Abstract

Behavioral Counseling for students is currently being implemented as an alternative solution to the problem of difficulties in learning Arabic. Students learning difficulties are caused by high anxiety due to poor learning management. The process of overcoming Arabic learning difficulties through participatory Behavioral Counseling is described implicitly in this study. The goal of this study is to examine (1) the process of overcoming difficulties in learning Arabic using Behavioral Counseling, (2) the level of academic anxiety and learning attitudes of students before and after the implementation of Behavioral Counseling, and (3) whether Behavioral Counseling implementation can improve students' Arabic language skills. This study was designed employing a Mixed Method Research approach. The questionnaire respondents were 250 students from IAIN Metro and UIN RIL (Raden Intan Lampung) Indonesia. According to the questionnaire distribution results, 46 students of UIN RIL and 45 students of IAIN Metro Indonesia required counseling. Data were gathered through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and tests. The research findings are that behavioral counseling was given to two groups of students who had difficulty learning Arabic. The first step in providing Behavioral Counseling to both groups of students with learning disabilities was conducting an assessment. The primary objective of this assessment was to discover what behaviors respondents engaged in when learning Arabic. The observed behavior was a unique behavior related to the respondent's problems. The assessment results revealed some poor learning behaviors, such as being too lazy to study, lacking enthusiasm, and being confused, anxious, and depressed about learning tasks that were not understood. Thus, students needed to be more motivated to learn Arabic because they perceived it to be difficult. The second research finding shows that in both groups of respondents, the level of academic anxiety is in the low range. Following Behavioral Counseling, there was a significant change in learning attitudes and academic anxiety—respondents whose learning attitude was poor due to various factors improved after receiving Behavioral Counseling. Similarly, academic anxiety, which was initially high, decreased after behavioral counseling. The study's findings reveal that respondents' Arabic ability improves after receiving Behavioral Counseling. Respondents at UIN RIL have an average value of 64.57, while respondents at IAIN Metro have an average value of 62.71.

Abstract

The prevalence of depression among language learners, specifically Arabic learners, should receive proper attention from academics. Unfortunately, it would be easily overlooked by scholars because they were tend more focusing on the development of effective teaching strategy. The objective of current study was to investigate the effect of demographic variables and language proficiency on symptoms of depression in individuals learning Arabic as a second language. This cross-sectional study involved 1126 participants who voluntarily provided their consent. Of the participants, 762 were female and 364 were male (age M = 20.03 and SD = 1.56). The study collected demographic information, assess language acquisition levels, and measure symptoms of depression. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results showed that model proposed in this study with its predictors explained 7.5% of the variance in depression symptoms while factors such as sex, number of siblings, living arrangement, listening skills, and reading skills were found being significant predictors in the model. This study highlights the prevalence of depression among individuals learning Arabic as a second language and the importance of demographic variables and language proficiency in predicting depression symptoms. The findings suggest that interventions to address depression in this population should take into account factors such as sex, number of siblings, living arrangement, and language skills.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of Arabic listening and articulation skills and their relationship with Arabic language skills among non-native speakers in children's boarding schools in Lampung Province. The research approach was correlational. The research participants were children of boarding students at Hidayatul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School, Darussalam Islamic Boarding School, and Al-Imam Islamic Boarding School, Lampung Province. The selected respondents were children aged 7-9 years. The data collection instrument was a test. The research findings show the significant value of listening and articulation skills based on gender, age, Qur'an learning experience, the number of memorized Qur'an owned, parental income, and geographical area of residence is 0.000 <0.05. This value demonstrates the significant influence of these variables on children's listening and articulation skills. The analysis results show that the correlation coefficient of the listening ability and articulation ability variables is 0.370 and 0.621, which means that the strength of the relationship between each variable and Arabic language skills has sufficient and robust criteria. Both values are positive, showing that the effect is unidirectional. The significance values of 0.873 and 0.015> 0.05 show positive signs, meaning a significant relationship exists between listening ability and articulation with Arabic language skills. This means the rise will follow increased listening and articulation ability variables in children's Arabic language skills. The calculation result of the coefficient of determination or R square value is 0.725. This implies that listening ability and articulation affect the Arabic language proficiency variable by 72.5%. Other variables might influence the remaining percentage.
