Abstract

Arabic lessons in madrasah classrooms still lean on tasks that ask students to remember and repeat. The national curriculum expects more: it wants higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) built into daily instruction. Materials that actually push students to analyse, evaluate, and create remain hard to find, and so does digital media built for that purpose. This study tests one such medium, an Android-based Arabic learning application called At-Tafkir Al-Aliy, with seventh-grade students at MTsN 2 Kendal. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was used, involving 72 students from two intact classes. What the study suggests is narrower than a general claim that technology works. Whether a mobile application lifts higher-order performance in Arabic seems to depend far more on how deliberately HOTS tasks are designed into it than on the novelty of the device itself, and any gains have to be read against ordinary classroom conditions and the fact that the two groups were not formed at random.

Abstract

Rapid advances in communication technology during globalization have made bilingualism and multilingualism increasingly common, and Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are no exception, because Arabic serves as the primary language of daily communication alongside Indonesian and regional languages. This study therefore examines the patterns and practices of language use among students, as well as the forms, nonverbal elements, and underlying factors of code-switching and code-mixing in Arabic communication within a pesantren. A qualitative, descriptive phenomenological design was employed, with data gathered through passive participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving four ustadzah and four santri. The study contributes to sociolinguistic research by showing that code-switching and code-mixing serve as deliberate communicative and pedagogical resources in a multilingual pesantren, with implications for language policy and for the teaching of Arabic in Islamic educational settings.
