Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of grammar-translation methods in teaching Arabic through a literature study approach. This method is a classic approach that has been widely used in learning foreign languages, including Arabic, especially in traditional Islamic educational environments such as Islamic boarding schools and madrasas. The main focus of this method is on mastery of grammatical structures and the ability to translate texts, rather than on active communication skills. In the modern era that demands communicative and contextual language skills, questions arise about the relevance and effectiveness of this method in meeting the needs of contemporary learning. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature research design. Data was obtained from the analysis of various literature such as books, scientific journals, dissertations, curricula, and relevant previous research results. The data analysis technique is carried out in a descriptive-analytical manner, with steps of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that grammar and translation methods have advantages in terms of understanding language structure and access to classical texts, but are limited in the development of speaking and listening skills. Therefore, the effectiveness of this method is highly dependent on the context and objectives of the learning. In certain situations, this method can still be used strategically if combined with other, more communicative approaches. This study recommends a balanced methodological integration between structural and functional approaches so that Arabic language learning is more adaptive to the needs of the times.

Abstract

Arabic language learning requires mastery of fundamental components, particularly speech sounds and vocabulary, which must be assessed through appropriate evaluation methods. However, language tests at the elementary school level are still commonly conducted using conventional approaches that tend to limit students’ active participation. This study aims to describe the use of Quizizz in speech sound and vocabulary tests in Arabic language learning and to analyze its contribution to improving students’ participation at MIN 3 Nagan Raya. This research employed a qualitative approach using documentation studies, classroom observations, and interviews with Arabic language teachers and fifth- and sixth-grade students. The findings indicate that the implementation of Quizizz in speech sound and vocabulary tests creates a more interactive, engaging, and enjoyable evaluation atmosphere. Students demonstrated higher levels of participation, reflected in active involvement, sustained focus during the test, and increased motivation and self-confidence. In speech sound tests, Quizizz supported students in recognizing and distinguishing Arabic sounds through clear audio stimuli, while in vocabulary tests, it facilitated students’ understanding of word meanings and usage in context. Therefore, Quizizz functions not only as an assessment tool but also as a pedagogical strategy that enhances students’ active participation in Arabic language learning.

Abstract

Vocabulary (mufrodat) mastery is an essential component in Arabic language learning at the madrasah ibtidaiyah level. However, classroom observations indicate that students’ vocabulary mastery remains low due to the limited availability of attractive and student-centered teaching materials. This study aims to develop booklet-based teaching materials that are valid, practical, and effective in improving the vocabulary mastery of fifth-grade students at MIN 3 Nagan Raya. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research subjects were fifth-grade students of MIN 3 Nagan Raya. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and pretest–posttest assessments. The results of expert validation showed that the material validity reached 91.25% and media validity reached 93.75%, both categorized as very valid. The field trial results indicated positive responses from teachers and students, with an average score of 83.5% categorized as very good. Furthermore, the students’ average vocabulary mastery score increased from 62.4 in the pretest to 82.6 in the posttest. These findings indicate that the developed booklet-based teaching materials are valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ Arabic vocabulary mastery.
