Abstract

This study presents the challenges of learning maharah al-istima' (listening skills) through the use of YouTube as a learning tool. The research employed a quantitative approach with a survey design as its methodological framework. The survey aimed to gather data on students' experiences and perceptions regarding the use of YouTube in learning maharah al-istima' in Arabic. The results revealed several challenges, including the fast-paced speech of native Arabic speakers, unclear dialogue, the presence of unfamiliar vocabulary, auditory difficulties, trouble understanding the material, and a lack of focus during learning. The analysis also explored the psychological impact and student motivation when using this medium. Despite the challenges identified, the potential benefits of YouTube as a learning tool remain substantial. Therefore, further efforts are required to improve accessibility, establish stricter content selection criteria, and implement effective guidance strategies to create a more balanced and productive learning experience.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges encountered in learning mahārat al-istimāʿ (listening skills) through using YouTube as a supplementary learning tool. Employing a quantitative approach with a survey design, the research gathered data on students’ experiences and perceptions regarding the integration of YouTube in Arabic listening instruction. The findings indicate several obstacles, such as rapid native speech, unclear dialogues, unfamiliar vocabulary, auditory processing difficulties, limited comprehension, and reduced concentration. The study also highlights the psychological effects and motivational responses associated with using this platform. Despite these challenges, YouTube demonstrates significant potential as a rich and accessible resource for enhancing listening skills. The study recommends improving content accessibility, applying stricter content selection, and integrating guided learning strategies to support a more effective and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low motivation and negative perceptions of students towards Arabic language learning, which is still dominated by traditional methods and pays little attention to the affective aspects of students. The purpose of this study was to describe students' perceptions of the effectiveness of teaching methods in Arabic language learning at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Fatahillah Semarang and to identify the factors that influence it. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection through a four-level Likert scale questionnaire administered to 20 eighth-grade students. The results showed that students' perceptions were in the good category with an average score of 2.98. The indicators of clarity of delivery, variety of methods, and student participation received the highest scores (3.08), while the relevance and contextuality of the material were still the weakest aspects (2.75). In conclusion, teachers have applied quite effective methods, but there needs to be improvement in context-based and real-life learning. Scientifically, this study contributes to strengthening Arabic pedagogy studies by emphasizing the dimensions of student perception and motivation. It is recommended that future studies use a mixed methods approach to explore in greater depth the relationship between perception, motivation, and student learning outcomes.
