Abstract

This study explores the implementation of student-made storytelling as a constructivist approach to enhance Arabic language learning among secondary students in Kedah, Malaysia. Thirty students aged 15–16 participated in a six-week program involving story creation, writing, and performance in Arabic. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected through pre–post language tests, classroom observations, interviews, and student journals. Results showed significant improvement in speaking and writing skills, especially in vocabulary richness, narrative coherence, and communicative confidence. Qualitative findings indicated that storytelling increased students’ creativity, intrinsic motivation, and emotional engagement with the Arabic language. The study concludes that student-made storytelling provides a transformative learning experience that unites linguistic, cognitive, and moral dimensions. It offers a practical framework for Islamic schools to promote creative, meaningful, and spiritually grounded Arabic education.

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of Kitab al-Afʿāl al-Yawmiyyah in enhancing Arabic language acquisition among Malaysian female students. Using a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, the study involved 30 intermediate-level students in a Kedah Islamic boarding school participated in a six-week program centered on daily verb use with a focus on feminine forms. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analysis showed a significant increase in vocabulary mastery, with post-test scores yielding a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.78). Qualitative findings revealed that the kitab strengthened students’ confidence, raised awareness of gender-appropriate verb forms, and encouraged consistent use of the feminine plural suffix -na in oral communication. The study concludes that Kitab al-Afʿāl al-Yawmiyyah is an effective and identity-affirming resource for promoting inclusive and accurate Arabic pedagogy for female learners in Malaysia.

Abstract

This study investigates the pedagogical structure and scaffolding mechanisms within Pengantar Belajar Ilmu Nahwu by Al-Habib Hasan bin Ahmad Baharun, a foundational Arabic syntax textbook widely used in pesantren education in Indonesia. While previous studies on Arabic grammar learning have primarily emphasized external scaffolding through instructional strategies or digital technologies, limited attention has been paid to the internal scaffolding embedded within traditional nahwu textbooks themselves. Grounded in Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and the scaffolding framework of Wood, Bruner, and Ross, this qualitative content analysis examines how the text sequentially supports novice learners in mastering Arabic syntax. The findings identify three interrelated scaffolding stages conceptual, procedural, and integrative through which syntactic awareness is progressively developed using simplified examples, repetitive sentence patterns, and contextualized explanations. A distinctive pedagogical feature of the book is its early emphasis on phonological recognition (ḍammah, fatḥah, and kasrah) prior to introducing abstract grammatical terminology, which functions as a cognitive bridge for beginners. The study concludes that Pengantar Belajar Ilmu Nahwu exemplifies an effective model of internal scaffolding, demonstrating how traditional Arabic grammar materials can align with contemporary educational psychology to support novice syntax learning in pesantren and similar educational contexts.
