Abstract

Arabic vocabulary mastery remains a persistent challenge in foreign language learning, while empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of specific gamified learning modes, particularly Blooket Gold Quest, in Madrasah Aliyah contexts remains limited. This study examined whether gamified learning using Blooket Gold Quest was associated with higher Arabic vocabulary mastery than conventional instruction. A quantitative quasi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest control group design was employed, involving 28 eleventh-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah Sunan Ampel Kejayan, Indonesia, consisting of 14 students in the experimental group and 14 students in the control group. Data were collected using a 20-item multiple-choice vocabulary test and analyzed through a paired-samples t-test, an independent-samples t-test, and Cohen's d effect size. The findings showed that both groups improved after instruction; however, the experimental group achieved higher posttest scores than the control group. The independent samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between groups (t = 2.172, p = .039), accompanied by a large practical effect (Cohen's d = 0.821). These findings suggest that integrating the Gold Quest mode into Arabic vocabulary instruction may support higher vocabulary achievement than conventional classroom practice. This study extends empirical evidence regarding the pedagogical potential of the Gold Quest game mode in enhancing Arabic vocabulary learning among Madrasah Aliyah students and provides practical implications for integrating gamified learning into Arabic language instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the content quality, language, presentation, exercises, graphical design, and pedagogical relevance of Al-Naḥw al-Asāsī and Al-Naḥw at-Taṭbīqī to identify their respective strengths and suitability for modern Arabic grammar instruction. Using a qualitative approach with comparative content analysis, the study evaluates both textbooks based on a synthesis of Mudzakkir’s and Cunningsworth’s textbook evaluation frameworks, focusing on five aspects: content, language, presentation, exercises, and graphics. The findings indicate that Al-Naḥw al-Asāsī excels in content depth, systematic organization, and grammatical accuracy, making it particularly suitable for academic and theoretical studies. Meanwhile, Al-Naḥw al-Taṭbīqī demonstrates strengths in language accessibility, inductive presentation, contextualized exercises, and learner-friendly design, making it more compatible with contemporary learner-centered approaches. The study concludes that the two textbooks are complementary rather than competitive, as they represent different instructional orientations: theoretical mastery and practical language application. Integrating the strengths of both textbooks may contribute to more effective and relevant naḥw instruction for contemporary Arabic language learners.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the differences in prior Arabic learning backgrounds between students from Islamic boarding schools and non-Islamic boarding schools in the Tenth-Grade Islamic Senior High School of State Islamic Senior High School 1 Medan (MAN 1 Medan), causing a gap in initial ability in mastering Arabic vocabulary. This study aims to determine the differences in initial ability of Islamic boarding school and non-Islamic boarding school students and analyze teacher strategies in dealing with these differences. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data are analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, while the validity of the data is tested using triangulation techniques. The results of the study indicate that there are differences in vocabulary ability between Islamic boarding school and non-Islamic boarding school students. To address these conditions, teachers apply adaptive and varied learning strategies, such as drill methods, group learning, learning media, and mentoring for non-Islamic boarding school students, so that the vocabulary learning process can take place more effectively and in a balanced manner.
