Abstract

Sociocultural theory, initially proposed by Vygotsky, provides a framework for understanding human cognitive development and mental functions. At its core, sociocultural theory posits that learning and cognitive development—including language acquisition—occur through social interactions. This study aims to explore how second language acquisition can be explained through the sociocultural perspective, specifically examining how second language learners acquire language through collaboration and interaction with other speakers. The research employs a qualitative literature review method, drawing data from various sources such as books and scholarly articles relevant to the study’s objectives. The findings indicate that Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory is applicable to learning Arabic as a second language. Key concepts from Vygotsky’s theory, such as the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), scaffolding through adult mediation, micro genesis, inner speech, private speech, and activity theory, offer valuable perspectives for developing Arabic language skills. These insights underscore the importance of social interaction in fostering language learning and suggest practical implications for teaching practices.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the potential for using TikTok as a digital media in Arabic language learning, focusing on identifying the utilization of TikTok in Arabic language learning. This research was conducted in response to the increasing use of technology using digital media in education, especially using TikTok as media in Arabic language learning. The research method used is a literature study with a desk research approach, namely exploring data from empirical and relevant research. The research results show that TikTok is one of the social media platforms that can potentially be utilized for learning. TikTok, which is audio-visual based, is seen as attractive by students. In addition, many features can be used to increase students' creativity. As a learning media, TikTok also can make it easier for educators to deliver learning materials effectively. The characteristics of TikTok are also easy to use and are close to students' personalities because they are used in their daily lives. The utilization of TikTok in Arabic language learning can be applied to improve the four Arabic language skills by utilizing the available features. For example, in learning listening (istima') skills using the For Your Page (FYP) feature or the Hashtag feature to search for Arabic content, in speaking skills (kalam) through the voice recording feature, reading skills (qira'ah) through the duet feature, writing skills (kitabah) using the edit and write features.
