Abstract

The integration of Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technology into Arabic literacy instruction has drawn growing interest, particularly in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), where traditional methods still prevail. Existing research largely addresses general or ESL contexts, leaving a gap in understanding IWB use in Islamic educational settings. This study explores the effectiveness of IWBs in enhancing Arabic reading proficiency, with a focus on student engagement, comprehension, and pedagogical outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 60 third-grade Tsanawiyah students at Pesantren Darullughah Wadda’wah. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study included pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and interviews. Results show a significant improvement in reading skills, with post-test scores increasing by 24.4 percentage points (from 54.2 to 78.6; p < 0.01, d = 1.15). IWBs also promoted interactive learning and peer collaboration. Qualitative data supported these findings, highlighting enhanced student participation and classroom engagement. Despite positive outcomes, challenges such as insufficient teacher training and limited infrastructure were noted. The study contributes to the discourse on digital transformation in Arabic education and suggests that IWBs can effectively bridge traditional and modern pedagogical approaches in pesantren, offering a scalable model for improving literacy and learner interaction in Islamic educational contexts.

Abstract

Despite the widespread use of repetition in Arabic speaking instruction, empirical research examining its affective scaffolding dimension particularly teacher vocal modulation as an emotional and psychomotor support remains limited.This study investigates the role of affective scaffolding in enhancing Arabic speaking fluency through the “Repeat After Me” technique in a pesantren-based classroom. Using a quasi-experimental mixed-method design, sixty male students were divided into experimental and control groups over eight weeks of instruction. The experimental group received teacher-guided vocal scaffolding involving tone modulation, rhythmic pacing, and empathetic feedback, while the control group practiced standard repetition. Quantitative results revealed significant improvements in fluency (Cohen’s d = 0.89) and a notable reduction in language anxiety among the experimental group. Qualitative findings from interviews indicated that collective repetition fostered emotional safety, enjoyment, and imitation of native-like pronunciation, despite physical fatigue. The integration of affective and psychomotor elements transformed repetition into an engaging, embodied learning process that strengthened confidence and rhythmical accuracy. This study concludes that teacher vocal modulation functions as both an emotional regulator and a psychomotor model, offering a holistic framework for Arabic language pedagogy that unites sound, emotion, and bodily expression.
