Abstract

The ability to construct mufidah sentences is an important indicator of productive competence in Arabic language learning. This study aimed to examine the relationship between Qawa’id al-Lughah mastery and the ability to construct mufidah sentences among ninth-grade female students. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 78 students selected through total sampling. Data on Qawa’id al-Lughah mastery were obtained from students’ achievement scores in nahwu and sharf, while sentence construction ability was measured through a written test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the One-Sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov Test, and Spearman Rank Correlation. The findings revealed that students demonstrated good levels of grammar mastery (M = 82.99) and sentence construction ability (M = 86.06). Furthermore, a statistically significant positive relationship was found between the variables (ρ = 0.342, p = 0.002), although the correlation strength was low. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the relationship between grammatical mastery and mufidah sentence construction among female junior secondary students. The findings suggest that grammar instruction should be integrated with intensive sentence-construction practice to enhance productive Arabic language skills.
