Abstract

Proficiency in the Arabic language is imperative in the context of Islamic education. However, the effective study of Arabic remains a challenge, hindering students' abilities to engage with Islamic texts and communicate in Arabic-speaking environments. Focusing on Pesantren Raudhatul Ulum-Pati, this study investigates the strategies and challenges associated with enhancing Arabic speaking skills in traditional Islamic boarding schools (Pesantren). Specific teaching techniques employed by instructors at this pesantren, aimed at improving students' Arabic speaking abilities, as well as the challenges impeding fluency, were examined through a qualitative research design, including classroom observations and interviews with teachers, administrators, and students. The outcomes highlight the importance of innovative methods and shed light on issues such as a lack of exposure to Arabic-speaking environments. The program implemented in this pesantren serves as an exemplary model for other traditional Islamic boarding schools seeking to elevate their students' proficiency in the Arabic language. The findings of this study hold significant implications for all traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia.

Abstract

The integration of digital technology has increasingly transformed language learning practices in higher education. However, empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of interactive learning platforms in Arabic language instruction remains limited. This study aimed to examine the impact of an interactive digital learning platform on university students’ Arabic language proficiency. The research employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pre-test–post-test approach. A total of 40 undergraduate students enrolled in an Arabic language course at UIN Saifuddin Zuhri, Purwokerto participated in the study. Students’ language proficiency was measured through standardized tests assessing four language skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-test, and effect size (Cohen’s d). The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ Arabic language proficiency after the implementation of the interactive learning platform. The average scores increased across all four language skills, with the most substantial improvement observed in speaking ability. Statistical analysis indicated that the difference between pre-test and post-test scores was statistically significant (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the calculated effect sizes ranged from 1.18 to 1.56, indicating a strong practical impact of the learning intervention. These findings suggest that interactive digital platforms can effectively enhance students’ engagement and language learning outcomes. The study highlights the pedagogical potential of integrating Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) approaches into Arabic language instruction. The results provide important insights for educators and institutions seeking to improve the effectiveness of Arabic language learning in higher education.
