Abstract

The objective of the present investigation was to examine the pronunciation errors made by students while reading Arabic text. The study aimed to identify the common pronunciation errors and investigate the underlying causes of these mistakes. The research methodology involved administering reading tests and audio recordings to 20 seventh-grade students (10 male and 10 female) from SMPIT Ihsanul Fikri Mungkid. The collected data was then subjected to qualitative analysis. The study's findings revealed that the students made a variety of pronunciation errors while reading Arabic text, including mispronunciations of vocals, consonants, double consonants, and diphthongs. The analysis also identified a few typical causes of these pronunciation errors. The implications of these findings underscore the importance of addressing pronunciation issues in the context of learning Arabic. The research findings can guide teachers in developing targeted interventions to improve students' Arabic pronunciation, thereby enhancing their overall proficiency through frequent practice and specialized interventions.

Abstract

This study examined cross-dialectal Arabic learning and intercultural adaptation among Indonesian students at the Sudanese African Asian School (SAAS), where Formal Arabic (Fusha) and Colloquial Arabic (Amiyyah) were used concurrently in academic and daily communication. The study employed a qualitative case study design anchored in Robert De Keyser's Skill Acquisition Theory and investigated how learners develop linguistic proficiency and navigate sociocultural adjustment within a Sudanese-Arabic environment. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Participants comprised the school principal, five Arabic teachers, parents or guardians, and fourth-grade students who were recruited through snowball sampling. The findings revealed that sustained exposure to both varieties supported learners’ grammatical, lexical, and pragmatic competence while facilitating cultural adaptation. Through continuous interaction in authentic contexts, learners developed an understanding of linguistic structures alongside cultural values and communicative norms. This development was supported by cultural immersion, scaffolded instruction, and active learner engagement. However, challenges persisted, including limited Arabic exposure outside school, anxiety in spontaneous communication, and difficulties with unvocalized Arabic texts. The findings suggest that cross-dialectal learning functions as a linguistic and cultural bridge, fostering communicative flexibility and intercultural competence in multilingual Arabic learning contexts.
