Abstract

The success of Arabic language education in Islamic higher education largely depends on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by learners. This study critically explores the perceptions of fourth-semester students in the Arabic Language Education program at the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) of Kerinci regarding the difficulties of learning Arabic as a foreign language, using a constructivist approach. Employing a phenomenological method, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focused group discussions. The findings reveal that students face not only linguistic challenges such as the complexity of Arabic grammar (nahwu) and phonology but also significant affective barriers: learning trauma from past experiences, language anxiety, and a sense of meaninglessness resulting from rote-oriented instruction. A misalignment between instructional approaches and learners’ experiential needs exacerbates these issues. Surprisingly, some students demonstrated resilience and learning creativity through informal study communities and self-directed digital learning. The constructivist perspective highlights how students reconstruct meaning within institutional limitations. This study underscores the urgent need for curriculum reform, teacher training grounded in psychopedagogical awareness, and the empowerment of learner agency. Future research should explore the role of technology and locally contextualized instructional design in promoting more transformative and engaging Arabic language learning experiences.

Abstract

This study explores the motivations of high school alumni in choosing the Arabic Language Education program at IAIN Kerinci, as well as the factors influencing their decision to select this major. A qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach was employed. The findings reveal that students from non-boarding school backgrounds select the Arabic Language major for three main reasons: (a) religious motives, where they study Arabic to understand and teach Islamic teachings (fahm al-maqru); (b) academic motives, where they aim to comprehend Arabic sciences and skills (istima’, kalam, qira’ah, and kitabah); and (c) professional, practical, and pragmatic motives, such as becoming a teacher and communicating orally (muhadatsah) in Arabic. This research presents a novelty by refuting Herdah (2020) findings, showing that not all Arabic learners study the language for ideological and economic reasons. These insights offer a new perspective on the diverse motivations behind studying Arabic, providing a comprehensive understanding of their motivations.

Abstract

This study examines Kalam learning through the Muhadatsah method at Ma'had Al-Jamiah, identifying supporting and inhibiting factors. A phenomenological approach with an interpretive paradigm and descriptive qualitative methods was used. Findings include: 1) The method aims to accustom students to Arabic communication. 2) Muhadatsah is significant due to its relaxed, practical nature, conversation habituation, repetitive practice, engaging elements, memorization facilitation, and fluency development. 3) Progress is assessed by students' fluency and ease in pronunciation. 4) Implementation involves vocabulary assignments, partner selection, topic determination, and location choice for Muhadatsah. 5) Evaluation is through direct supervision by the instructor. 6) The teaching approach is relaxed and flexible. 7) No media are used as learning resources. 8) Challenges include limited time, an unsupportive language environment, students' lack of basic Arabic knowledge, and shyness. 9) Success is seen in improved Kalam skills, accurate pronunciation, and increased vocabulary.

Abstract

This study investigates the instructional strategies employed by Arabic language educators in teaching reading skills (mahārah al-qirā’ah) to students at Ma'had IAIN Kerinci, who possess diverse educational backgrounds. Specifically, it explores how teachers adapt their pedagogy to students' prior Arabic grammar knowledge, particularly among those with pesantren (Islamic boarding school) experience. Grounded in constructivist learning Theory, this qualitative research adopts a phenomenological approach involving classroom observations and in-depth interviews with six instructors and twelve students over four months. Data were thematically analyzed to capture recurring pedagogical patterns and learner experiences. The findings reveal that the constructivist approach is more effective in advanced-level classes, as students with prior grammatical knowledge actively engage in meaning construction. A key strategy identified is the use of i'rāb (grammatical analysis), which enhances students' ability to decode and comprehend Arabic texts. The study underscores the pedagogical value of i'rāb within a constructivist framework and highlights the necessity of aligning instructional strategies with students' linguistic backgrounds. These insights contribute to the development of context-sensitive Arabic reading instruction in heterogeneous academic settings

