Abstract

This study aims to assess Arabic writing proficiency among students at higher education institutions in Malaysia, focusing on their perceptions and actual performance through diagnostic testing. A descriptive-quantitative approach was employed, with instrument triangulation, including a questionnaire to evaluate students' perceptions and a diagnostic test to measure actual proficiency. The sample comprised 140 second-year students from four universities, selected through stratified random sampling. Findings revealed that students’ perceived ability was moderate, with an overall mean score of 3.44. Specific foundational skills, such as constructing simple sentences, were rated as high. However, the diagnostic test indicated a low level of writing proficiency, with an overall mean score of 2.34, highlighting a significant gap between students’ self-assessment and their actual performance. Further analysis identified weaknesses in syntax, idea cohesion, and paragraph development. The study underscores the need for a more holistic teaching approach, including intensive practical training, systematic guidance, and the integration of technology in Arabic language instruction. These findings provide valuable insights into students’ challenges and needs, serving as a foundation for developing more effective teaching and learning strategies.

Abstract

This study addresses a research gap concerning the limited empirical evidence on learners’ understanding and use of transitive and intransitive verbs in Arabic as a foreign language, particularly within the Malaysian higher education context. The study aims to examine students’ levels of comprehension and usage patterns of these verb types, as well as to identify related morphological difficulties. Adopting a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 91 undergraduate students enrolled in the LG 242 course at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS, focusing on mean scores and standard deviations to determine students’ levels of understanding and usage. The findings indicate that students demonstrate a generally high level of understanding of transitive and intransitive verbs, with mean scores ranging from 3.60 to 4.14. However, persistent difficulties were identified in accurately distinguishing between the two verb types, largely due to insufficient mastery of Arabic morphological systems. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of morphological understanding with the functional use of verbs in daily communication, an aspect that has received limited attention in previous research. The findings contribute to the literature on Arabic language pedagogy and offer practical implications for enhancing instructional and assessment strategies in teaching Arabic morphology at the tertiary level.
