Abstract

This study is motivated by challenges in learning Arabic speaking skills (Maharah al-Kalam), such as less interactive teaching methods, limited learning media, and low student motivation. Along with the development of technology, the utilization of digital platforms such as Canva is considered an innovative solution to improve speaking skills in Arabic. This study aims to analyze the role of Canva in the development of Maharah al-Kalam through a literature review of various previous studies. The method used is a literature review by examining various studies that discuss the effectiveness of Canva in Arabic language learning. The results showed that Canva can be an interesting and interactive learning media, helping students to enrich their vocabulary, increase their confidence, and improve their pronunciation in speaking Arabic. In addition, Canva can be applied in flipped classroom-based learning models and other technology-based approaches to strengthen students' learning experience. The contribution of this study is to provide insights into effective strategies in utilizing Canva to improve Arabic speaking skills as well as highlighting the challenges in its implementation. The implication of this study shows that the integration of Canva in Arabic language learning can be a strategic step for educators in developing technology-based learning methods that are more interactive and communicative.

Abstract

The activities play a significant role in teaching the Arabic language. They increase enthusiasm for learning, reduce boredom, and help develop language skills. This study aims to explore the role of activities in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. The research adopted a descriptive methodology by distributing questionnaires to Arabic language teachers in Brunei's Arabic schools who participated in training courses held at the Teachers’ Training Institute for Religious Education in Bandar Seri Begawan (KUPUSB). One of the researchers participated in these courses as a trainer. The study found that the general use of activities in teaching Arabic is limited or rare, with an average of 2.0. Training students in activities was found to be very rare, with an overall average of 1.55. Teachers seldom train their students in activities such as Arabic cooking at school, debates, school radio programs, songs and chants, group speaking, plays and performances, or public speaking. The general attention to educational activities is minimal, with an average of 1.82. This explains the overall weakness in Arabic language skills, particularly speaking skills. This research highlights the importance of integrating activities into teaching Arabic, emphasizing the need to adopt active learning methods in teaching Arabic as a second language. It also encourages students to interact with the Arabic language through research, listening, reading, writing, and speaking, whether inside or outside the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the problems faced by Grade IX-C students of SMP IT Al-Hijrah Medan in translating Arabic texts into Indonesian, as well as to formulate appropriate alternative solutions to address these issues and potentially improve the students’ translation skills. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation of students’ translation test results. The findings indicate that the problems encountered by students fall into two categories: linguistic and non-linguistic problems. In terms of linguistic aspects, students struggle with limited understanding of Arabic grammar structures, unfamiliarity with reading Arabic texts, a lack of vocabulary mastery, and a tendency to translate texts literally. Meanwhile, the non-linguistic issues include low motivation and interest among students, lack of variety in teaching methods, insufficient practice time, limited learning media, and students’ educational backgrounds. Moreover, the alternative solutions proposed by the researcher as a contingency plan to address these issues include the development of contextual and interactive learning models, the enhancement of teacher competencies alongside the implementation of well-structured instructional strategies, and the gradual habituation of students to text reading and analysis.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study to analyze the accuracy of the meaning of i'rab and its types from the Jurumiyah Book using Meta AI. This method involves collecting data from various literature and written sources to understand the accuracy and suitability of the translation by Meta AI. Data collection is carried out by observation and documentation, then with accuracy and data analysis to obtain in-depth knowledge about the use of technological advances in learning, especially Arabic language learning. Based on this study, it is concluded that although the approach is different from the Jurumiyah Book, Meta AI can provide the meaning of the rules of nahwu i'rab science flexibly, precisely and easily understood. Meta AI which is designed in a modern way provides a more descriptive picture and is accompanied by examples that are increasingly easy to understand. While the Jurumiyah Book is more formal and concise. Both sources agree on the basic principles of Arabic grammar. Thus, Meta AI can be used as one of the reference sources in learning, especially for learners who want more practical, concise and easy-to-understand information.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the Talkhis Magza strategy in teaching listening skills (maharah istima’) to seventh-grade students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Swasta Isma’iliyah Aek Loba, Asahan Regency. Talkhis Magza is a learning strategy that emphasizes contextual understanding through listening to audio texts and answering comprehension questions based on interrogative words in Arabic. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a field study approach, collecting data through observations, interviews, and documentation. For the results show that this strategy enhances students' ability to comprehend spoken Arabic discourse, increases their concentration and critical thinking skills, and creates a more engaging and interactive learning environment. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary, varying student abilities, and time constraints in lessons serve as inhibiting factors that need attention. And overall, the Talkhis Magza strategy is considered effective in improving students’ listening skills, particularly when supported by adequate learning media and well-structured lesson planning.

Abstract

Nahwu learning (Arabic grammar) is one of the most crucial aspects of Arabic language education, especially in the pesantren (Islamic boarding school) environment. The study of Qowaid Nahwu is a fundamental component in understanding Arabic grammar, particularly in reading Kutub At-Turats within pesantren. To this day, the study of Kutub At-Turats remains the primary source of learning in pesantren and is regarded as essential religious knowledge that must be studied and practiced. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the Nahwu Al-Wadhih book in teaching Qowaid Nahwu at Pondok Pesantren Al-Mashduqiah and its effectiveness in enhancing proficiency in reading Kutub At-Turats. Pondok Pesantren Al-Mashduqiah is a modern Islamic boarding school that uses Nahwu Al-Wadhih as its primary instructional material for Qowaid Nahwu. The research employs a qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The findings indicate that the use of Nahwu Al-Wadhih, which adopts the inductive method (Al-Istiqrâ’iyyah), effectively helps students comprehend grammatical rules systematically. This method is particularly beneficial for beginner Arabic learners as it encourages them to construct their own sentences rather than merely memorizing theoretical concepts. Furthermore, this approach enhances syntactic analysis skills, enabling students to read and understand Kutub At-Turats more proficiently. Thus, the implementation of Nahwu Al-Wadhih has proven effective in improving Arabic text-reading skills within the pesantren environment.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges and strategies of teaching Arabic in Raudhatul Athfal Harapan Bunda, an Islamic early childhood education institution in Indonesia. Despite Arabic’s religious significance, young learners face difficulties due to its complex script, limited exposure, and reliance on traditional methods like rote memorization. Additionally, systemic barriers-such as teachers’ low Arabic proficiency (70% lack formal training), scarce interactive resources (65% of schools lack multimedia tools), and minimal parental involvement (only 40% support home practice)—hinder effective instruction. The research aims to: 1) analyze current Arabic teaching strategies, 2) evaluate their alignment with child-centered pedagogies, and 3) propose evidence-based improvements. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal that multisensory methods (e.g., vocabulary songs, TPR for body parts) and interactive media (e.g., flashcards, apps) enhance engagement, corroborating theories like play-based learning, and multimedia learning. However, teacher training gaps and resource shortages limit efficacy. The study concludes by advocating for phonetics-focused teacher workshops, low-cost digital tools, and parental engagement programs to optimize Arabic acquisition.
