Abstract

Arabic morphology is a crucial yet challenging component of Islamic education due to its structural complexity and conventional teaching methods. This study examines the integration of Genially-based digital quizzes within a deep learning framework to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and engagement in learning Morphology. Using a qualitative intrinsic case study, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and digital documentation involving forty female students and one teacher at Persatuan Islam Putri Bangil Islamic Boarding School in Indonesia. Thematic analysis identified five significant learning dimensions: joyfulness, engagement, independent learning, spiritual meaning, and conceptual understanding. The findings show that Genially-based quizzes foster active participation, intrinsic motivation, and reflective thinking, shifting learners from rote memorization toward a meaningful comprehension of morphological patterns. Integrating Qur’anic verses and moral reflection within the quizzes deepened spiritual awareness, resonating with the Islamic educational philosophy of ta’dib, which harmonizes knowledge, ethics, and spirituality. The approach demonstrates that deep learning pedagogy, supported by interactive digital tools, promotes cognitive mastery, affective engagement, and moral growth simultaneously. This model contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by encouraging inclusive, reflective, and lifelong learning in Islamic education. Despite infrastructural and literacy challenges, the study highlights Genially’s potential as a transformative pedagogical medium that bridges traditional and digital paradigms, advancing Arabic language instruction toward a more holistic, joyful, and spiritually grounded learning experience suitable for the Society 5.0 era.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the forms of Egyptian state intervention in the religious institution of Al-Azhar, as represented in the film Boy from Heaven. The film portrays the state intelligence apparatus's involvement in the process of electing the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar as part of a political project aimed at controlling religious legitimacy. This study uses Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach, which includes three dimensions: text, discursive practice, and socio-cultural practice. The results of the study found eight forms of intervention, including the production of dominant narratives, recruitment of informants, coalitions with extremist groups, intimidation, threats, legitimating narratives through murder, periodic monitoring, delegitimation politics, and arrests of candidates. These representations show the state's authoritarianism to obtain political interests and how language and narrative are used as tools of hegemony. These findings reflect the dynamics of political-religious relations in Egypt and expand the application of the critical discourse approach in studying language through fictional media.

Abstract

The research of translating metaphors in poetry holds significance in academia due to its consideration of the resemblances between the source and target languages in poetry translation, encompassing not just semantic meaning but also formal structure. This study is descriptive-qualitative research that aims to categorize the metaphorical expressions within the "Janāzatu Imra'atin" poem authored by Adonis and its translation by Faza Binal Alim, while also delving into their respective meanings. Moreover, this research examines the strategies utilized by the translator to convey metaphors for the target language. The theoretical framework adopted in this research is based on the concept of metaphor and its translation processes as proposed by Newmark. The data of this research totaled 29 data taken using purposive sampling technique. The result of this research shows that the type of metaphor in Janāzatu Imra'atin poem is original metaphor. These metaphors are specifically created by the author to describe the message he wants to convey. The metaphor translation procedures found in this research are 1) translation of metaphor into metaphor with the same image and meaning; this procedure is used in the data by 83%, 2) translation of metaphor into the same metaphor in the target language, combined with the meaning, or given additional information; this procedure is used in the data by 14% 3) a combination of translating metaphor with metaphor, but some words are deleted or not translated; this procedure is used in the data by 3%. The results show that translators try to translate metaphors as accurately as possible, so most metaphor forms and meanings are translated into the same form in the target language. Future research is expected to further connect the aspects of translation, culture, and Arabic language, to enrich the field of Arabic language studies.

Abstract

The mastery of Arabic mahārah kalām (speaking skills) remains one of the most challenging aspects of foreign language pedagogy, especially in non-Arabic speaking contexts where learners often possess adequate knowledge of vocabulary and grammar but struggle with fluency, confidence, and spontaneous oral performance. This study introduces and evaluates the Qum Takallam method, a pedagogical approach that requires students to “stand up and speak” in Arabic for ten minutes on a chosen or spontaneous topic. Conducted at Darullughah Wadda’wah Boarding School in Pasuruan, Indonesia, the research employed a mixed-methods design involving 30 intermediate-level male students. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests of oral expression, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using paired sample t-tests and thematic analysis. The quantitative results demonstrated significant improvements across fluency, vocabulary, and confidence, with large effect sizes, while accuracy improved more modestly. Qualitative findings revealed that the method reduced anxiety, fostered autonomy, and encouraged peer learning, although some students continued to struggle with coherence and persistent grammatical errors. These outcomes align with previous research on communicative and experiential learning yet extend the discussion by situating spontaneous stand-up speaking within Arabic pedagogy. Overall, the Qum Takallam method provides a simple, low-cost, and sustainable strategy for integrating structured oral practice into Arabic curricula. By balancing linguistic creativity with communicative competence, it contributes to developing confident and expressive Arabic speakers, while highlighting the need to complement fluency-focused approaches with explicit grammar instruction.

