Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning is rapidly increasing, while research on the use of AI in teaching the Arabic language in Indonesia remains limited. As an exploratory study , this research aims to explore the perceptions of lecturers regarding the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching speaking skills in Arabic and its impact on learning effectiveness at Nahdlatul Ulama University of Sunan Giri (UNUGIRI). Using a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological design, this study includes in-depth interviews with two Arabic language lecturers and classroom observations. The results indicate that lecturers have positive perceptions regarding the potential of AI to enhance speaking practice and provide instant feedback to students. However, they also identified challenges such as curriculum adaptation and the need for continuous professional development. The impacts of using AI on learning include increased student motivation, more practice opportunities, and personalized learning. The main challenges are in authentic assessment and the integration of cultural context. it is among the first to investigate the implementation of AI in Arabic language instruction within the Indonesian higher education context; it adopts a phenomenological approach to capture in-depth insights into lecturers’ lived experiences; and it offers a comparative analysis of two AI tools Google Assistant and FunEasyLearn in supporting Arabic speaking skills. In conclusion, the application of AI in learning Arabic at UNUGIRI shows promising potential, but it requires a balanced approach between technological innovation and traditional teaching methods. This study highlights the importance of continuous development in integrating AI into Arabic language curricula in higher education in Indonesia.

Abstract

The problem is the result of the interaction between man and his environment. The problem has also become a part of the learning process of human beings to acquire knowledge and experience that is a notch better than ever. In addition, the problem became a matter of learning which occurs naturally through the daily live and that is formed through a mutual agreement for the themes of learning in learning and teaching activities. Problem based learning is a learning model that provides aspect of realistic problems that occur in life. On the other hand, a problem that is presented by form of contextualization learning materials are taught a process of discussion groups with interactive dialogue method. Furthermore, in the context of learning a foreign language, Arabic lesson also have relation problems realistically that can be seen through the Arabic proficiency such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing or knowledge of Arabic grammar is often studied and used to analyse and understand the Arabic books.

Abstract

Language development programs in higher education institutions have been facing concurring obstacles. A great part of these obstacles are caused by low proficiency level of students. The fact that prospective students are considered to have adequate experience in learning foreign language does not necessarily make the programs design undemanding. In order to cope with this challenge, higher education institutions need to perform thorough and careful processes of designing language development programs. This article argues that determining realistic goals, keeping up with latest research findings, and creating supportive environments will greatly contribute to effectiveness of these programs.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Toshihiko Izutsu’s approach to semantic analysis of the Qur'anic text, with a focus on its methodological principles and applications. Izutsu emphasizes the necessity of understanding the relationships between concepts within the Qur'anic discourse, analyzing the primary and relational meanings of key terms, and considering the worldview that forms the cultural and religious backdrop of the text. His method relies on both synchronic and diachronic analysis, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of meanings over time. This methodology is applied to the analysis of the terms ṣidq ("truthfulness") and ṣādiqīn ("the truthful ones"). In the pre-Islamic era, their meanings were largely confined to worldly values such as honesty in speech, loyalty in fulfilling promises, and skillfulness in action. With the revelation of the Qur'an, these terms acquired a profound religious dimension, becoming associated with faith and ethical integrity. In Islamic mysticism (Sufism), ṣidq evolved into a foundational spiritual virtue, representing inner sincerity and complete devotion to God. The study concludes that Izutsu’s semantic approach reveals the dynamic nature of meaning within the Qur'anic text and illustrates how concepts evolve alongside social, cultural, and religious transformations. It underscores the significance of semantic analysis in uncovering the deeper dimensions of sacred texts, thereby offering new horizons for Qur'anic and linguistic studies.

Abstract

This study analysis the problems of the implementation of the inquiry learning model in Arabic language learning in Indonesia (Madrasah Tsanawiyah) and Malaysia (Sekolah Agama Bantuan Kerajaan) through a comparative literature study based on content analysis. Data were obtained from scientific journals related to the inquiry learning model in Arabic language learning and journals, books, and policies published 2010-2024. The results showed multidimensional problems in both countries: (1) Teachers: low mastery of inquiry methodology and Arabic; (2) Students: low basic language skills and passive learning habits; (3) Linguistics: the complexity of Arabic grammar and the interference of the mother tongue; (4) Resources: limited time allocation and inadequate facilities. Integrative solutions include: intensive and practical teacher capacity building through Indonesia-Malaysia hybrid teacher training, adjustment of learning models and approaches using guided inquiry, use of technology and development of learning resources, preparation of students and creation of learning climate, adjustment of evaluation systems and supporting policies. It can be concluded that the success of the inquiry requires a holistic approach based on the local reality of each country.

Abstract

The need for national development and peaceful coexistence amongst the citizenry dominated current discussion in Nigeria. The article examined the impacts of Arabic language and Islamic values in the actualization of national development in Nigeria via the bridging of ethnic diversity. The paper critically examined factors that constitute obstacles to unity amongst Nigerians, with a view to finding panaceas to Nigeria’s imminent disintegration. This study, using a qualitative approach employed both historical and contextual methods to investigate the causes of disunity where ethnic diversity exists. It examined the predisposing factors as well steps that could be taken to ensure peaceful co-existence and national development. Data were collected from a range of reliable published sources in Arabic language authored by eminent Nigerian Arabic scholars intermarried with case studies of the current situation. The study revealed that doctrinal differences, leadership tussle, tribal affiliations, and matters relating to political leadership are some of the major contentious issues. The results indicated that literacy in Arabic language and deeper understanding of Islamic values have the potentialities of  serving as the vehicles in facilitating harmonious relationship and national development. The knowledge of Arabic stimulates interaction at the linguistic level both in local and international contexts and promotes unity amongst the citizenry, together with Islamic values. They jointly play an important role in peacemaking and national development. Subsequent studies must explore further,  the impact of Arabic education in peacemaking amongst the citizens of diverse backgrounds and advise the educators on the need for  curriculum development to improve the level of harmonious relationship amongst Nigerians. Considering the fact that the corporate existence of Nigeria is preferable to its disintegration, the study provided a list of recommendations the actualization of which could enhance the much-desired national development.
