Abstract

Phonology has a crucial role in the early stages of learning both native and foreign languages. This research aimed to analyze the phonological differences between Arabic and Indonesian, focusing on aspects such as sound systems, pronunciation, stress, and intonation. This study was classified as a literature review. The method employed was a descriptive contrastive analysis, comparing contrasting differences in Arabic and Indonesian through a pedagogical linguistic approach. The results showed that the vowel sounds in Arabic consist of fathah, fathah thowilah, kasrah, kasrah thowilah, dhommah, dhommah and thowilah which significantly impact the meaning of the language. On the other hand, Indonesian vowel sounds /i/, /u/, /e/, /ә/, /o/, and /a/ did not influence meaning and tended to remain consistent in their speech functions. Regarding stress and intonation, Indonesian utilized these elements to differentiate meaning when spoken with flat, high, and low tones in delivering news or interrogative sentences. In contrast, Arabic stress and intonation patterns were based on the position of consonants, syllables, and the length of vowels.

Abstract

The role of technology is massive across various fields, including the learning of Arabic. This study aimed to explore the role of technology as a catalyst in transforming Arabic language learning patterns. The research fell under the category of library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. The focus of the study was on analyzing research journals that discuss the use of technology in Arabic language learning. The results showed that the role of technology in contemporary Arabic language learning (21st century) through various media such as artificial intelligence, applications, different digital platforms, and social media had a positive impact on the ease of access to communication, facilitating learning, delivering material, and providing evaluations in the context of digital learning. Technology played a crucial role in the success of learning and overcoming the barriers of distance, space, and time. Technology had given rise to many media such as animated videos, podcasts, cognitive game applications, and learning based on virtual reality and augmented reality, contributing to enriching students' understanding of Arabic language skills. The use of technology as a learning medium had become a daily necessity in the present day.
