Abstract

Tamil speaking undergraduates at the Department of Arabic Language, Southeastern University of Sri Lanka, face considerable challenges in comprehending Arabic Suprasegmental phonological phenomena. This study investigates the actual state of students’ phonetic learning and identifies their needs for linguistic improvement. Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the research utilizes primary data from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews and secondary data from previous literature. The questionnaire involved 150 students and explored both linguistic background and phonetic learning challenges. Interviews with five lecturers provided qualitative insights. Quantitative data were analyzed via SPSS, and qualitative content analysis was applied. The findings highlight key factors such as individual differences, language interference, curriculum design, lack of practice, and infrastructural limitations. While 70% of students express a desire to study phonetics, obstacles include confusion between phonetics and Tajweed and perceived irrelevance to career prospects. The research emphasizes the negative impact of phonological errors on language proficiency and recommends structured, practice-oriented modules to enhance Arabic phonological skills.

Abstract

The Arabic language, the language of the Holy Qur’an, is one of the most widely spoken languages within the Semitic language group. Students learn Arabic as a second or foreign language worldwide for various reasons. Arabic language scholars have developed numerous methods to teach the Arabic language. This study utilizes the teaching methods used by the Prophet Muhammad to enhance the teaching of the Arabic language to non-Arabic speakers. The objectives of the research are to expose the methods of teaching adopted by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and propose a visionary method to enhance the effectiveness of teaching the Arabic language to non-native speakers. The study employed a descriptive-analytical deductive method. The data was obtained through library research, including books, magazines, previous research, and internet resources. The key findings of this research indicate that the teaching approach adopted by the Prophet is a holistic and interactive method for teaching the Arabic language to non-native speakers. This approach emphasizes teaching pronunciation of letters using the method of repetition; developing listening skills using the method of storytelling; enhancing teaching vocabulary and writing using proverbs, utilizing gestures, or using illustrations for clarification and statements; developing the skill of speaking using dialogue and discussion methods; and developing the reading skill by using the questioning and answer method during the teaching-learning process. More importantly, Prophet Muhammad focused on teaching methods to develop the skills of listening and speaking, as he was illiterate and unable to read and write. Hence, he engaged the audience by attracting their attention through oral communication.
