Abstract

This quantitative study aims to analyze the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) learning model as a strategic solution to strengthen students' confidence in speaking Arabic. The low self-confidence of students in speaking Arabic at MA Alamiriyyah in Banyuwangi, East Java, provides the background for this research. The population consists of all tenth-grade students, and a sample of 50 students was selected using purposive sampling based on similarities in initial abilities and demographic characteristics. The sample was divided into an experimental group (n = 25) and a control group (n = 25). A quasi-experimental design with an unequal control group was used. Data were collected through pretest and posttest speaking performance tests that have been validated for validity and reliability, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U test. The results show that the TPS model significantly increases confidence, as evidenced by the difference in posttest means between the experimental group (M = 83.20) and the control group (M = 73.40) at p < 0.001, with a large effect size (r = 0.50) and a moderate N-Gain (0.65). Thus, the TPS model can serve as a strategic solution through a collaborative approach that not only strengthens linguistic competence but also the affective aspects in Arabic language learning at madrasahs. This study recommends implementing TPS to address psychological issues in second-language acquisition.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand the process of developing Uno Card learning resources to improve Arabic vocabulary comprehension and to determine their effectiveness for seventh-grade female students at the Darul Istiqomah Islamic Boarding School in Bondowoso during the 2024/2025 academic year. This study employed a research-and-development methodology based on the ADDIE model. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, pre-tests, and post-tests. For data analysis, the researcher used an independent sample t-test, and to assess the effectiveness of the product, an N-Gain test was used. The findings of this study are: 1) The development of Uno Cards learning resources was carried out in five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The learning material achieved an overall validity score of 95.2% with a "highly valid" criterion, while the learning resources themselves achieved an overall validity score of 100% with a "highly valid" criterion. 85% of students gave this learning tool a very good rating. The calculated t-value of 7.502 was greater than the tabulated t-value of 2.002, indicating rejection of H0 and acceptance of Ha. This showed that the Uno card learning tool was effective in improving seventh-grade students' Arabic vocabulary comprehension. The average N-Gain score in the experimental class was 60.08, which falls into the "fairly effective" category according to the effectiveness criteria.

Abstract

This study investigates the forms and causes of Arabic writing errors (imlā’iyyah) among students at MTs Darul Qur’an Bengkel in West Lombok. The background of this research is the persistence of spelling problems in Arabic learning, especially in writing skills that require accuracy in letters, harakāt, and hamzah. The study aims to identify dominant error patterns and analyze the pedagogical and linguistic factors contributing to these errors. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the subjects of this study were students and Arabic teachers at MTs Darul Qur’an Bengkel. The data consisted of students’ written texts, classroom observation results, and interview data, all derived from students and teachers. Data were collected through classroom observation, documentation of student writing, and interviews with teachers and students, and analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis techniques: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show several recurring errors, including confusion between similar letters, omission of harakāt, incorrect placement of hamzah, and missing dots. These errors are influenced by limited practice, interference from Latin script, insufficient understanding of basic qawā‘id, and unstable student motivation. The study concludes that systematic and continuous imlā’ training, the use of visual media, and error-based instruction can significantly improve students’ Arabic writing accuracy. Recommendations are provided for developing structured learning modules and strengthening literacy programs at the madrasah.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of implementing a Webtoon-based listening learning program on students’ mastery of Arabic vocabulary at MAN 2 Banyuwangi. The research employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. The sample consisted of 52 students selected through purposive sampling, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research instrument was a vocabulary test administered as a pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the normality and homogeneity tests indicated that the data did not fully meet the assumptions for parametric testing; therefore, the Mann–Whitney U test was used for hypothesis testing. The findings revealed a significant difference in vocabulary mastery between the experimental and control groups, with an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.007 (< 0.05). Furthermore, the experimental group showed higher mean scores and more consistent learning outcomes compared to the control group. These results indicate that implementing a Webtoon-based Keterampilan mendengarprogram has a positive, significant effect on students’ Arabic vocabulary mastery. In conclusion, the use of digital comics (Webtoon) as a learning medium can enhance student engagement, increase reading interest, and improve vocabulary acquisition. Therefore, it can be recommended as an innovative and adaptive learning strategy in Arabic language education in the digital era.

