Pronunciation is one of important aspects in learning a foreign language especially English. Good pronunciation can be easily processed by listeners, but inaccurated pronunciation can cause misunderstanding in communication. However, there are some difficulties found in EFL students in learning English pronunciation. Therefore, this research aims to develop Hijaiyah Flashcard as a medium in teaching English pronunciation which introduces several English consonants that have similar sound to the hijaiyah letters or Arabic consonants, while Indonesian students are familiar with the sound of hijaiyah letters. In developing the media, this research used Research and Development (R&D) as a research method. The subjects of the research were media expert, English teacher and second grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah Malang. The data were gained by doing the observation, interview and distributing questionnaires. Flashcards are developed and revised based on the assessment given. The validation scores obtained from media expert’s questionnaire is 82.5% and from English teacher is 100%. It means that the medium is feasible to use in teaching English pronunciation. In addition, the total score from students’ queastionnaire is 84,25 %. Thus, by introducing the similarity of sounds between English and Arabic consonants through Hijaiyah Flashcard, it can be a medium that teacher can use in teaching English pronunciation.

Abstract

Mastering English grammar is essential for effective communication, academic success, and professional growth. As one important language element, grammar helps learners in expressing ideas more clearly, avoiding misunderstanding, and engaging in meaningful interactions. Yet, many secondary school students in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) face challenges in mastering grammar due to traditional teaching methods and a lack of engaging learning sources. This study examines the effectiveness of integrating Islamic content and technology into English grammar teaching to enhance students’ learning experiences and outcomes. In particular, the research investigates the impact of the Quizizz platform as an interactive gamified learning tool for grammar instruction. A pre-experimental design with pre- and post-tests was employed to measure the student's progress in grammar proficiency after exposure to Islamic content-based instruction and interactive digital platforms such as Quizizz. In its statistical analysis, the test results revealed a significant improvement in grammar proficiency, with an Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, confirming the hypothesis that using Quizizz positively impacts student learning outcomes. The findings demonstrate that integrating technology into grammar instruction can enhance engagement, understanding, and application of grammar concepts. This study underscores the potential integrating religious content with technology-driven instruction to facilitate effective grammar learning in Islamic boarding school settings. Future studies with broader sample sizes, long-term treatment, and control group comparison is needed to strengthen the generalizability of the research results.
