Abstract

Arabic language learning at Madrasah Aliyah continues to face serious challenges, characterized by students’ limited vocabulary mastery, low speaking fluency, and difficulties in comprehending texts. These challenges are influenced not only by individual learner factors but also by diverse learning environment conditions. This study aims to comprehensively explore the interaction between internal factors, including motivation, basic linguistic competence, learning strategies, psychological conditions, and cognitive abilities, and external factors such as teacher competence, teaching methods, availability of learning media, family support, facilities, and curriculum policies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with students and teachers, and analysis of instructional documents. The findings indicate that internal factors often serve as the initial trigger of learning difficulties, yet the quality of the learning environment determines whether these difficulties improve or develop into chronic obstacles. Monotonous teaching methods, less contextual learning materials, and limited opportunities for practice were found to reinforce the negative impact of internal factors. Conversely, appropriate external interventions, such as varied teaching methods, audio-visual media, and strong support from both family and school, can significantly enhance students’ motivation and skills. These findings affirm that difficulties in learning Arabic are multidimensional and interrelated, requiring effective interventions that integrate the strengthening of students’ internal strategies with systemic improvements in external aspects. This study provides a conceptual foundation for developing more adaptive instructional models and policies to improve the quality of Arabic language education at Madrasah Aliyah.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the vital role of logic in philosophical studies, particularly in understanding the nature of knowledge, the structure of truth, and its function within the contexts of life and education. The method used is a qualitative method employing a library research approach and descriptive-philosophical analysis to examine literature related to epistemology and logic. The results indicate that knowledge is the product of rational human activity, categorized into empirical, rational, intuitive, and scientific types. Structurally, logic serves as a primary tool to maintain the consistency and validity of reasoning that connects the knowing subject with the known object. Furthermore, theories of truth such as correspondence, coherence, and pragmatic theories serve as essential foundations for rationally assessing truth. The implications of this study emphasize that knowledge possesses a strategic function in underpinning decision-making and shaping critical, logical, and systematic mindsets in education.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms of innovative practices implemented by Arabic language teachers in the learning process at Islamic Senior High Schools (MA); to examine the factors that encourage teachers to develop creative learning; to analyze the strategies used by teachers to integrate methods, media, and technology in creating creative learning; to explore the challenges faced by Arabic teachers in applying innovative practices; and to understand how they overcome these challenges in MA. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach to provide an in-depth depiction of the innovative practices of Arabic language teachers in MA. Primary data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation, while secondary data were collected from lesson plans (RPP), modules, and school policies. Data collection techniques included observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The interactive Miles and Huberman analysis model was used, through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation to ensure valid and comprehensive findings. The results indicate that innovation among Arabic language teachers in MA emerges from their ability to combine interactive methods, creative media, and digital technology to create communicative and contextual learning. These innovations are driven by professional motivation, students’ learning needs, 21st-century curriculum demands, and technological developments. Challenges such as low digital literacy, limited facilities, low student motivation, and administrative workload are addressed through professional training, collaboration, the use of alternative media, and the creation of supportive learning environments. Teachers play a key role as agents of instructional change.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the layers of meaning in the poem “Kepada Noor” by Moch. Syarip Hidayat through a semantic perspective. Specifically, this research seeks to address how lexica/denotativel, connotative, and metaphorical meanings are constructed within the linguistic structure of the poem to understand the poet's linguistic strategies in expressing his inner experiences. The method employed in this research is descriptive qualitative. The approach utilized is semantic analysis, which scrutinizes linguistic units ranging from words and phrases to sentences. The analysis is conducted by identifying lexical and grammatical meanings as a foundation, which is then expanded to the analysis of connotative meanings, conceptual metaphors, and semantic coherence between stanzas to uncover deeper figurative meanings. The results conclude that the poem “Kepada Noor”: constructs meaning through the utilization of simple diction laden with natural symbolism, such as the metaphors of birds and nests, as well as the personification of the concept of longing. The research finds that the meaning within this poem is a conceptualization of emotional and spiritual experiences, where the repetition of sounds and words serves to reinforce the intensity of longing. Thus, the semantic approach proves effective in revealing the psychological and aesthetic dimensions of meaning hidden behind the structural text of this poem.

Abstract

This study aims to provide an in-depth description and mapping of the various strategies used by teachers in Madrasah Aliyah (MA) to develop students’ kalām (speaking) skills, as well as to analyze the pedagogical considerations underlying the selection of these strategies. The research focuses not only on the types of strategies applied but also on the rationale, classroom needs, and instructional contexts that shape teachers’ practices in teaching speaking skills. A descriptive qualitative approach was chosen because it allows the researcher to capture the natural dynamics of classroom interaction and to understand the patterns, meanings, and considerations that emerge from teachers’ and students’ experiences. Data were collected through participatory classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation studies involving lesson plans, teacher reflection notes, and students’ task results. All data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which includes iterative processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that teachers apply an eclectic set of strategies grouped into three main categories: (1) Lexical and psychological preparation, involving scaffolding, key vocabulary, and model dialogues; (2) Guided practice, including pair work, simple role-plays, and structured question–answer activities; and (3) Affective–corrective strategies, such as recasting, positive feedback, and delayed correction. The selection of these strategies is based on three primary considerations: addressing students’ psychological barriers (qalaq al-lughah), overcoming limited vocabulary that inhibits speaking fluency, and adapting to large class sizes and the lack of a supportive bī’ah lughawiyah (language environment), which requires teachers to adjust their strategies to the realities of the classroom.
