Abstract

This study investigates cognitive load and rule acquisition in sharaf (Arabic morphology) learning, with particular attention to the role of working memory among third-semester students of the Arabic Language Education Program at IAIN Kerinci. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 students and participatory observation in sharaf classes. Thematic analysis revealed four primary challenges: (1) the linguistic complexity and irregularity of morphological patterns that burden memory, (2) limited working memory capacity that constrains the recall and application of rules, (3) pedagogical gaps caused by lecture-dominated methods with minimal student engagement, and (4) differences in students’ educational backgrounds that affect comprehension. The study further identified effective strategies for reducing cognitive load, including material simplification with visual aids, structured and contextual repetition, task-based learning, and metacognitive training. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive teaching approaches aligned with students’ cognitive capacities to enhance Arabic language instruction.

Abstract

Arabic language learning in modern Islamic boarding schools focuses on memorization and repetition, while the communicative and linguistic dimensions have not been optimally integrated. Therefore, it is necessary to design a development model that combines academic learning activities in the classroom with communicative and contextual language practices. This study aims to describe and analyze the method of developing Arabic language learning activities through the All in One System approach at Ar-Raudhatul Hasanah Islamic Boarding School. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and document analysis. Data analysis was carried out through the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, technical triangulation, and member checking. The findings of this study revealed three models of Arabic language learning development: Mufradāt learning developed using the ADDIE model, emphasizing systematic planning and continuous evaluation; grammar learning developed through the ASSURE model, which focuses on learner characteristics and active participation; and and language skills learning (istimā‘, muḥādathah, qirā’ah, and kitābah) are developed through the CTL (Contextual Teaching and Learning) model, which emphasizes experience-based learning. This study concludes that the All in One System has created a dynamic and participatory Arabic language learning ecosystem, positioning language as a living practice shaped by social and cultural interactions.

Abstract

This study addresses low motivation and mastery in Arabic vocabulary at MTs Tarbiyah Islamiyah Batang Kabung, where traditional rote memorization methods prevail. It investigates the singing method's impact, aiming to: 1) measure its effect on vocabulary mastery, 2) analyze its influence on motivation, and 3) evaluate its practical implementation. Employing a qualitative case study, data was gathered through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the singing method significantly enhanced vocabulary recall, retention, and pronunciation, particularly for verbs (fi’il), by acting as a powerful mnemonic device. It dramatically increased student motivation by lowering anxiety and creating an engaging, culturally resonant learning environment that aligns with local Minang traditions. Implementation was feasible and effective, reliant on teacher creativity to adapt songs to the curriculum. This study provides a novel, thick qualitative analysis of the method's application in a pesantren-based MTs, highlighting its utility for teaching grammatical structures and its profound affective benefits.

Abstract

This research reveals the phenomenon of al-haal in the book Al-Ghuluwwu wa Atsaruhu fi al-Irhab wa Ifsad al-Mujtama' by Muhammad bin Alawi al-Maliki al-Hasani. This book is very important in correcting deviant ideas about doctrine and the like. The theory of al-haal is used to reveal the Arabic texts in that book, because al-haal plays an important role in revealing the text deeply and throughly, no matter how insignificant it may be in speech, but its role is significant and enormous. This research is qualitative, and the analysis used is descriptive analysis. The method of data collection is listening, reading, and note-taking, and the other method is the purposive sampling method. All of these methods are used to perform the analysis of this research. The results of this research are as follows: (1) There are 15 examples of the al-haal of isim dhohir; there are 5 examples of the al-haal of jumlah; the researcher didn’t find the al-haal of syibhul jumlah (adverb or prepositional phrase); (2) The al-haal of isim dhohir consists of 6 examples of washfun nakiroh and 9 examples of mashdar nakiroh; the case of jumlah consists of 5 examples of jumlah fi’liyyah; (3) The researcher finds three examples of al-haal al-muta’addidah, that phenomenon exists in Arabic texts and it’s permitted by grammarians. (4) The researcher also finds one example of ‘amil al-haal al-mahzufah, due to the presence of al-haal that confirms the meaning of sentence. (5) During the analysis process, the researcher also finds the ‘amil al-haal from ma’na al-fi’il and its type which is isim isyaroh, and there is one example. The researcher analyzes all of these in a purposive sampling method.

