Abstract

Since 1968, Resources for Arabic education and learning have continued to advance, thanks to recent technological advancements. Junior high school Arabic textbooks have also been updated based on several factors, including correcting numerous errors and material organization to optimize use and circulation. Researchers discovered that this study, which revealed the visual aspects of the book released by Kemenag in 2020 from the perspectives of Sudarma and Erin M. McTigue, was conducted using exploratory qualitative research and descriptive analysis methodologies. Tables and 180 cartoon pictures or photos comprise most of the book's visual aspects; the remaining elements are design elements, including circles, blunt boxes, and other shapes. Readers may find it challenging to see some layout conditions because they are still random.

Abstract

The poem "Salamun 'Alaikum" by Anis Chouchene is a compelling subject for analysis due to its exploration of the theme of peace, which was once lost in Tunisia. This study aims to uncover the full significance of the poem. Utilizing Riffaterre's semiotic approach, the research involved text observation, data source identification, and multiple readings of the poem. The findings are summarized as follows: (1) Heuristic reading reveals that the poem employs accessible language and personification, along with numerous affirmations to underscore the poet's viewpoint. (2) Hermeneutic reading suggests that the poem is a response to an incident of racism in Tunisia, with the poet expressing personal feelings and recommending actions for Tunisian citizens. (3) The underlying matrix of the poem is the theme of peace, which the poet seeks to communicate to the broader public, especially the Tunisian population, which was grappling with racism at the time.

Abstract

This article examines the implementation of the independent curriculum in Arabic subjects at Alif Laam Mim Islamic Yunior High School Surabaya. This curriculum change requires educational units to adhere to the concepts of the curriculum that have been implemented. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was carried out through interviews and observations. The data analyzed were obtained from interviews with research subjects, namely Arabic language education teachers who teach in the seventh and eighth grades at MTs Alif Laam Mim Surabaya. This research shows that Alif Laam Mim Islamic Yunior High School has implemented the independent curriculum concept at the seventh and eighth-grade levels. In teaching and learning, teachers apply differentiated instruction that prioritizes students' abilities, talents, and interests. Teachers also focus on character development in each lesson. However, the concept of the independent curriculum still needs to be fully understood by all teachers, so they must learn to grasp the concept fully continuously.

Abstract

The aesthetic aspects of kalām (rhetoric or expression) have prompted extensive debate among classical Arab critics regarding the dualism of lafẓ (expression) and ma'nā (meaning). Central to this debate is whether beauty resides in the wording, the meaning, or a combination of both. This discussion became particularly pronounced in the context of the Qur'anic miraculousness, eventually leading to the development of the science of balaghah (rhetoric) between the 2nd and 5th centuries CE. This article employs a literature review and qualitative descriptive approach to examine the discourse on the dualism of lafẓ and ma'nā among scholars of i'jāz (inimitability) and classical Arab critics. The literature review incorporates primary sources from classical critics alongside modern perspectives to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding. The study finds that within the debate on lafẓ and ma'nā, there are proponents of lafẓ (anṣār al-lafẓ), proponents of ma'nā (anṣār al-ma’nā), and those who advocate for an integration of both. Notably, Abdul Qahir al-Jurjani presents a unique perspective through his theory of naẓm, which asserts that the beauty of kalām is derived from its arrangement in accordance with the conceptual meaning (ma’ānī fī al-nafs).

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of contextualised communication strategies, grounded in Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), for teaching Arabic speaking in a Salafi pesantren, with a focus on Mamba’us Sholihin. Using a critical ethnographic case study, data were gathered through 120 hours of participant observation across classrooms, religious activities, and dormitories, as well as in-depth interviews with eight teachers and fifteen students, within its unique daily educational ecosystem. Findings show: (1) The pesantren’s CLT implementation entails complex negotiation with Salafi cultural values, integrating Arabic into religious practices, and relying on teachers and the kyais as essential socio-cultural mediators. (2) The hierarchical structure of the pesantren constrains open critical expression, necessitating cautious pedagogical adaptation. The study concludes that effective CLT in this context hinges on continual negotiation and adaptation to local values, and recommends developing a systematic, “glocalized” pedagogical framework that aligns CLT principles with the cultural and religious ethos of the Salafi Pesantren Mamba’us Sholihin.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze in depth the effectiveness of Articulate Storylines as a learning medium for learning Ilmu Bayan in the Balaghah. This study uses a literature review method. The data analysis techniques employed in this study involve examining theories and ideas presented in the literature relevant to the research topic. Data collection in this study was conducted through various diverse literature sources, such as articles, journals, books, and research relevant to Articulate Storylines and Ilmu Bayan learning. Literature sources obtained from various references are analyzed carefully. These sources are selected to provide in-depth insights into the application of technology that can be used in language education, especially in increasing the effectiveness of Ilmu Bayan learning. Ilmu Bayan is one of the Balaghah branches that is often considered a branch with difficult material to understand, because the material of Ilmu Bayan contains kinayah, isti'arah, majaz, and tasybih, which are almost similar. Therefore, the use of Articulate Storylines media can be a solution to understanding and differentiating the materials in the study of Ilmu Bayan. It is because Articulate Storylines has highly effective features to support improved learning outcomes, not only making learning enjoyable but also enhancing the learning process to be innovative and effective.

Abstract

This study aims to critically examine the forms of mispronunciation of Qur’anic letters from the aspects of makhārij al-ḥurūf (points of articulation) and ṣifāt al-ḥurūf (characteristics of the letters). It also explores in greater depth the factors that cause these problems to occur, as well as the solutions applied to minimize mistakes in Qur’an recitation. The method employed is a descriptive qualitative method based on a phonological approach with a focus on articulatory phonology. The data source of this study is the Qur’an recitations of participants in the tahsin Qur’an study circle (ḥalaqah) at Rumah Tartil Qur’an Maisuuro. The findings show that the majority of participants frequently make errors in pronouncing isti‘lā’ letters (emphatic letters), such as qāf (ق), ṣād (ص), and others. Occasionally, they also mispronounce light letters, such as ‘ain (ع), rā’ (ر), and so on. Other common phonological mistakes include lengthening or shortening sounds incorrectly, substituting letters or vowels, adding or omitting letters, and similar errors. These mispronunciations are influenced by factors related to the learners themselves, their parents, and their teachers. Therefore, all close stakeholders must be actively involved in the Qur’an learning process at RTQ Maisuuro in order to produce both quality and quantity in Qur’an recitation.

Abstract

This study analyzes and compares the accuracy of two generative artificial intelligence models, ChatGPT and Deepseek, in producing taṣrīf (morphological conjugation) and explaining the meanings of wazan (morphological patterns) in Arabic morphology. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method with a content analysis approach, the research uses 30 fiʿl thulāthī mazīd (triliteral verbs with augmentation) representing all categories ṣaḥīḥ, maḥmūz, muḍāʿaf, muʿtal, miṯāl, ajwaf, nāqiṣ, and lafīf. Each verb was tested on ChatGPT 4.0 and Deepseek V3.1, and the outputs were verified against classical references, including al-Bināʾ, al-Maqṣūd, and al-Amthilah al-Taṣrīfiyyah. The findings show that both models produce fairly accurate results with distinctive tendencies: Deepseek aligns more closely with classical morphological rules, while ChatGPT provides more diverse and contextual explanations. Pedagogically, both have strong potential to support Arabic morphology learning through interactive and varied outputs, though teacher supervision remains essential to maintain adherence to classical standards.