Abstract

This research responds to the dominance of conventional methods that fail to spark student interest and the weak empirical evidence in similar studies. With the Make a Match model, the research aims to demonstrate enjoyable and meaningful vocabulary learning. Using a quasi-experimental Non-equivalent Control Group Design, the study involved 56 tenth-grade students from Madrasah Aliyah Al-Amiriyyah Banyuwangi, divided into an experimental and a control group. The vocabulary test instrument is valid and reliable (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.82). The analysis used the Mann-Whitney U test because the data were not normally distributed. The research results are significant. Although the initial abilities were equivalent (U = 443.50; p = 0.384), the Make a Match group improved by 43.93 points, higher than the control group, which only improved by 37.14 points. The difference in gain scores was significant (U = 522.50; p = 0.026). Observations indicate that students actively discuss, help one another, and enthusiastically participate in the game. This model transforms a passive classroom into a dynamic and collaborative one. Make a Match has proven to be an effective pedagogical strategy for improving vocabulary mastery and motivation to learn. This research provides strong causal evidence and encourages teacher innovation. Adaptive Arabic language learning for Generation Z can be realized, starting in the classroom.

Abstract

The term “Amil” refers to the grammatical factor that that determines the inflectional ending of a word. Classical and Modern Scholars of Arabic Grammar discuss on its important to the understanding the text, supporting or criticizing. This article aims to study the “Amil” and its positive or negative impact on Arabic grammar, by presenting scholars’ opinions, analyze them, and draw conclusions, using a descriptive and analytical approach. The study revealed that; the concept of “Amil” underwent a distortion after Khalil and his student Sibawayh, as it was seen as a building element and a connector of sentence structure elements, whereas others saw it as a bringer of grammatical signs. The reason some grammarians deviate from classicals’ concept of “Amil” was their influence by philosophical and other religious sciences, such as jurisprudence and theology. The theory emerged with Abdullah ibn Abi Ishaq, then passed through Isa ibn Umar, and flourished with Khalil and Matured with Sibawayh. The differences among grammarians in the theory of “Amil” reflect their intellectual orientations, with each influenced by their own school of thought.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the DeepSeek artificial intelligence platform as a correction tool in the Murasalat course (Arabic correspondence) in the Arabic Language Education Study Program at Semarang State University. The background of this research is the complexity of Arabic proficiency for non-native Arabic speakers, encompassing grammar, vocabulary, and cultural sensitivity. The method used is a mixed-methods approach involving 30 fourth-semester students divided into experimental and control groups. The primary data consisted of students’ Arabic correspondence texts collected through pre-tests, post-tests, as well as questionnaire responses and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests to determine differences between pre- and post-intervention scores, and effect size was calculated using Cohen’s d. Additionally, DeepSeek’s correction accuracy was measured across morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic error categories. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis to examine students’ perceptions of the tool. The results indicate that DeepSeek has high accuracy in detecting errors at the morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic levels, surpassing manual correction capabilities in several aspects. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in scores among the experimental group, with a mean gain of 7,73 points and a very strong effect size (Cohen's d = 3.71). Students showed positive perceptions of this tool, as it provided instant feedback that enhanced their self-confidence. However, limitations were identified in detecting complex cultural-pragmatic nuances. This study concludes that integrating DeepSeek into the Arabic language curriculum can support more effective and accurate independent learning.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of the concept of tarbiyah al-aulād (child education) in contemporary Arabic literature through a comparative study of two prominent figures, 'Abdullah Nāṣiḥ 'Ulwān and Muḥammad Nūr 'Abd al-Ḥāfiẓ Suwaid. Using a qualitative library research method, this study analyzes primary sources, namely Tarbiyat al-Aulād fī al-Islām by 'Ulwān and Manhaj al-Tarbiyah al-Nabawiyyah li al-Ṭifl by Suwaid, as well as relevant secondary sources.  Data were collected through documentation techniques, involving systematic reading, reviewing, and recording of relevant library materials from both primary and secondary sources. Data analysis employed three complementary methods: content analysis to identify key themes and arguments related to tarbiyah al-aulād; comparative analysis to systematically examine similarities and differences in the conceptual constructions of the two figures; and critical analysis to evaluate the strengths and limitations of each approach objectively. The analytical process followed three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with source triangulation applied to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings. The findings reveal that both figures share a foundational epistemological basis rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah, yet differ significantly in emphasis and methodological approach. 'Ulwān constructs a comprehensive and systematic framework covering faith, moral, physical, intellectual, psychological, social, and sexual education, whereas Suwaid places greater emphasis on the prophetic model (manhaj nabawī) as the primary reference in child-rearing practices. The comparative analysis shows that 'Ulwān's approach is more encyclopedic and prescriptive, while Suwaid's is more narrative and contextual, drawing heavily from prophetic traditions. Both contribute meaningfully to contemporary Islamic educational discourse. This study concludes that integrating both perspectives offers a more holistic and balanced model of Islamic child education applicable to modern Muslim families.