Abstract

Mastery of vocabulary (mufradat) is a fundamental foundation in learning the Arabic language. However, eleventh-grade students at SMA 3 Muhammadiyah Padang often encounter difficulties in memorizing and contextually using new vocabulary, resulting in low motivation and language competence. This study aims to investigate the application of demonstration and association techniques as an innovative solution to address this problem. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and document analysis. The results indicate that the implementation of the demonstration technique, where students physically enact the meaning of vocabulary, successfully created a concrete learning experience and facilitated understanding. Meanwhile, the association technique, which links new words to images, stories, or students' personal experiences, was effective in strengthening long-term memory. The combination of these two techniques not only significantly enhanced vocabulary retention but also fostered an active, creative, and enjoyable learning environment. Students became more confident and enthusiastic in using the learned vocabulary in simple sentences. It is concluded that the integration of demonstration and association techniques is a potential and effective strategy for improving the mastery of Arabic mufradat at the secondary school level.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of Arabic language learning in Indonesian pesantren, conceptualized as a multidimensional process involving curriculum reform, pedagogical innovation, teacher professional development, institutional adaptation, and digital integration. The study aims to analyze the role of government policies, teacher competence, and reform challenges in supporting educational transformation. A qualitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA framework was conducted. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in Scopus, Google Scholar, ERIC, and SINTA published between 2020 and 2025. Articles focusing on Arabic language learning, pesantren education, educational transformation, curriculum reform, and teacher competence were included, while conference proceedings, theses, dissertations, and irrelevant studies were excluded. Of 186 identified records, 42 articles met the eligibility criteria. The findings reveal that government policies have promoted curriculum flexibility, digitalization, and teacher professional development. However, transformation remains uneven, with larger and better-resourced pesantren demonstrating greater technological adaptation than smaller institutions. Major barriers include limited infrastructure, low digital literacy, and institutional resistance to change. This review is limited by the predominance of Indonesian-language publications and the scarcity of empirical field-based studies. The findings imply the need for equitable digital infrastructure, continuous teacher development, and context-sensitive policy implementation to support sustainable transformation in pesantren.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of structured question cards in improving the muhadatsah (Arabic speaking) skills of students in the Arabic Language Education Study Program at IAIN Parepare. The research was motivated by the limited fluency and coherence observed in students’ oral production, indicating the need for an instructional medium that provides systematic scaffolding. A quasi-experimental design employing a pre-test and post-test without a control group was used, involving 20 students as participants. In addition to oral tests, data were collected through classroom observations across four treatment sessions and interviews to examine supporting and inhibiting factors throughout the learning process. Results revealed a significant improvement in students’ speaking skills, with mean scores rising from 64.3 to 82.7, representing a 28.6% increase. A t-test value of 9.84, which exceeded the critical value at the 0.05 significance level, confirmed the significant impact of the media on muhadatsah development. The study also found that a supportive classroom environment, systematically designed cards, and collaborative practice served as major facilitating factors, whereas variations in initial ability and limited class time posed challenges. These findings suggest that structured question cards constitute an effective and practical instructional medium for enhancing learners’ oral communicative performance in Arabic language education.

Abstract

Arabic speaking instruction (maharah kalam) remains challenging due to the dominance of vocabulary memorization, grammatical mastery, and teachercentered learning with limited contextual relevance. This study examined Arabic language instruction at Aishwa Nahla Islamic Boarding School, analyzed the integration of Palembang local culture into maharah kalam learning, and evaluated its contribution to students’ Arabic competence. A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The study involved 26 eighthgrade students, while qualitative data also included one Arabic language teacher. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and pre-test–post-test assessments and analyzed using thematic analysis, paired-sample t-test, and N-Gain score. Findings revealed that integrating Palembang local culture fostered more communicative and contextualized learning. Students’ mean scores increased from 66.0 to 83.7 (p 0.05), with an N-Gain score of 52.39, indicating moderate effectiveness. The study suggests that local culture can serve as a meaningful pedagogical resource in Arabic-speaking instruction.

Abstract

This study addresses students’ difficulties in understanding Arabic sentence structures (tarkibul jumal), which are often perceived as abstract and difficult to learn through conventional teaching methods. These challenges result in low student engagement and limited mastery of Arabic grammar in classroom learning. Therefore, this study aims to improve students’ understanding of tarkibul jumal and enhance the quality of Arabic language instruction through the implementation of the Index Card Match strategy. The study employed Classroom Action Research based on the Stephen Kemmis and Robin McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles with Year 8 students at MTsN 1 Madiun during the 2025–2026 academic year. The Index Card Match strategy encouraged students to actively participate through matching question-and-answer cards, discussion, collaboration, and interactive learning activities. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes, with the mean score increasing from 6.03 in the first cycle to 8.79 in the second cycle, and all students achieving mastery learning by the end of the study. In conclusion, the Index Card Match strategy proved effective in improving students’ comprehension of Arabic sentence structures and creating a more active and enjoyable Arabic learning environment.
Arabic as an Instrument of Tajdid: Ahmad Dahlan's Reform of Language Education and Textual Authority in Early Muhammadiyah Syahrul Ramadhan; Mohsen Miri; Kusen Kusen; Muhammad Fawwaz Syafiq Rizqullah

Abstract

This article examines the thought of K.H. Ahmad Dahlan (1868–1923), founder of Muhammadiyah, on the position of Arabic as an instrument of Tajdid (renewal) in Islam and its implications for the shifting authority over Islamic texts in early twentieth-century Indonesia. At that time, interpretive authority over religious texts was concentrated among traditional ulama who mastered Arabic through sanad (chains of transmission) and oral inheritance, while lay Muslims depended entirely on their explanations. Using a qualitative library-research approach combined with historical-hermeneutical analysis and source triangulation, this study traces how Ahmad Dahlan separated Arabic into an independent subject within the Muhammadiyah educational system, promoted the principle of interpreting the Qur'an through the Qur'an itself, and integrated Arabic instruction with general sciences. The findings indicate that active mastery of Arabic, rather than mere memorization of letter sounds, functioned as an instrument for democratizing religious authority: shifting it from a closed model resting on taqlid and clerical mediation toward an open model enabling direct textual access and contextual ijtihad. The article concludes that Ahmad Dahlan's reform of Arabic-language pedagogy was not merely a pedagogical policy but an epistemological strategy positioning language as a bridge between revelation and reason within the project of progressive Islamic renewal.
