system (SPMI) through monitoring and evaluation, (2) practical and flexible, (3) providing supporting features and menus. However, besides having various advantages, as an e-Learning that has just been built and used, SIKULI is also not free from multiple shortcomings, namely: (1) frequently interrupted system, (2) no notifications, (3) poor internet network. Nevertheless, The results of this sytudy are hoped to provide insight and alternative solutions for lecturers in carrying out online learning of Arabic reading skills during the Covid-19 pandemic. Keywords: Learning, Arabic Reading Skills, e-Learning, SIKULI, Covid-19

Abstract

The lack of engaging instructional media in Arabic language education remains a persistent issue in the educational domain. This study aims to examine the extent to which the implementation of audio-visual media, as a response to digital-based learning, has contributed to the improvement of female students’ learning outcomes at Ma’had Al-Jami’ah IAIN Kerinci. Employing a qualitative method with a grounded theory approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation within the Arabic specialization program that incorporates audio-visual media in its instructional process. The findings reveal that instructional media remain largely dominated by traditional approaches, which have yet to fully accommodate the diverse learning styles of female students. These findings underscore the importance of integrating technology into the learning process in this digital era. The final results of this study indicate that the use of audio-visual-based instructional media in Arabic language education actively contributes to enhancing both student engagement and academic achievement. This is evidenced by a more enjoyable and dynamic learning environment. This research calls on Arabic language educators to optimize the use of digital-based learning media for female students, suggesting that with varied content delivery formats, audio-visual media presents a viable solution for interactive 21st-century learning.

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.

Abstract

This study investigates cognitive load and rule acquisition in sharaf (Arabic morphology) learning, with particular attention to the role of working memory among third-semester students of the Arabic Language Education Program at IAIN Kerinci. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 students and participatory observation in sharaf classes. Thematic analysis revealed four primary challenges: (1) the linguistic complexity and irregularity of morphological patterns that burden memory, (2) limited working memory capacity that constrains the recall and application of rules, (3) pedagogical gaps caused by lecture-dominated methods with minimal student engagement, and (4) differences in students’ educational backgrounds that affect comprehension. The study further identified effective strategies for reducing cognitive load, including material simplification with visual aids, structured and contextual repetition, task-based learning, and metacognitive training. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive teaching approaches aligned with students’ cognitive capacities to enhance Arabic language instruction.

Abstract

Background : Reading Arabic texts (Qira’ah) is a fundamental skill in Arabic language learning, particularly within Islamic higher education. However, diverse levels of student proficiency often result in learning gaps that hinder instructional effectiveness. To address this, class classification strategies based on initial Arabic ability have been introduced as a pedagogical innovation to enhance differentiated instruction and equitable learning outcomes. Objective: This study aims to critically evaluate the effectiveness of class classification strategies in improving students’ Qira’ah proficiency and to identify pedagogical factors that support or hinder the successful implementation of this approach. Method : This study employed a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing interviews and classroom observations as the primary tools for data collection. The participants consisted of eight Arabic language instructors and twenty students representing various proficiency levels. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in learning experiences and instructional effectiveness across different class categories. Results and Discussion :The findings indicate that diagnostic assessments effectively support student placement, allowing instructional materials to align with learners’ linguistic readiness. Beginner students showed marked improvement in vocabulary mastery and comprehension, while advanced students benefited from authentic text engagement and analytical exercises. Nevertheless, limited class mobility and uneven progression across levels constrained the system’s overall effectiveness. Conclusion and Implications : Adaptive and context-based class classification strategies are essential to enhancing Qira’ah competence. The study recommends continuous formative assessment, mentoring systems involving peer tutors, and targeted teacher training to ensure sustainable improvement. These findings contribute to the development of more inclusive and responsive Arabic pedagogy in Islamic higher education.

Abstract

This study examines the problems surrounding the implementation of Religious Court decisions related to the execution of child support obligations following divorce, focusing on three court rulings: Decision No. 180/Pdt.G/2025/PA.Spn, Decision No. 405/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Spn, and Decision No. 408/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Spn. The primary objective of this research is to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of these decisions in practice and to identify factors that hinder the fulfillment of children’s rights after divorce. The research employs a qualitative method with an empirical juridical approach, conducted through document analysis of decisions issued by the Sungai Penuh Religious Court, observation of the substance of the rulings, and examination of legal, economic, and social aspects influencing their implementation. The findings indicate that the execution of child support decisions continues to face significant challenges. From a legal perspective, weak enforcement mechanisms and low compliance by fathers with court decisions constitute major obstacles. Economically, disparities in fathers’ financial capacity contribute to delays or inability to fulfill child support obligations. Socially, low parental awareness following divorce often results in the neglect of children’s rights. Nevertheless, the Religious Court has undertaken efforts to enhance the effectiveness of decision implementation through mediation, the issuance of more realistic and enforceable rulings, and monitoring of compliance. This study recommends strengthening legal enforcement mechanisms, increasing public legal awareness, and developing policies that prioritize the best interests of the child in order to achieve optimal justice and child welfare after divorce.