Abstract

The objective of this research is to understand the factors that influence vocabulary acquisition, thereby enhancing students' linguistic skills within a language environment. The approach used in this study is phenomenology, employing an interpretive paradigm. The method utilized in this research is descriptive qualitative. The results of the study reveal that learning Arabic within a language environment plays a crucial role in vocabulary acquisition and constitutes a part of the learning strategy. In the absence of a language environment in Arabic learning, the following impacts on vocabulary acquisition are observed: 1) students are likely to forget the vocabulary they have memorized easily, and 2) their vocabulary repertoire will not expand without memorization. Thus, the presence of a language environment can eliminate the need for vocabulary memorization. A conducive language environment plays a crucial role in enhancing students' Arabic language proficiency, and thus should be integrated into language learning strategies. Alternative strategies, such as elaboration and the creation of a language-rich environment, are effective in optimizing vocabulary acquisition, particularly in less supportive settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the direction and implementation of Arabic language instruction as a foreign language within the environment of Ma’had IAIN Kerinci. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research explores various aspects of language learning, including goal formulation, teaching methods, student motivation, and curriculum relevance. The findings reveal that the direction of Arabic instruction at Ma’had IAIN Kerinci is significantly influenced by the alignment between learning objectives, curriculum design, methodological approaches, and students’ internal factors. The primary discovery highlights that the instructional direction, which has not been explicitly formulated, contributes to a lack of cohesion between curriculum content, teaching methods, and communicative competence goals. The study underscores the importance of a well-defined instructional direction as a central element that influences the effectiveness of communicative-based pedagogical approaches. Furthermore, it suggests that curriculum reform emphasizing functional and applied language skills is essential. Innovative teaching methods also play a vital role in enhancing students’ active participation and emotional engagement. Additionally, this study identifies two major motivational poles among students—academic and religious—which shape their learning orientation and imply the necessity for a dual-responsive instructional design. These findings indicate that instructional direction is not merely a pedagogical concept but a strategic foundation that determines the quality and relevance of Arabic language education as a foreign language.

Abstract

This study explores the lexical and cultural challenges faced by novice translators in Arabic–Indonesian translation, a field that remains relatively underexplored despite its significant pedagogical relevance. The primary aim of this research is to identify common types of translation difficulties and to analyze the strategies employed by novice translators to address them. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from 15 fifth-semester students of the Arabic Language Education Program at the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) of Kerinci, who were enrolled in a translation course. Data were gathered through translation tasks, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring patterns of difficulties and strategies consistently observed during the translation process. The analysis revealed that major translation difficulties stemmed from the morphological complexity of Arabic, syntactic differences, semantic ambiguity, and cultural-linguistic gaps between Arabic and Indonesian. Three key patterns of difficulty were identified: misinterpretation of polysemous words, literal translation of idiomatic expressions, and loss of cultural meaning in context-bound terms. While most participants relied on literal translation and simplification strategies, they generally lacked adequate strategic awareness. Based on these findings, the study proposes a learner-centered contextual strategy model integrating explicit grammar instruction, contrastive Arabic–Indonesian analysis, and meaning-based scaffolding. This model is designed to support novice translators in producing more accurate, context-sensitive, and culturally appropriate translations. The study contributes to the pedagogical development of Arabic–Indonesian translation studies by highlighting learner needs and offering practical solutions relevant to the early stages of language acquisition.

Abstract

Abstract This paper explores the steps for learning Arabic reading skills based on e-Learning using SIKULI and the advantages and disadvantages of e-Learning. The approach is a descriptive qualitative approach with three data collection techniques, namely: (1) observation, (2) interviews, and (3) documentation. The results showed that there were three steps taken by lecturers in implementing e-Learning-based Arabic reading skills using SIKULI, namely: (1) pre-learning, (2) implementation of learning, and (3) evaluation of learning. Researchers also found several advantages of implementing e-Learning-based Arabic reading skills using SIKULI, namely: (1) assisting the internal quality assurance system (SPMI) through monitoring and evaluation, (2) practical and flexible, (3) providing supporting features and menus. However, besides having various advantages, as an e-Learning that has just been built and used, SIKULI is also not free from multiple shortcomings, namely: (1) frequently interrupted system, (2) no notifications, (3) poor internet network. Nevertheless, The results of this sytudy are hoped to provide insight and alternative solutions for lecturers in carrying out online learning of Arabic reading skills during the Covid-19 pandemic.
