Abstract

Arabic language instruction in Indonesian higher education faces the diglossic challenge between Fusha (standard Arabic) and Amiyah (colloquial dialects). Instruction predominantly emphasizes Fusha, while Amiyah is rarely or never formally taught, resulting in students who are proficient in formal literacy but limited in practical communication. This study aims to explore academics’ perceptions regarding the teaching of Fusha and Amiyah, understand students’ challenges, and evaluate the curriculum strategies employed. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted, involving in-depth interviews with 20 Arabic language academics from various State Islamic Universities (UINs) across Indonesia, analyzed using content analysis techniques. Findings indicate that Fusha serves as the primary foundation for academic literacy, whereas Amiyah is acquired informally through extracurricular experiences or exchange programs. Teaching strategies include lectures, text analysis, discussions, and Fusha-based writing exercises. These results provide an in-depth understanding of the prioritization of formal literacy and underscore the need to develop optional Amiyah modules to equip students with cross-cultural communication skills. The study recommends further exploration of integrating Amiyah into the formal curriculum.

Abstract

The growing disconnect between academic achievement and students’ moral-social development has become a major challenge in contemporary Islamic education, particularly as character formation often remains detached from everyday classroom practice. Although Arabic language learning contains ethical, spiritual, and social dimensions rooted in Islamic traditions, it is still predominantly positioned as a technical-linguistic subject emphasizing grammar and language proficiency. This study aims to examine how Arabic language learning functions as a pedagogical medium for fostering social awareness and humble behavior among students in Islamic secondary schools. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this study involved 45 informants consisting of school leaders, Arabic language teachers, and students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, and then analyzed using the interactive model of Huberman and Saldaña. The findings reveal that social awareness and humility are cultivated through value-oriented classroom interaction, reflective dialogue, collaborative learning, teachers’ role modeling, and school-based social activities integrated into Arabic language instruction. Ultimately, this study reconceptualizes Arabic language learning as a morally mediated social practice and positions Arabic teachers as moral agents shaping students’ ethical dispositions within Islamic educational contexts.
