Abstract

This article examines the deconstruction of gender stereotypes in Nancy Ajram's song “Yā Banāt” through the combined lens of critical discourse analysis and gender performativity theory. It explores how the song challenges entrenched stereotypes of Arab women by integrating cultural and religious symbolism with elements of cultural hybridity that bridge Arab tradition and global modernity. The research analyzes the song’s lyrics, the visual language of its music video, and audience responses on social media to reveal how “Yā Banāt”  articulates an active, joyful, and emancipatory identity for young Arab women. The study situates this work within the broader context of Arab feminist and popular culture discourses, addressing the gap in Arab music scholarship that often overlooks popular music as a site of gender negotiation. By incorporating theoretical frameworks from Islamic and Arab feminism as well as postcolonial studies, the findings highlight how popular music can function as a culturally resonant tool for social change, fostering new narratives of femininity that are both locally grounded and globally informed. This contributes to expanding feminist theory within the realm of popular culture in the Arab world.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of applying David Ausubel's cognitive theory on students' Nahwu learning outcomes at Madrasah Diniyah Nurul Huda Malang. The research used a pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. The subjects were 20 students who received learning treatment based on Ausubel's cognitive theory. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test results and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' Nahwu learning outcomes after applying Ausubel's cognitive theory, as indicated by the Wilcoxon test (Z = -3.738, Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05). These results suggest that integrating meaningful learning principles enhances students' ability to connect new knowledge with prior understanding, thereby improving conceptual mastery in Nahwu. Theoretically, this study reinforces Ausubel's claim that prior knowledge is a key determinant in cognitive development. Pedagogically, the findings encourage Arabic language educators to design learning experiences that activate students' existing knowledge structures to achieve deeper, more sustainable learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of qiyās within the framework of ushul al-sharf and to analyze its relevance as a productive instrument in the derivation of modern Arabic vocabulary. The research is motivated by the need for the Arabic language to adapt to the rapid advancement of science and technology through the systematic creation of new terms that remain faithful to its morphological principles. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and library research method, this study explores the theoretical foundations of qiyās in classical linguistic works such as those of Sibawaih, al-Anbari, and al-Marzūqī, and compares them with contemporary derivational practices in modern Arabic terminology. The findings reveal that qiyās functions as a morphological analogy mechanism that enables the formation of new lexical items in a systematic and rule-governed manner. Consequently, qiyās serves not only as a normative linguistic method in classical Arabic grammar but also as an innovative and adaptive strategy in modern morphological development, contributing to the enrichment and modernization of Arabic vocabulary in various scientific and cultural fields.

Abstract

Language serves as a vital medium for human communication, allowing individuals to express ideas, emotions, and knowledge. In Arabic language learning, speaking skill (mahārat al-kalām) is a core component that reflects communicative competence. However, current Arabic teaching practices often remain conventional, emphasizing memorization and grammar explanation rather than authentic speaking interaction. Learners frequently experience low motivation, speaking anxiety, and limited opportunities to practice in meaningful contexts. To address these challenges, this study aims to analyze the utilization of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based conversational model, for developing mahārat al-kalām through a deep learning approach. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with literature analysis, this research synthesizes findings from recent scholarly works on Arabic language pedagogy, AI integration, and deep learning principles. The results reveal that ChatGPT can simulate authentic dialogues, provide real-time feedback, and promote reflective and contextual learning, aligning with the core values of deep learning. Furthermore, it offers an engaging, learner-centered environment that fosters communicative confidence and higher-order thinking. The study concludes that integrating ChatGPT into Arabic-speaking instruction represents an innovative pedagogical model for enhancing meaningful and transformative language learning.

Abstract

This research aims to uncover the memories embedded in the verses of mahjar poetry anthology by Charbel Baini and link them to social conditions to explore the identity and culture of the Lebanese people. The research analyzes the memories evoked within the collective consciousness of the diaspora community through Jan Assmann's cultural memory approach. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, gathering data from various sources such as books, previous research, and relevant online references. In the context of the diaspora, mahjar poetry reflects a longing for the homeland, traditions, and experiences interwoven with cultural symbols. The analysis focuses on cultural memory symbols found in the verses, such as songs, dances, culinary traditions, cityscapes, heroes, and wars. The findings reveal that these elements serve as markers of identity, culture, and history, representing not only life in the homeland but also providing emotional strength for the Lebanese diaspora community. This prove that mahjar poetry plays a crucial role in articulating collective memory and maintaining a sense of unity among the diaspora, despite their geographical separation from their homeland.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of flipped learning in improving students’ Arabic reading comprehension (qirā’ah) in Islamic higher education. Addressing the limited empirical evidence on flipped learning for Arabic reading, particularly in text-based instruction, this quasi-experimental study employed a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design at Ma’had UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Sixty first-year students were divided into an experimental class (n = 30) and a control class (n = 30), with both groups receiving the same qirā’ah materials. The experimental class engaged in flipped learning through independent pre-class preparation, in-class text analysis, vocabulary and sentence-structure activities, collaborative discussion, and post-class reinforcement. The control class received conventional instruction. Data were collected through validated and reliable pretest and posttest instruments, supported by observation of implementation consistency. The results revealed a significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001), with the experimental class achieving a higher mean score (M = 96.33) than the control class (M = 63.00). The rank-biserial correlation was 0.964, indicating a very large effect. These findings demonstrate that flipped learning effectively enhances qirā’ah comprehension and promotes active engagement with Arabic texts. The study contributes empirical evidence for applying flipped learning to receptive Arabic skills in Islamic higher education.
Diglosia Arab dan Pemerolehan Bahasa: Studi Psikolinguistik Berbasis Kajian Kepustakaan terhadap Persepsi dan Produksi Fuṣḥā dan ‘Āmiyyah Adam Nadzirul Wuqu'; Mu Ida Nur Fadhilah; Adzrah Dwi Sunarty Abas

Abstract

This article provides a conceptual analysis of how diglossic conditions involving al-‘Arabiyyah al-Fuṣḥā and the various ‘Āmiyyah dialects shape Arabic language acquisition from a psycholinguistic perspective. Using a library research approach and content analysis, the study examines the cognitive mechanisms underlying phonological perception, lexical access, root–pattern morphological mapping, and speech production among L2 learners of Arabic. Findings indicate that learners develop two parallel linguistic systems, causing frequent lexical competition and dialect-driven interference during language production. Diglossia also increases cognitive load in phonological decoding, working-memory processing, and attentional control, particularly when representations of Fuṣḥā are not yet strongly established in long-term memory. The study concludes that Arabic L2 interlanguage systematically reflects the influence of diglossia, implying that effective pedagogy must integrate Fuṣḥā and dialectal input through multimodal reinforcement, explicit phonological training, and context-sensitive production tasks to support more stable communicative competence.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the pedagogical and technical dimensions of utilizing chatbots as virtual conversation partners to develop the speaking skills of beginner learners of Arabic as a foreign language. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach based on library research, synthesizing pedagogical literature, analyzing technical models, and establishing links between Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theories and generative artificial intelligence applications. The study discusses the existing gap between the "poverty of the linguistic environment" in traditional settings and the potential of "virtual partners" to reduce language anxiety and provide comprehensible input. The findings indicate that chatbots provide a "linguistically safe" environment that supports self-regulated learning and enhances both fluency and accuracy through instant corrective feedback. The study concludes by establishing a theoretical framework that proposes pedagogical criteria for designing specialized educational chatbots tailored for Arabic conversation.
