Abstract

Arabic writing instruction (kitabah) is often considered difficult by students due to conventional teaching methods that tend to be rigid and non-contextual. This study aims to examine the implementation of authentic content-based writing instruction as an effort to enhance students’ motivation and Arabic writing skills. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups of students: experimental and control. The experimental group received instruction using authentic materials such as news articles, advertisements, and social media dialogues, while the control group continued with traditional methods. Findings revealed a significant improvement in writing ability and learning motivation among students in the experimental group. Authentic content was proven to create more relevant, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences, helping students understand the practical use of Arabic in real-life contexts. Therefore, this instructional strategy is recommended for broader implementation in Arabic language curricula at secondary and tertiary educational levels.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the syntactic structure of nominal sentences in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) by emphasizing the constituent components, structural patterns, and functional relationships between mubtada? (subject) and khabar (predicate) in various contexts of language use. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach with data sources in the form of contemporary Arabic texts, including scientific journal articles, academic texts, and Arabic-language mass media. The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques by identifying variations in the structure of the number of ismiyyah, types of khabar, element placement patterns, and accompanying pragmatic functions. The results show that although the basic structure of nominal sentences in MSA still maintains the traditional mubtada?–khabar pattern, its realization in contemporary discourse shows high flexibility. Variations in nominal structures are influenced by genre factors, information focus, and the speaker's communicative purpose. Nominal sentences in academic texts tend to be definitional and stable, while those in mass media are concise, informative, and persuasive. This study concludes that the nominal sentence structure in Modern Arabic not only represents grammatical rules, but also functions as a semantic and pragmatic strategy in discourse management.
