Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) has gained increasing attention in educational research for its potential to enhance learning through immersive and multimodal experiences; however, its application in Arabic poetry learning remains underexplored. This study aims to analyse pedagogical challenges and learner needs in studying Arabic poetry, to design an AR-based instructional module grounded in instructional design and multimedia learning principles, and to develop and evaluate the early usability and pedagogical value of the proposed module through the i-Oasis application. A quantitative research design employing a survey-based needs analysis was implemented with five undergraduate Arabic learners who used the AR application over two instructional sessions within one week. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that difficult vocabulary constituted the most critical challenge (100%), followed by complex grammar, lack of historical and cultural context, and difficulty in visualising poetic imagery (each at 80%), while low interaction and boredom were reported by 40% of participants. Learners demonstrated a strong preference for visual explanations (100%), contextual and digital learning approaches (80%), and multimodal AR content integrating text, images, audio, video, animation, and three-dimensional objects (100%). From a usability perspective, page-flipping navigation (100%), combined icon–text menus (80%), and mobile-first design (60%) were strongly favoured. These findings confirm that the challenges of Arabic poetry learning are not purely linguistic but are deeply tied to visualisation, contextualisation, and learner engagement. The study contributes to the emerging field of immersive literary learning by providing empirically grounded design requirements for AR-based Arabic poetry instruction. Although constrained by a small sample size and short implementation duration, the findings offer a robust foundation for future large-scale experimental and longitudinal research on AR-supported literary education.

Abstract

This study explores the cognitive abilities of blind and visually impaired individuals in relation to their potential to perform interpreting tasks, addressing a notable gap in the existing literature. While prior research has examined interpreter competencies and disability studies separately, few empirical investigations have focused on the aptitude of visually impaired individuals for cognitively demanding tasks such as interpreting. This research seeks to bridge that gap by empirically examining the cognitive strengths of this group- particularly in memory, attention, and language- thereby challenging prevailing assumptions and promoting inclusivity within the interpreting profession. It seeks to specifically investigate (1) the extent to which blind and visually impaired individuals demonstrate memory capacities aligned with the competences required in interpreting, and (2) how blindness influences interpreters’ cognitive and professional performance. Data were collected from 32 Saudi secondary school students (18 male, 14 female) with varying degrees of visual impairment. A modified version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment – Blind version (MoCA-Blind) was administered to assess three auditory-based domains: Memory (Delayed Recall), Attention, and Language. The findings indicate that visually impaired students- particularly females- demonstrate strong and consistent cognitive performance in memory, attention, and language, which are essential for effective simultaneous interpreting.

Abstract

This research aims to uncover the effectiveness, strategies, and learning models based on the application of ma'ani knowledge in improving students' rhetorical analysis and contextual understanding competencies in learning Arabic. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a library research approach, data analysis in the form of content analysis, and data validity through source triangulation. The results of the study show that the application of ma'ani science includes the analysis of khabar–insyā', taqdim–ta'khir, ta'rīf–tankīr, faṣl–waṣl, ījāz–iṭnāb, as well as the pattern of musnad–musnad ilayh and muta'allaq al-fi'l in Surah Al-Fātiḥah can be used as a learning basis to improve students' rhetorical analysis skills and contextual understanding. The learning strategy based on knowledge indicators helps students identify the focus of meaning, interpret rhetorical intensity, and understand the linguistic structure of the Qur'anic texts in depth and systematically, while enriching their academic, spiritual, and linguistic understanding.

Abstract

Game-Based Learning (GBL) is an educational approach that uses games as the basis of an interactive medium to increase student motivation and engagement in an immersive way. In general, GBL is divided into two main forms, namely digital-based games such as social media applications and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based platforms, and physical games such as crossword puzzles and flashcards. The development of AI technology after the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the emergence of various exciting innovations in education, including the integration of GBL in Arabic language learning. However, traditional methods based on memorization and repetition are becoming less relevant because they have the potential to affect student motivation and engagement. In addition, the issue of students' lack of interest in Arabic due to factors other than native speakers has become a point of difficulty for Arabic language teachers. Arabic language teachers also face difficulties in helping students remember and understand words, causing students to be at an unsatisfactory level. Therefore, this study aims to explore the challenges of lower secondary students towards the use of AI-based GBL in Arabic vocabulary learning, in addition to identifying their needs and perceptions of this approach. This study used a phenomenological qualitative design with face-to-face interview techniques, structured observation through test questions, small group discussions, and document analysis. Data were analyzed thematically to produce a comprehensive picture of the students' experiences. The target sample respondents consisted of Form 2 and Form 3 students at Sekolah Menengah Agama Negeri (SMAN) Perak. The study findings are expected to provide an in-depth picture of the potential and effectiveness of GBL in enriching Arabic vocabulary which contributes to strengthening language literacy through the use of AI technology.Keywords: Game-Based Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Arabic vocabulary, innovation, challenges

