Abstract

The learning of qawaid nahwu (Arabic grammar rules) constitutes a crucial foundation in Arabic language acquisition. However, the majority of Arabic learners face significant difficulties in mastering grammatical rules (nahwu). This is attributed to the fact that the teaching methods generally employed do not align with their linguistic and communicative needs. Based on this issue, this study aims to examine the methods used in teaching grammatical rules to provide guidance for instructors in adapting teaching strategies according to the diverse conditions and needs of learners. This study employs a descriptive-analytical method through literature review and previous research sourced from books, journals, and scientific articles discussing grammatical teaching methods. The findings reveal that there is a diversity of learning methods that can be utilized to facilitate the learning of grammatical rules. Among the most prominent are the deductive method, inductive method, modification method, activity method, and problem-solving method. This study also emphasizes the importance of selecting the most appropriate method based on learners' language proficiency levels, learning objectives, and existing learning environments. This study recommends the importance of training for Arabic language instructors for non-Arab speakers to enable them to vary teaching methods and implement modern strategies that can realize the integration of grammar mastery and linguistic communication simultaneously.

Abstract

Mastering fluency and pronunciation in Arabic poses a significant challenge for students, primarily due to a lack of practice and immediate feedback. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology, such as TalkPal AI, offers an interactive solution for practicing conversation; however, its effectiveness needs to be empirically investigated. This study aims to analyze the improvement in students' fluency and pronunciation through an intervention using TalkPal AI. The research employed a mixed methods approach with a convergent parallel design. Quantitative data were obtained from oral tests (pre-test and post-test) and analyzed using N-Gain and Paired Sample T-Tests, while qualitative data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and analyzed thematically. The results indicated a significant improvement in both fluency and pronunciation, as demonstrated by a moderate N-Gain score and the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) in the t-test. The qualitative findings revealed that this improvement was driven by the instant feedback feature, a low-pressure learning environment, and enhanced student confidence. Therefore, TalkPal AI is proven to be an effective learning tool that can comprehensively improve students' speaking competence.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of social identity in the digital da'wah content of the Risalah Amar account, which focuses on humanitarian issues in Palestine. This study uses a sociolinguistic approach, incorporating Hymes' (1974) theory of the SPEAKING model, Halliday's (1978) theory of language functions, and Hall's (1997) theory of social representation. The method employed is descriptive qualitative, using observation, note-taking, and documentation techniques for data in the form of videos, captions, and audience comments on Instagram. The results show that the language in Risalah Amar's da'wah content functions as a means of constructing a social identity that represents religious values, humanitarian solidarity, and global awareness. The choice of religious terms such as "syuhada" and "Ashabul Kahfi" serves to reinforce spiritual and ideological meanings. Furthermore, audience interaction in the comments section reflects the emotional involvement and collective solidarity of Muslims with the Palestinian issue. Thus, digital da'wah serves not only as a medium for disseminating religious values ??but also as an arena for constructing social identity and transnational solidarity through linguistic and symbolic practices in the digital space.

Abstract

This research aims to deeply explore the interest in learning Arabic among santri and its implications for Arabic speaking skills at Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Blokagung. This research uses a qualitative approach, with data collected thru in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and the head of the pesantren, as well as participant observation in the dormitory environment and daily language activities. The research findings indicate that the interest in learning Arabic among students at Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Blokagung is influenced by internal factors, namely self-awareness of the importance of Arabic as a key to understanding the Quran, Hadith, and classical Islamic texts, as well as basic experience in speaking Arabic. External factors include interactive learning, inspiring teachers, and an environment that supports communication in Arabic. High interest in learning is characterized by the courage and fluency to communicate without fear of making mistakes, even with limited vocabulary, as well as the initiative to communicate in Arabic anytime and anywhere. Conversely, students with low interest tend to experience anxiety and passivity in speaking, as well as limitations in using vocabulary. High interest in learning Arabic among students has a direct and significant impact on improving their speaking skills. Students with high interest will proactively seek opportunities to speak, both inside and outside the dormitory, because courage and confidence are the main assets for students to speak Arabic fluently. However, the main obstacle is the unsupportive environment for students who do not live in Arabic language dormitories, resulting in a limited vocabulary for daily communication.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between students’ attitudes toward learning Arabic grammar and their level of understanding of transitive and intransitive verbs, a linguistic area that has received limited attention in experimental research. The study employed a quantitative, descriptive correlational approach and included the entire research population, consisting of 83 male and female final-year students enrolled in an Arabic language course at Universiti Teknologi MARA. A census sampling technique was used due to the small and easily accessible population. The study utilized a structured questionnaire comprising four sections: demographic data, level of verb usage, level of grammatical understanding, and students’ attitudes toward learning grammar. The overall Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.89) indicated a high level of reliability. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that students’ attitudes toward grammar were high (M = 4.22, SD = 0.67), as was their level of grammatical understanding (M = 3.81, SD = 0.81). Pearson correlation analysis showed a moderate to strong positive relationship between students’ attitudes and their level of grammatical understanding (r = 0.66, p < 0.001). This study contributes by providing quantitative empirical evidence linking psychological attitudes with grammatical achievement in the context of Arabic language learning—an area that still lacks sufficient field-based research, particularly in the Malaysian educational setting. The findings recommend the adoption of interactive, technology-supported instructional strategies to foster positive attitudes toward Arabic grammar. The study also calls for future research to explore additional variables, such as language anxiety, learning strategies, and the impact of technology on the development of learners’ grammatical competence.

Abstract

Previous studies have generally examined the narrative of Isra' and Mi'raj from historical or jurisprudential perspectives, leaving a distinct research gap regarding the linguistic aesthetic dimensions of classical religious prose. Addressing this, this study aims to analyze the classification and rhetorical functions of the As-Saja’ (rhymed prose) stylistic device in the book Nurul Wahhāj fī Qiṣṣōti Isrā’ Wal Mi’rāj. This descriptive qualitative research employs a balaghah (rhetorical) approach focusing on 'Ilm al-Badi’, utilizing content analysis on the primary manuscript. The results identified 141 forms of As-Saja’, comprising Mutharraf (77 data), Mutawazi (56 data), and a minor portion of Murashsha’ (8 data). The dominance of Mutharraf and Mutawazi demonstrates that the author integrated rhyme as a systematic rhetorical strategy, not merely as a decorative ornament. In conclusion, As-Saja’ crucially functions to guide reading intonation, reinforce the retention of religious messages, and establish phonetic cohesion that optimizes the spiritual impact on readers

Abstract

This study examines the role of Arabic in building solidarity on social media X through the hashtag #غزة. Social movements, identity representation, and media narratives have been widely researched, but little attention has been given to how Arabic functions as a medium for unity and empathy in the digital space. Arabic is not only used as a means of communication, but also as a medium for solidarity. This research was conducted using qualitative methods through a netnographic approach over eleven months (January-November 2025). Data was collected through observation, documentation, selection, and classification of posts using Arabic language related to Gaza. The analysis was carried out using Teun A. Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis model, which covers the dimensions of text, social cognition, and social context. The findings of the study show that Arabic manifests mechanical solidarity through religious collective consciousness and organic solidarity through role differentiation in humanitarian action. This study recommends the integration of humanistic values in Arabic language education so that learning is oriented towards social and moral awareness
