Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the methods, thoughts, and contributions of Al-Kisā'i in the development of Nahwu science, especially the Kufah madrasah. The method used in the research is a literature study. In contrast, the method used in data analysis is historical analysis, which is a study of a problem based on the context of the historical development of the study. In its development, Nahwu has passed through various discussions and given birth to its characteristics in each madrasa in Nahwu science. This development is inseparable from the thoughts of Nahwu figures who laid the foundations of the rules in Nahwu science. As one of the pioneers of the Kufah madrasah, Al-Kisā'i has several methods and thoughts that distinguish it from the madrasa that emerged earlier, namely the Basrah madrasah. The results showed that; Al-Kisā'i in developing his thoughts in the field of nahwu, namely by expanding the use of history, namely by opening the possibility of history from shi'ir, expanding the use of qiyas, namely by considering the importance of nahwu rules based on uncommon language rules, expanding the differences in principles developed by the Basrah school.

Abstract

This study examines how MTs Wachid Hasyim Surabaya, an inclusive school, apply William Francis Mackey's Four Aspects of Language Learning Theory to teach Arabic to special needs pupils in Grade 8. The study focuses on the application of phonetics, grammar, semantics, and graphology to improve students' learning of the Arabic language.  A qualitative approach is used to analyze teaching methods, learning materials, and student progress in inclusive classroom settings. Findings suggest that incorporating phonetic exercises helps students, particularly those with speech impairments, enhance their pronunciation. Grammar instruction is adapted to incorporate visual and interactive media, supporting students with ADHD and those who are slow learners. Semantic teaching is reinforced through contextual storytelling and role-playing, making it easier for students to grasp meaning. Graphology-based techniques can help children with learning disabilities improve their writing and reading skills. The study highlights the importance of multimodal and adaptive teaching methods in meeting a range of learning needs. This study provides suggestions for enhancing teaching strategies based on Mackey's framework and facilitates the development of inclusive Arabic language teaching models.

Abstract

This study aims to develop Arabic learning materials based on communicative approaches to enhance the 21st-century skills of students in Thailand. The research used the ADDIE model, which includes five steps: analyzing student needs, designing materials, developing content and media, implementing the materials in the classroom, and evaluating their effectiveness. Data were collected from students, teachers, and experts using questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. The results show that the materials significantly improved students' speaking confidence (78.4%) and listening comprehension (81.2%). Expert validation, teachers' and students' responses yielded a feasibility score of 84,3%, confirming the materials' content, language, and presentation quality. Additionally, the materials encouraged collaboration, critical thinking, and communication, essential components of modern education. This study offers practical contributions to Arabic language teaching by providing learning resources that are not only communicative but also aligned with 21st-century educational demands and student-centered learning principles.

Abstract

This article analyses the short story "Qismati dan Nasibi" by Najib Mahfuz to explore the narrative structure within the story using Tzvetan Todorov's structuralist semiotic approach. The study employs a descriptive-qualitative method, with data collected and classified through active reading techniques. The results of the active reading were then analysed using discourse analysis based on Todorov's structuralist semiotic approach. The findings reveal that Todorov's analysis of literary works consists of three main aspects: (1) the syntactic aspect, which focuses on the structural composition of the narrative; (2) the semantic aspect, which is divided into syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations that reveal meaning through textual connections; and (3) the verbal aspect, which includes narrative mode, tense, point of view, story type, and narrator. By analysing the textual elements, including words and sentences, that reflect these three aspects, the study identifies the fundamental structure that constructs the overall meaning of the work.

Abstract

This study examined Anis Chouchène's poem Untitled through Michael Riffaterre's semiotic theory, employing heuristic and hermeneutic readings. It aimed to explore how ungrammaticalities in the poem generated deeper meanings. At the heuristic level, the poem questions conventional Arab identity through irony and contradiction. The hermeneutic reading revealed a critique of moral and cultural decline in the Arab world, expressed through themes of disillusionment, hypocrisy, and the erosion of human values. The model of a nation that has eroded the value of humanity is reflected in the matrix of humanity, underscoring Chouchène's broader poetic message, particularly in Salām' Alaikum. The findings showed that Chouchène employed poetic language not only to challenge identity constructs but also to promote universal human values as essential foundations for justice and peace.

Abstract

This study aims to examine or analyze the use of the letters maa and laa in the book of Al-Arba'in an-Nawawiyyah, especially in the formation of negation and affirmation meanings in the hadith text. This study was conducted using the approach of nahwu science to understand the special function of the two letters in the structure of Arabic sentences. The results of the study show that the letter maa in the book of al-Arbain an-Nawawiyyah functions as a tool of negation, limitation, and affirmation. At the same time, the letter laa is used as an explicit negation or as a strict prohibition. An in-depth analysis of its use in the book of al-Arba'in an-Nawawiyyah shows the important role of both in strengthening the moral and legal messages of Islam conveyed by the Messenger of Allah. By understanding the function of maa and laa, readers can avoid misunderstandings in interpreting the teachings of Islam contained in the hadith of al-Arba'in an-Nawawiyyah, as well as enriching readers' insights into the rules of nahwu in the study of religious texts.

Abstract

Ibn Taimiyah emphasized that Arabic belongs to the integral elements of Islam, and learning it is considered a necessity, because understanding the Qur'an and As-Sunnah cannot be achieved without Arabic. Thus, motivation to learn Arabic becomes an important aspect in learners' mastery of the language. Self-development is acknowledged as a factor that influences motivation to learn. This study aims to identify the correlations between self-development and students' learning motivation and the extent to which self-development affects their motivation to learn. The research method used in this study is quantitative with a descriptive correlational approach. The sampling consisted of seventh-grade students of MTs Sirojul Haromain, Gresik. The research findings showed a positive & significant relationship between self-development and students' motivation to learn, with a correlation value of r = 0.687 and significance of p = 0.001 (p < 0.01). The Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.890 indicates that the instrument in this study has excellent internal consistency.

Abstract

This study aims to trace the historical roots and developmental dynamics of the Arabic language through a systematic literature review approach. The method involves collecting and analyzing data from a wide range of classical and contemporary sources, which are thematically categorized into three developmental phases: pre-classical, classical, and modern. The findings reveal that the evolution of Arabic has been shaped by multiple factors, including political expansion, cultural transmission, educational developments, and the central role of religion, particularly within the context of Islam. Moreover, the Arabic language demonstrates a remarkable capacity to adapt to modern challenges while retaining its linguistic identity. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of Arabic’s historical trajectory and the external forces influencing its transformation, offering valuable implications for Arabic linguistic studies and the preservation of Semitic language heritage.