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive linguistic analysis of the political opposition discourse in the Iraqi Council of Representatives during the first parliamentary term (2006–2010). It employs textual discourse analysis to examine the linguistic features and rhetorical strategies used by opposition blocs to express their positions during parliamentary sessions, including withdrawal, boycott, and suspension of membership. The research highlights how these linguistic strategies reflect political and social conflicts within the parliamentary arena. The study draws on official session transcripts, statements by members of parliament, press releases, and media coverage, analyzing language at syntactic, semantic, and rhetorical levels, with a focus on tools such as negation, emphasis, metaphor, and simile. The time frame of the study covers 2006 to 2010, a critical period following the U.S. occupation, characterized by heightened political tensions and security challenges. Preliminary analysis indicates that the opposition used a variety of complex linguistic tools to express dissent, convey political pressure, and influence public opinion, while the political consensus of the period limited parliamentary oversight and weakened the opposition’s role, affecting legislative performance and democratic development. The study emphasizes the importance of language as a medium for understanding political processes and suggests that further research on subsequent parliamentary terms could enrich knowledge of Iraqi political discourse. Moreover, it contributes to understanding how such linguistic practices may benefit speakers of languages other than Arabic by providing insights into political communication and rhetoric in multilingual contexts.
Etiquettes Of Tawakkul In Scientific Research Writing: A Linguistic and Thematic Qur’ānic Study/ آداب التوكّل على الله تعالى في كتابة البحث العلمي: دراسة قرآنية لغوية موضوعية Abdelali Bey Zekkoub; Khaled Nabawi Suliaman; Yaser Annajr

Abstract

Tawakkul in research serves both as a spiritual and methodological principle, guiding the researcher, improving the quality of work, fortifying it ethically, and motivating the production of beneficial and impactful knowledge that serves the self, community, nation, and seeks Allāh’s pleasure. The lack of Qur’ānic grounding and practical application of Tawakkul in research can lead to methodological lapses and unethical practices. This study aimed to define Tawakkul in scientific research, extract its practical etiquettes from the Qur’ān, and link them to contemporary academic practice. Using an inductive-analytical approach to Qur’ānic texts and a deductive method for practical application, the study defined Tawakkul as reliance on Allāh while taking legitimate means, exerting effort, maintaining diligence, and seeking divine pleasure and societal benefit. Twenty etiquettes were identified, grouped into three domains: reliance on the Creator (trust, seeking assistance), self-discipline (initiative, perseverance), and responsibility toward others (scientific integrity and service). Adhering to these principles enhances research integrity, prevents plagiarism and dishonesty, elevates the status of scientific research, and ensures the continuity of its scholarly and ethical impact.

Abstract

 This study examines reasoning in Arabic critical and rhetorical discourse as a tool used by critics and rhetoricians in analyzing literary texts, interpreting critical and rhetorical judgments, and proving critical and rhetorical rules. Arab thought began to question the reasoning behind critical and rhetorical judgments and would not accept them unless accompanied by analysis and reasoning. For this reason, critics and rhetoricians used reasoning to strengthen judgments and instill them in the minds of recipients. Reasoning became a tool for verification and confirmation, because proving a judgment with reasoning is more certain in the mind than proving it without reasoning. The mind is more receptive to judgments accompanied by reasoning than those without reasoning. Reasoning contributes to the development of creative critical thinking in recipients by proposing and seeking reasons behind critical and rhetorical judgments. Reasoning among critics and rhetoricians takes many forms. Critical and rhetorical reasoning is influenced by reasoning in related disciplines such as theology, jurisprudence, and grammar. It is also influenced by the theological doctrines of critics and rhetoricians, particularly regarding the interpretation of religious texts and the issue of the impossibility of imitating the Quran.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the performance of learners of Arabic as a foreign language (AFL) in grammar tests and reading comprehension tests. The participants ranged from beginner to upper intermediate levels. We adopted a quantitative approach by analyzing the test results of 394 students over the 2022-2024 academic years. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression were used to examine relationships between grammar scores and reading comprehension scores. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between students’ performance in grammar and reading comprehension across all proficiency levels. Moreover, grammar test performance was a strong predictor of performance in reading comprehension, and vice versa. These results highlight the strong interconnection between grammatical competence and reading comprehension among the study sample. The results also align with findings from previous research on other foreign languages. This study represents a novel contribution to the field of teaching AFL.

Abstract

The research dealt with the mechanism of the argumentative employment of Quranic evidence in the book “Al-Iqtisad fi Sharh Al-Intiqad” by Muhammad bin Mustafa Al-Aishi. This research revealed a new grammatical figure who was not mentioned in printed grammar books, and this is a new addition to the Arabic grammatical library. The research demonstrated an important phenomenon, which is the argumentative employment of Quranic evidence by a scholar of the eleventh century AH. The research demonstrated Al-Aishi’s method of citing Quranic evidence through a clear mechanism. Al-Aishi employed Quranic evidence to document grammatical rules, establish grammatical rulings, and give preference between the readers mentioned in grammatical disagreement. In addition, Al-Aishi took the Quranic evidence as evidence to respond to and object to those who disagreed with him, since the Quranic evidence is one of the strongest pillars of the Arabic language, and in doing so, he benefits from the strongest grammatical evidence. The research relied on the descriptive analytical approach based on describing and analyzing the phenomenon according to Al-Aishi. The features of the mechanism of using the Qur’anic evidence became clear, which is manifested in the multiplicity of Qur’anic evidence in one issue, in addition to the questions that are assumed when using the Qur’anic evidence and answering those assumptions, and employing the Qur’anic evidence in a clear scientific.

Abstract

This study aims to construct a scale to measure the acquisition of academic language skills among students of the Arabic Language Institute for Non-Native Speakers at the Islamic University. The significance of the research lies in the difficulties international students face in understanding their courses, especially when dealing with specialized academic terminology in fields such as statistics and research methodology. The study proposes a comprehensive scale covering the four main skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), to serve as a diagnostic tool that supports the improvement of instructional programs and aligns them with students’ academic needs. The research is delimited to the students of the Institute at the Islamic University during the academic years 1442–1446 AH.
