Abstract

Background: First-semester students in the Arabic Language Education program often struggle with pronouncing complex Arabic phonemes in the al-Ashwat wa al-Lahjat course. Aims: This study aims to identify the phonemes that pose pronunciation difficulties, examine the effectiveness of song-based media in enhancing students' phonetic accuracy, and explore students' perceptions of using songs in learning. Methods: A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving 35 first-semester students from Class C of the Arabic Language Education Program at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. Data were collected through participant observation and focus group discussions (FGDs). Results: The findings revealed that integrating song media, including hijaiyyah letter songs to identify problematic phonemes and Asmaul Husna songs to facilitate pronunciation practice, significantly enhances students' phonetic articulation. The most challenging phonemes identified were ع ('ain), ص (shad), ض (dhad), غ (ghin), ظ (dhadz), خ (kha), ث (tsa), ح (ha), ق (qaf), ش (shin), and ط (tha). Furthermore, song-based learning fosters an engaging and enjoyable learning environment, enhances motivation, and promotes collaborative learning. Implications:  These findings indicate that song media can be an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing Arabic phonetic instruction by improving students’ pronunciation accuracy, fostering engagement, and creating a more interactive and enjoyable learning environment.

Abstract

Background: Arabic language education has undergone significant development from the classical period to the modern era, where various traditional methods and learning philosophies were applied to strengthen language understanding and Islamic values. However, in the era of globalization, innovative approaches are needed to address the needs of the current generation who tend to be more dynamic and familiar with digital technology. Aims: This research aims to analyze the historical traces of Arabic language education to identify effective learning elements in the past and evaluate their potential adaptation in modern learning design. Methods: This research used a literature study-based qualitative approach with a narrative systematic review type to find methods such as halaqah, muhadatsah (dialogue), and memorization-based approaches that remain relevant but require integration with modern technology, such as digital applications and online learning platforms. Results: The findings showed that combining historical elements with technological innovations can create learning methods, models, and media that not only retain the depth of language and cultural understanding but also attract younger generations. Thus, learning designs that combine traditional and innovative aspects are expected to increase the effectiveness of Arabic language learning in the era of globalization and expand its accessibility. Implications: The results of this study can serve as a reference for educational institutions and curriculum developers in designing Arabic learning approaches that are more adaptive and effective in the present.

Abstract

Background: A character's personality shapes a compelling and high-quality novel. It not only drives the storyline and deep insights into human nature, emotions, and experiences, allowing readers to connect with the narrative on a profound level. Aims: This research examines the significance of the characters' personality traits in Khairani Hasan's novel "Garis Luka." Methods: This study is qualitative and descriptive. Hermeneutic techniques were employed to gather data, which was subsequently analyzed using Sigmund Freud's theories on character personalities (1901). Results: The research findings indicated that the aspects of a character's personality associated with the id (pleasure principle), ego (the conscious part of the personality that mediates between the id and reality), and superego played a significant role in novels. In this novel, the elements of the character's personality are well depicted, with 115 data points identified from the research. The character's personality was tied to the id in 61 instances, the ego in 36 instances, and the superego in 18 instances. Implications: This research can serve as a resource for developing more varied, creative, and innovative literary learning materials and enhance knowledge about novel psychoanalysis.

Abstract

Background: The information supplied by a victim of sexual violence during an investigative interview frequently serves as the sole foundation for investigators in processing a sexual violence case. Nonetheless, the investigative interview process often lacks professionalism due to efforts to impose the investigator’s personal assumptions. Aims: This research is a forensic language analysis intended to uncover the assumptions held by an investigator during an investigative interview with a child victim of sexual violence. Methods: This study utilized qualitative data obtained from the investigative interview between an investigator and a child victim of sexual violence at a police station in Cilacap. Conversation data were collected using listening and note-taking techniques. The statistics were subsequently verified with the investigator to validate their legitimacy. This study employs the dialogic speech act theory technique proposed by Weigand (2010) to elucidate the assumptions held by the researcher. Results: The findings of this study suggested that the investigator attempted to impose her personal assumptions on the victim through numerous exploratory speech acts designed to validate, offer options, and direct the victim’s responses. Implications: The findings of this study may serve as a reference in assessing the specifics of inquiries within the Standard Operational Procedure on Examination and questioning techniques during the investigative interview procedure.

Abstract

Background: The phenomenon of code mixing at Student Entrepreneur Islamic Boarding School of Nurul Islam 2 (PPME Nuris 2), especially in the AIQ program in which students are required to speak Arabic although they have not mastered all the vocabularies yet, so that the mixing code between Arabic and regional languages, including Javanese or Madurese, influences the dialect of every University student of this program. Aims: This research is expected to answer the questions about what influences the appearance of code mixing and dialectology, the process of forming code mixing and dialectology, and the influence of dialectology and code mixing on students. Methods: This research used a qualitative approach with a case study as its research type. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and triangulation around the Student Entrepreneur Islamic Boarding School of Nuris 2 using participatory observation, guided interviews, data triangulation, and sources. Results: This study revealed that the emergence of code-mixing and dialectology among students is influenced by internal and external factors, including their environment and personal experiences. This process is shaped by the diverse regional backgrounds of the students, their social interactions, and academic demands. Dialectology and code-mixing contribute positively to students' Arabic-speaking proficiency, as code-mixing is part of language acquisition, helping students develop confidence in speaking a second language fluently and accurately. However, it also challenges Arabic grammar, as excessive code-mixing can disrupt linguistic structures, making the language appear less formal and potentially hindering proper learning. Implications: This study makes significant contributions to socio-linguistic and ecolinguistic studies, especially regarding how social interactions and environmental factors influence the students’ use of Arabic. It deepens understanding of social dynamics that influence language, such as code-mixing usage in multilingual conversation.

Abstract

Background: The 'Ammiyah language is a variation of Arabic used in informal communication and daily conversations in Egypt, in contrast to Standard Arabic, which is employed in formal and academic contexts. New students encounter various challenges when entering university life, making the adaptation process more difficult. Aims: This study aims to analyze the challenges faced by new Indonesian students in acquiring the 'Ammiyah language in Egypt. Methods: This research employs a case study method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten new Indonesian students in Egypt. Results: The findings indicate that new students experience several difficulties in acquiring the 'Ammiyah language, including (1) dialectal differences between Egyptian 'Ammiyah and the previously learned Standard Arabic (Fushah), (2) difficulties in understanding informal vocabulary and expressions in 'Ammiyah, and (3) psychological barriers that hinder their adaptation to using 'Ammiyah in a new environment. Implications: The results of this study are expected to provide insights for educational institutions in designing more effective 'Ammiyah language learning programs for foreign students in Egypt, as well as assist students in overcoming challenges related to acquiring the 'Ammiyah language in a new environment.
