Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how Arabic language teachers at Pesantren Ar-Raudlatul Hasanah implement the Direct Method, focusing on their instructional strategies and the challenges they encounter. Design/methods/approach – Using a narrative inquiry approach grounded in Clandinin and Connelly’s framework, data were collected through unstructured narrative interviews with ten teachers (2–5 years’ experience), supported by observations and field notes. The narratives were thematically analyzed while preserving the authenticity of teachers’ voices. Findings – The results show that teachers employ a context-responsive hybrid Direct Method, combining full Arabic instruction with selective translation, peer clarification, embodied demonstration, teaching aids, and outdoor activities. Challenges include spelling accuracy, differing literacy backgrounds, large class sizes, and fluctuating student attention. Teachers respond through individualized support, repetitive drills, collaboration with senior tutors, and adaptive code-switching. Research implications – The study contributes the concept of a Pesantren-Based Hybrid Direct Method and highlights the value of narrative inquiry in uncovering teachers’ lived pedagogical reasoning. It recommends strengthening teacher training, improving media availability, and aligning assessment with oral–written balance.الهدف - يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة كيفية توظيف معلّمات اللغة العربية في معهد الروضة الحسنة للتربية الإسلامية بميدان لطريقة التدريس المباشرة، مع التركيز على إستراتيجياتهن التعليمية والتحديات التي يواجهنها. المنهج والمدخل والتصميم - استخدم البحث منهج الاستقصاء القصصي بالاعتماد على إطار كلاندينين وكونلي، حيث جُمعت البيانات عبر مقابلات سردية غير مقيَّدة مع عشر معلّمات يمتلكن خبرة تدريس تتراوح بين سنتين وخمس سنوات، إضافة إلى الملاحظات الميدانية. وحُلّلت السرديات موضوعيًا مع الحفاظ على أصالة صوت المبحوثات. النتائج - أظهرت النتائج أن المعلّمات يطبّقن صيغة هجينة من الطريقة المباشرة تجمع بين استخدام العربية الكاملة والترجمة الانتقائية، والتوضيح بين الطالبات، والتعليم الجسدي، والوسائل التعليمية، والأنشطة خارج الصف. وتتمثّل التحديات في ضعف الإملاء، وتباين الخلفيات القرائية، وكِبَرحجم الفصول، وتشتّت الانتباه. وقد واجهن هذه التحديات عبر الدعم الفردي، والتدريبات المتكررة، والتعاون مع المدرّسات الخبيرات، واستخدام التحويل اللغوي عند الحاجة. الآثار - يقدّم البحث إسهامًا مفاهيميًا يتمثّل في إبراز الطريقة المباشرة الهجينة في سياق المعهد، ويؤكد فاعلية المنهج السردي في الكشف عن منطق الممارسة لدى المعلّمات. وتوصي النتائج بتطوير برامج تدريب معلّمات اللغة العربية، وتوفير وسائل تعليمية أكثر تنوّعًا، ومواءمة أدوات التقييم بين المهارات الشفوية والكتابية.

Abstract

Purpose –This study examines the Hadrami community in Tegal within the broader academic discourse of diaspora studies, identity formation, and Arab–Indonesian sociocultural interaction. While Hadrami migration to Indonesia has been widely documented in major cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Pekalongan, very little attention has been given to medium-sized cities like Tegal. This gap is academically relevant because smaller communities reveal how diaspora identity is negotiated in everyday, semi-urban environments rather than in dominant economic hubs. Design/methods/approach –This study examines the Hadrami community in Tegal within the broader academic discourse of diaspora studies, identity formation, and Arab–Indonesian sociocultural interaction. While Hadrami migration to Indonesia has been widely documented in major cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Pekalongan, very little attention has been given to medium-sized cities like Tegal. This gap is academically relevant because smaller communities reveal how diaspora identity is negotiated in everyday, semi-urban environments rather than in dominant economic hubs. Findings –The findings show a dynamic relationship between cultural preservation and integration: religious institutions sustain communal identity, while economic activities strengthen their local presence. Research implications – Theoretically, the study contributes to diaspora and ethnic-identity scholarship by illustrating that Hadrami identity is contextually shaped by localized social structures. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of documenting minority community heritage in regional Indonesia.

