Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of the Spin Tamadun game in improving early childhood communication skills through Islamic history learning at KB/TK Islam Miftahul Jannah Semarang. The problem addressed is the low ability of children to express opinions, respond to questions, and use new vocabulary actively in learning activities. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques involving 15 children aged 5–6 years over four meetings. The results show an improvement in children’s communication abilities, indicated by an increased vocabulary range, greater confidence in speaking, and more active participation in class discussions and question–answer sessions. Spin Tamadun successfully created an enjoyable, interactive, and contextual learning atmosphere that encouraged children to express ideas both verbally and nonverbally with higher confidence. Therefore, Spin Tamadun serves as a simple yet effective educational medium to stimulate language development, speaking confidence, and communication skills in early childhood through meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences.Keywords: Spin Tamadun, children's communication, Islamic history learning. ABSTRAK.

Abstract

Speaking skill (maharah al-kalam) is a crucial aspect of Arabic language learning; however, university students still face various challenges, such as the lack of a language-rich environment and teaching methods that are not contextual. This study aims to systematically examine the effectiveness of digital media in teaching maharah al-kalam to university students by integrating the Input Hypothesis and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the analytical framework. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA procedure. A total of 197 records were initially identified from Google Scholar, ERIC, and ResearchGate. After screening and eligibility assessment based on predetermined inclusion criteria, 26 scholarly articles published between 2020 and 2025 were included in the final review. The findings indicate that, from the perspective of the Input Hypothesis, digital media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Vlogs, Plotagon, and WhatsApp provide comprehensible input that supports students’ speaking development. From the perspective of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), these media are effective because they are perceived as useful and easy to use, which encourages active participation and increases students’ self-confidence. These findings show that digital media function not only as sources of language input but also as accessible and acceptable learning tools for teaching maharah al-kalam in higher education. Nevertheless, challenges such as limited internet access, technical difficulties, and psychological barriers continue to hinder its implementation. This study recommends the strategic integration of digital media into the Arabic language learning curriculum and the development of hybrid learning models that are more responsive to students' needs in the digital era.
