Abstract

The development of ICT (Information, communication, & technology) requires teachers to innovate and align themselves with technological developments, diagnostic assessment is vital in identifying students initial abilities, strengths, and weaknesses in Arabic text reading skills. With the integration of TPACK, teachers can utilize technology to design assessment instruments that are more effective, interactive, and relevant to students needs, as well as develop pedagogical approaches that match the characteristics of the content. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of how technology, if appropriately integrated with pedagogical and language content understanding, can effectively improve Arabic language teaching and learning, particularly in the diagnostic assessment of mahārah qirā’ah.  The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research data sources are divided into two sources: the first source of literary data and field data sources. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and analysis of student assessment documents. The results showed that TPACK-based diagnostic assessment helped teachers map students abilities more thoroughly. Technology allows the presentation of more varied and exciting assessments, thus increasing student motivation in learning. In addition, integrating technology, pedagogy, and content makes it easier for teachers to design more targeted and practical knowledge.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the influence of psychological factors on the mastery of Arabic writing skills, specifically in al-Insya’ (composition) among Year 7 students at an Arabic school in Brunei Darussalam. A mixed-method research approach was employed, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods. For the quantitative component, a questionnaire was distributed to 23 students of Year 7 to assess their level of motivation and attitudes toward al-Insya’ writing skills. Meanwhile, the qualitative method involved semi-structured interviews with four Arabic language teachers to gain in-depth insights into the psychological factors affecting students’ performance in al-Insya’ writing.The findings revealed that students’ attitudes toward writing skills were at a moderate level, with intrinsic motivation identified as a more dominant factor than extrinsic motivation in encouraging effective writing. Interviews with teachers further highlighted that factors such as self-confidence, learning environment, and teaching approaches play significant roles in shaping students’ al-Insya’ writing abilities. These findings carry important implications for Arabic language teachers in designing more comprehensive teaching strategies that not only focus on instructional aspects but also consider students’ psychological dimensions. This study also contributes to the growing body of literature in Arabic language education and opens avenues for more in-depth future research.

Abstract

This article analyzes the experiences of seventh-grade students in the implementation of the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) learning model in the Nahwu subject at Daarul Huffaadz Alfalahiyah Islamic Boarding School. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the TSTS model in enhancing student engagement and comprehension of Nahwu material, which has often been perceived as difficult and tedious by many students. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interviews with students and classroom observations. The findings reveal that the majority of students experienced a significant improvement in their understanding of Nahwu after the application of the TSTS model. Students reported feeling more active and involved in the learning process, particularly due to the opportunity to discuss, express opinions, and explain material to their peers. One student stated, “After participating in Nahwu learning with the TSTS model, I feel very happy and more confident. This method made learning more interactive and enjoyable.” In addition to improving comprehension, the model also helps develop students' communication and collaboration skills. Observations indicated that student interactions became more dynamic compared to traditional teaching methods. The teacher's role as a facilitator, guiding discussions without dominating them, aligns with constructivist principles, which emphasize the importance of social interaction in the learning process. Key factors that support the success of this model include student readiness, teacher support, and a conducive learning environment. However, challenges remain, such as the model’s dependence on effective student collaboration, which needs to be carefully managed.

Abstract

Learning Arabic in a madrasah requires special conditions to enrich the active language experience. More is needed in a conventional classroom, and an environment that supports the Arabic learning process is also needed. This paper aims to describe the role of the language environment in Arabic language learning, the strategic steps of MTsN 3 Malang in developing Arabic language environment development programs, and their impact on language learning. This research uses qualitative research methods with a case study approach. This approach was chosen because it aligns with the research objective to gain an in-depth understanding of the strategies for developing the Arabic language environment at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri (MTsN) 3 Malang. The results show that the development of the Arabic language environment at MTsN 3 Malang is carried out in three strategic steps, namely 1) the formation of Arabic language drivers, 2) the installation of Arabic language zones, and 3) the socialization and reinforcement of Arabic language competencies for teachers. These strategic steps have an impact on 1) improving students' Arabic language skills, 2) improving the competence and quality of teachers, 3) using innovative teaching methods, 4) forming an Islamic learning environment, 5) strengthening students' religious identity in the MTsN 3 Malang environment.

Abstract

The current Arabic language instruction predominantly relies on conventional methods based on textbooks, which may not fully engage students in today’s technology-driven educational landscape. Therefore, integrating modern learning tools is essential. This study investigates the implementation of the Duolingo method at MTs Muhammadiyah 2 Jenangan and analyzes its effectiveness in improving students’ proficiency in Arabic vocabulary. This study employs a quantitative approach utilizing a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The research population comprises 183 students, with the sample drawn from the eighth-grade cohort. Specifically, 30 students from Class VIII A were assigned to the control group, while 31 students from Class VIII B served as the experimental group. The primary instrument for data collection is a test administered as both a pre-test and a post-test. Data were analyzed using SPSS, employing several statistical procedures, including the Normality test, Wilcoxon test, Homogeneity test, and Mann-Whitney test. The results indicate that the use of the Duolingo application significantly enhances students' vocabulary acquisition in Arabic language learning, with p-values of 0.001 for both the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho).

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between vocabulary mastery in Arabic rhetoric terms and the speech proficiency of members of Jamiyyatu-l-Khuthaba' at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor. Arabic rhetoric requires strong vocabulary mastery to facilitate the effective delivery of ideas, thereby enhancing speech proficiency. This research employs a descriptive quantitative approach with a correlation method. Data were collected through observation, written tests to measure vocabulary mastery, and oral tests to assess speech proficiency. Data analysis was conducted using the product-moment correlation technique at a 5% significance level. The results showed that the average vocabulary mastery score was 33.7, while the average speech proficiency score was 33.8, both at an adequate level. The correlation coefficient between vocabulary mastery and speech proficiency was found to be very high, at 0.935. This indicates that vocabulary mastery has a significant relationship with speech proficiency. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the management of Jamiyyatu-l-Khuthaba' enhance vocabulary training, provide exemplary speeches, and encourage members to recognize the importance of vocabulary in improving their speech competencies.

Abstract

Arabic, as the language of the Quran and Hadith, plays a central role in gaining a deep understanding of Islamic teachings. In the context of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), the ability to read Kitab Kuning is a fundamental skill for students. This research aims to identify, compare, and conduct an in-depth analysis of various methods of teaching Kitab Kuning reading that have been implemented in various pesantren. Through a qualitative and bibliometric approach, this study examines seven learning methods most commonly found in the relevant literature. A comparative analysis is conducted to reveal the unique characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each method, both those rooted in classical traditions and those adopting modern approaches. The results of this study are expected to make a significant contribution to the development of curricula and the practice of Arabic reading instruction in pesantren. By understanding the strengths and challenges of each method, teachers and pesantren administrators can select and adapt the most suitable methods for the characteristics of students and learning objectives. Furthermore, this research is also expected to serve as a reference for further research in the field of Islamic education, especially related to Arabic language learning.
