Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of the mimicry memorization method in teaching Arabic vocabulary, analyze its implementation based on its inherent characteristics, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of this method in the context of Arabic vocabulary learning among fifth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Takhassus Darul ʿUlum Ngaliyan, Semarang. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through fieldwork, the research utilized data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal that the mimicry memorization method at MI Takhassus Darul ʿUlum involves processes of listening, pronouncing, imitating, and memorizing vocabulary. Its strengths include direct skill acquisition by students, accurate and proper pronunciation, ease and enthusiasm in memorizing vocabulary, improved understanding of vocabulary material, increased student engagement, and enhanced recall of vocabulary. The weaknesses identified are limited learning time during memorization, reduced student attention to the teacher’s pronunciation in noisy classroom settings, and a lack of diverse media resources.

Abstract

Technological advancements have become vital in enhancing Arabic language education, particularly in assessing Arabic morphology learning at the Pondok Pesantren Daarun Najaah, where traditional methods lack innovation. This study develops "Kuis Shorof," an Android-based interactive assessment tool, driven by a needs analysis revealing the demand for digital media to improve student comprehension. Designed using Android Studio, the application includes 125 questions (35 multiple-choice, 35 true/false, 30 matching, 25 arranging) sourced from the Naẓm al-Maqṣūd textbook, featuring a user interface with cover pages, instructions, and results. Validation yielded a validity of 0.67 and reliability of 0.72, with questions rated "good" and "easy/medium," supported by expert evaluations (87% media, 95% content). Tested on 5 then 25 students, it achieved ratings of 83.73% and 88.64% ("very good"), with scores rising from 74.6 to 84.3 (13%) at statistical significance (t = -7.580, p < 0.05) and time efficiency (grading reduced to 5 minutes). Despite its benefits (interactivity, accessibility), limitations such as the absence of immediate feedback and a faulty back button necessitate improvements. Future enhancements, including AI integration, could broaden its educational impact.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of the textbook "Belajar Bahasa Arab secara Tepat" in teaching Arabic to third-grade students at Binnur High School, Sulang, Rembang, and to identify its strengths and weaknesses. Employing a qualitative descriptive field approach, the researcher collected data through observation of teaching processes, interviews with students and teachers, analysis of curriculum documents and the textbook, and a questionnaire involving 20 students. Data analysis involved reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that the textbook supports the acquisition of language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) within 2-2.5 years, with a 95% student satisfaction rate. Its strengths include a systematic structure and practical exercises, while limitations include reliance on teacher explanations and limited alignment (20%) with the national curriculum (KMA 183/2019). The findings suggest the textbook’s potential for effective Arabic instruction in pesantren contexts, though adaptations are needed to enhance alignment and support diverse learners. Further research is recommended to test generalizability across other institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the bandongan method, utilizing Pegon Arabic translation, on students’ ability to translate mubtada’-khabar structures in medieval Islamic texts. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research involved 26 students from the class of 3B of the Arabic Language Education Study Program at Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang. We collected data using questionnaires, tests, and observations. The questionnaire assessed experience and methods, while the test evaluated translation skills. Results indicate that 100% of students have Yellow Book (classical Islamic texts) experience, with 61,5% using bandongan, and 75% achieving high translation scores. However, 69,2% reported recitation difficulties, and 36,4% erred in identifying mubtada’-khabar. These findings suggest bandongan supports initial skills but may be limited by syntactic and non-linguistic challenges, such as Pegon adaptation for non-Javanese students. The study concludes that integrating bandongan with structured syntactic training could enhance outcomes, though further research with larger samples is recommended.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges encountered in learning mahārat al-istimāʿ (listening skills) through using YouTube as a supplementary learning tool. Employing a quantitative approach with a survey design, the research gathered data on students’ experiences and perceptions regarding the integration of YouTube in Arabic listening instruction. The findings indicate several obstacles, such as rapid native speech, unclear dialogues, unfamiliar vocabulary, auditory processing difficulties, limited comprehension, and reduced concentration. The study also highlights the psychological effects and motivational responses associated with using this platform. Despite these challenges, YouTube demonstrates significant potential as a rich and accessible resource for enhancing listening skills. The study recommends improving content accessibility, applying stricter content selection, and integrating guided learning strategies to support a more effective and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

