Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has significantly reshaped the dissemination of Islamic knowledge. Texts that were once confined to formal religious institutions are now widely accessible through global digital platforms. This study explores the dynamics of Islamic text circulation in the digital age and its implications for Islamic education, particularly in the field of Arabic language instruction. Employing a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review, the article examines the transformation of Islamic epistemology, the emergence of new meanings within digital texts, the politics of translation, and the fragmentation of religious authority in the era of new media. The findings reveal that digitization has expanded public engagement in the consumption and interpretation of Islamic texts yet also introduces challenges such as meaning simplification, ideological contestation, and the erosion of traditional religious authority. For Arabic language education, this shift presents both opportunities increased access to learning resources and demands, notably, the need to cultivate critical literacy and cultural competence to navigate the diverse representations of Islam online. This study underscores the necessity of interdisciplinary perspectives and adaptive pedagogical strategies to address the global transformations in Islamic text circulation effectively.

Abstract

The inadequate speaking abilities of class XI students in Arabic language learning at MA Khairul Ummah Batu Gajah present a challenge that necessitates an innovative and participatory solution. This study aims to assess the implementation and effectiveness of a peer tutoring method integrated with flashcard media to enhance students' speaking abilities. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing a quasi-experimental design. The study population comprised all 140 class XI students, with a sample of 28 students from class XI IPA II as the experimental group and 26 students from class XI IPA III as the control group. Data collection was conducted through tests. The analysis revealed that the t-count of 7.008 exceeded the t-table value of 2.01 at a 5% significance level, and the significance level (2-tailed) was 0.000, which is less than 0.05. Consequently, H₁ is accepted while H₀ is rejected. These results suggest the method fosters a more active, interactive, and collaborative learning environment. Therefore, this study advocates for the implementation of peer tutoring supported by visual media, such as flashcards, as an effective and engaging strategy for Arabic language instruction.

Abstract

In the digital era, Arabic language education faces challenges in remaining relevant and engaging for digital-native learners. One promising solution is the integration of technologies such as ChatGPT and gamification into the learning process. This study investigates the effectiveness of these tools in improving Qira'ah (reading) and Kitabah (writing) skills among eighth-grade students at Islamic Secondary School Alif Laam Miim Surabaya. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. The study involved 30 students selected from a population of 60. Data collection methods included classroom observation, teacher and student interviews, and performance-based tests in reading and writing. Students completed tasks involving writing and reading simple sentences on the theme of “sports,” focusing on correct structure, pronunciation, and intonation. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired sample t-tests. The results revealed a significant improvement in student performance, reading scores increased from 55.5 to 84.1 and writing from 53.5 to 83.4 (p < 0.001). ChatGPT contributed to improved grammatical accuracy and vocabulary development, while gamified platforms like Quizizz and Kahoot! enhanced student motivation and engagement. This study concludes that the integration of ChatGPT and gamification offers a practical, modern approach to Arabic instruction. It aligns with learners’ digital tendencies and encourages active, autonomous language use, suggesting a valuable model for 21st-century school education.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the types of illocutionary speech acts used in the speech delivered by Indonesia's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anis Matta, at the Preparatory Meeting of the Extraordinary Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 10, 2024. The study employs a pragmatic approach based on John Searle’s theory of speech acts. This speech is fascinating to examine due to its use of Arabic in an international forum and its emphasis on the strategic issue of Palestine. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing observation and note-taking techniques for data collection. The research findings reveal five types of illocutionary acts based on Searle’s classification: 4 assertive acts in the form of complaints, conclusions, and affirmations; 6 directive acts in the form of invitations, questions, and prayers; 1 commissive act expressing commitment or intention; 2 expressive acts in the form of gratitude and empathy; and two declarative acts that aim to change political status. These illocutionary acts express political convictions, call for collective action, reaffirm Indonesia’s commitment, foster solidarity, and challenge international structures. In the context of global diplomacy, they function as strategic tools to shape narratives, influence opinion, and strengthen Indonesia’s role in supporting Palestine.

Abstract

Fossilization is one of the main problems in learning Arabic as a foreign language. It happens when phonological, lexical, and grammatical errors stay in the learner's language even after many corrections. At the same time, the use of digital learning is growing, but its direct potential to prevent fossilization has not been fully explained. This study aims to analyze the role of digital learning strategies in preventing fossilization through a Systematic Literature Review of 30 selected publications from 2015 to 2024. The results show three main trends. The first is the use of LMS and e learning platforms. The second is the integration of artificial intelligence-based tools, such as translanguaging chatbots. The third is the readiness of institutional policies. Further analysis reveals that digital learning can help prevent fossilization through automatic feedback that enhances noticing, adaptive practice that breaks repeated error patterns, and learning environments that provide rich input. The main contribution of this study is the mapping of the direct relationship between digital features such as automatic correction, learning analytics, and AI-based translanguaging and the cognitive mechanisms that support the restructuring of the learner's interlanguage. These findings give a conceptual basis for teachers and institutions to design digital Arabic learning that is more effective and more responsive to linguistic errors.

Abstract

Secondary-school Arabic teachers frequently report low student involvement, limited vocabulary growth, and weak listening comprehension when instruction relies mainly on lectures. To address these issues, the present study tested whether instructional games created with the Construct 2 engine could improve vocabulary and listening skills among junior-high learners. Adopting a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control-group pretest-posttest design, the research arranged participants into three sections: an experimental group taught with Construct 2 games, a positive control group receiving enriched traditional lessons, and a negative control group exposed solely to lecture delivery. ANCOVA analysis uncovered a statistically significant group effect, F(2, 26) = 65.14, p = .021, accompanied by a large η² = 0.95. Follow-up post hoc comparisons showed that the experimental group (M = 75.6) outpaced both control sections (M = 68.9 and M = 67.2, p < .001). Overall, results indicate that game-based learning can reliably enhance receptive language abilities and warrants further adoption in Arabic classrooms. These findings speak directly to how teachers and administrators might structure courses and introduce new techniques, especially where money and materials are scarce.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms and analyze the causes of linguistic impoliteness in Taufiq al-Hakim’s drama Majlisu al-‘Adli by applying Jonathan Culpeper’s theory of linguistic impoliteness. It addresses the lack of research on impoliteness in Arabic drama texts, particularly regarding its causes, and demonstrates how linguistic impoliteness reflects power abuse in Arabic literary works. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting data through a reading and note-taking technique on dialogues that contain impolite expressions. The findings show that The Judge’s impoliteness manifests in face attacks, intentional strategies, hearer perceptions, and communicative tactics such as sarcasm and legal manipulation. The primary cause of this impoliteness lies in the abuse of power, as The Judge exploits his authority to defend certain parties and dismiss justice. This study also suggests that further research is needed on the relationship between linguistic impoliteness and humor in dramatic texts as a form of social critique.