Abstract

This study explores the adaptation of Madurese local culture in the translation of Tarbiyatus Shibyan by K.H. Muhammad Habibullah Ra’is, specifically focusing on the chapter Adab al-Ta‘allum (Ethics of Students in Seeking Knowledge). The research addresses the limited scholarly attention to how regional languages, particularly Madurese, serve as cultural mediators in translating classical Islamic texts used in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools). This gap highlights the need to understand translation not only as linguistic transfer but also as a process of cultural and educational transmission. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study applies content analysis to examine the Arabic source text and its Madurese translation. The findings reveal that the translation process adopts a communicative and contextual approach that reflects the integration of Islamic educational values with Madurese cultural expressions. The use of local idioms and moral expressions effectively strengthens students’ ethical awareness, respect, and spiritual responsibility. Moreover, the translation demonstrates that local languages function as cultural bridges in sustaining religious education and preserving local wisdom within the Islamic boarding schools tradition.

Abstract

Arabic language learning occupies a strategic position in education but still faces complex challenges, particularly the dominance of teacher-centered learning methods. Discovery learning emerges as a solution by encouraging students to become more active through independent inquiry, integrating the four language skills, and promoting a student-centered learning approach. This study employs a mixed-method design with an explanatory sequential approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and tests. Qualitative data were analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, while quantitative data were analyzed using normality testing, N-Gain, and hypothesis testing. The findings reveal that before implementing discovery learning, students experienced difficulties understanding Arabic, teachers did not prepare written lesson plans, and evaluation focused mainly on grammar, translation, and vocabulary. After implementation, learning shifted to a student-centered model where students became more active and engaged. The application of discovery learning also enhanced conceptual understanding, learner autonomy, and academic achievement. This improvement was demonstrated by a significant difference between the pre-test mean score of 36.5 and the post-test mean score of 82.8, with hypothesis testing results of 0.000 < 0.05. Therefore, the implementation of discovery learning has a positive and significant impact on Arabic language learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational comparative design to analyze the relationship between students’ age and Arabic language learning outcomes and to identify factors influencing age differences in Arabic language learning at Sekolah Indonesia Makkah. From a total population of 77 students, a sample of 20 students was selected using purposive sampling based on specific research criteria, particularly students who had complete academic records and were enrolled in heterogeneous classes with noticeable age variation. Data were collected through report card documentation and questionnaires measuring learning readiness, motivation, learning environment, and parental support. Considering the relatively small sample size, non-parametric statistical techniques were applied to ensure the robustness of the analysis. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test, independent sample tests, and multiple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The findings indicate that student age has no significant relationship with Arabic learning outcomes (correlation value = 0.012; sig. = 0.959 > 0.05). Similarly, the independent sample test shows no significant differences in learning outcomes among different age groups (sig. = 0.791 > 0.05). These results suggest that age differences do not significantly influence students’ Arabic learning outcomes, indicating that age is not a primary factor determining students’ success in heterogeneous classes. Instead, learning motivation particularly intrinsic motivation plays a crucial role in encouraging students to achieve optimal learning outcomes. Therefore, efforts to improve students’ achievement should focus on strengthening intrinsic motivation.

Abstract

Studies on language and gender describe females as more polite, indirect, and cooperative, while males are portrayed as more assertive. However, these generalizations do not fully reflect the complexity of language use in the Arab digital context, as Arabic language use remains deeply embedded in gender-based social structures, including politeness. Podcasts, as an emerging digital medium, offer a more open space where guests may negotiate or even shift these expectations. This study raises an important question: do gendered politeness patterns in podcasts indicate a shift from traditional stereotypes, or continue to reflect established norms? This study examines two Finjān podcast episodes by (1) identifying the politeness strategies employed by male and female guests when expressing opinions and (2) examining the patterns and trends in its use. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the data were collected through Simak method and analyzed using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) framework. Findings reveal that both guests employed all four strategies: bald on record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off record, but with varying frequencies. Positive politeness was the most used by guests, reflecting the importance of solidarity and interpersonal closeness in discussions on parenting. The female guest consistently employed a combination of positive and negative politeness to maintain conversational harmony, while male guests, in addition to positive politeness, also employed off record strategies, including metaphors and illustrative examples, to reduce face threats. These tendencies suggest a subtle reshaping of gendered norms in digital interaction, while still reflecting broader social expectations.