Non-test assessment is an evaluation method that focuses on students’ processes and performance in real contexts without relying on written examinations. This study aims to analyze the implementation of non-test assessment in the mahārah kalām (speaking skills) course at three higher education institutions: STAI Masjid Syuhada (STAIMS), Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY), and UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta (UIN Suka). Employing a multi-site case study with a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory classroom observations, and analysis of assessment documents and student outputs. The findings reveal diverse strategies tailored to each institution’s characteristics. STAIMS applies a project-based assessment by producing Arabic-language vlogs to enhance communication, creativity, and digital literacy. UMY adopts a process-based approach through simulations and role-play, enabling gradual skill development with direct feedback. UIN Suka relies on intensive muḥādathah and khiṭābah minbarīyah practices to refine fluency and formal rhetoric. All three models are grounded in authentic and performance-based assessment principles, evaluating competence contextually, applicatively, and holistically. This study underscores that diverse approaches can complement one another in developing Arabic speaking proficiency, offering comparative insights into locally adapted pedagogical innovations aligned with learners’ needs and learning contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the design and impact of the integration of Arabic language curricula between the salaf and khalaf pesantren approaches in the Arabic Language Program at Madrasah I’dadiyah Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Sukorejo Situbondo. This integration is carried out in response to the challenges of contemporary Arabic education, which requires mastery of classical texts as well as modern communication skills. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving the curriculum, teachers, students, and institutional management. The results of the study indicate that the integrative curriculum successfully combines the strengths of the salaf pesantren—which emphasizes the understanding of classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning)—with the advantages of the khalaf pesantren, which focuses on communicative competence. The pedagogical approaches employed include the sorogan, bandongan, hiwar, muhadatsah, and qirā’ah methods, all of which have proven effective in enhancing students’ abilities in both understanding Islamic texts and actively using the Arabic language. Substantively, this curriculum has produced graduates who are adaptive, communicative, and ready to compete in both academic and global arenas. This research provides both conceptual and practical contributions to the development of a contextual and sustainable pesantren-based Arabic language curriculum.

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, education increasingly demands innovative pedagogical approaches that not only enhance language proficiency but also cultivate students’ critical thinking skills. This study explores how Kahoot gamification supports the development of critical thinking in Arabic listening comprehension. The research employed a qualitative approach with a single instrumental case study design to examine the integration of Kahoot-based learning activities and their cognitive outcomes. Data were collected through participant observation, documentation, and interviews involving 39 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Sharia, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, class of 2024. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman to identify indicators of critical thinking based on Facione’s six dimensions: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. The findings revealed that Kahoot gamification was implemented through four learning activities: song playback, simple dialogue, short film, and short story. Each activity stimulated distinct aspects of critical thinking, with song and short film activities generating the most active responses. The study suggests that Kahoot gamification may serve as an effective pedagogical tool to foster engagement and higher-order thinking in Arabic listening instruction, particularly for beginner-level learners.

Abstract

This research aims to identify and collect synonyms in religious news about Hajj published in BBC Arabic online media. The method used is a descriptive qualitative, focusing on lexical cohesion analysis involving synonyms. The primary purpose of this research is to understand the variation of synonym usage in the context of religious news about Hajj and to classify the types of synonyms found. Data for this research was collected through documentation, using sources from news published by BBC Arabic. The research results indicate that 14 synonyms were found in the news. These synonyms can be classified into several types, including similar synonyms (Shibhu al-tarāduf), semantic relationship types (Al-taqārub al-dalālī), implication types (Istilzām), paraphrase types), and interpretation. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of the use of synonyms in the context of religious news about Hajj. It shows the richness of the Arabic language in conveying information on the topic. This research has important implications in linguistics, especially in understanding how synonyms are used in specific religious news contexts. This research also significantly contributes to the development of text analysis methodology and Arabic language research in general libraries.