Abstract

The protracted Palestinian–Israeli conflict has generated extensive global media attention, particularly following the Thufan Al-Aqsa incident in 2023. While numerous studies have examined the conflict from political, historical, and media perspectives, limited attention has been paid to Palestinian digital communication from a pragmatic and speech act theoretical framework. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the illocutionary intentions embedded in Palestinian social media discourse during Thufan Al-Aqsa. Grounded in speech act theory within pragmatics, this research employs a qualitative content analysis of selected video recordings disseminated via digital platforms. The data consist of Palestinian utterances systematically sampled and categorized according to illocutionary types, followed by contextual and functional analysis to uncover communicative intentions. The findings demonstrate that Palestinian digital discourse during Thufan Al-Aqsa prominently employs representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative illocutions, reflecting functions of testimony, resistance, appeal, emotional expression, and identity assertion. These results highlight that social media functions not merely as an information channel but as a pragmatic space for political agency and meaning construction under conditions of conflict. The study contributes theoretically by extending speech act analysis to conflict-driven digital narratives, methodologically by integrating pragmatics with social media content analysis, and practically by offering insights into how marginalized communities articulate resistance and survival through digital communication.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to present Arabic novels that take Indonesia as the main topic in their narratives Design/methods/approach – The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach. The focus of this study lies in identifying and analyzing nine Arabic novels that portray Indonesia as a setting, theme, or object of narrative representation. The data were collected from written sources, both primary, in the form of the novels themselves, and secondary, such as critical articles and academic studies. The analysis was conducted descriptively to present essential information about each work, including the author’s name, year of publication, narrative context, and forms of Indonesia’s representation featured in the text. Findings – The findings reveal that there are nine Arabic novels that depict Indonesia in various representational forms. Among these works, two novels were written by Yemeni authors, two by Egyptian writers, three by Saudi Arabian authors, and one each by writers from the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The variation in the length of the novels indicates differences in narrative depth and complexity. Chronologically, these works were published over a long span—from 1927 to 2022—demonstrating a sustained Arab interest in Indonesia. Conceptually, the study shows that the image of Indonesia in Arabic literature is not a temporary phenomenon but rather a reflection of the historical, cultural, and emotional ties that have long connected Arab societies with Indonesia. Research implications – The implications of this research are expected to encourage local scholars to further explore these works as valuable cultural records for understanding cross-cultural relations and Indonesia’s image within modern Arabic literary discourse.

Abstract

Purpose: Studies on the theme of polygamy in Surah An-Nisa’ verses 3 and 129 have mostly been conducted from legal and social perspectives, while linguistic analysis of the verse’s linguistic structure—which is crucial for its meaning—is still rare. Therefore, this study places the discussion within the framework of Arabic linguistics and Qur’anic semantics by re-examining the function of one of the theories in Nahwu, namely ism maushūl, the syntactic structure, and the pragmatic implications of the verse. Methods: This study employs a descriptive-analytical literature review method to identify the main syntactic elements, examine semantic relations, and interpret the meaning of the text in the verse, drawing on classical and modern Arabic linguistic theories. Findings: The results show that the use of ism maushūl  "mā" in the verse on polygamy does not refer to women personally, but rather to certain social conditions that form the basis for the permissibility of polygamy. When examined linguistically, the verse emphasizes the existence of a “fair” condition that is pragmatically almost impossible to fulfill, so that polygamy is understood as an exception, not a recommendation. Research Implications: These findings demonstrate the importance of a linguistic approach in understanding legal verses and correcting common misconceptions about polygamy. This research also fills a gap in the study of Qur'anic linguistics.
