Abstract

Arabic Language Education (ALE) in Indonesia faces a persistent gap between curricular goals and actual learner proficiency, exacerbated by limited integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in instruction. This study investigates how AI can transform ALE in Indonesia by aligning technological innovation with cultural and spiritual values. Employing a qualitative exploratory design, the research integrates documentary analysis, meta-synthesis, and comparative case studies from Malaysia, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia three nations leading in AI adoption for Arabic instruction. It also draws empirical data from an AI-assisted pilot project at Fatimah Azzahro Islamic Boarding School, West Java. Results reveal that intelligent tutoring systems, personalized learning platforms, and spiritually embedded AI tools significantly enhance engagement, retention, and contextual understanding. The Indonesian pilot recorded a 77% rise in student engagement and 67% in long-term retention, demonstrating the effectiveness of culturally responsive AI integration. Comparative insights highlight the need for a hybrid paradigm combining AI with value-based education rooted in national ideology and Qur’anic ethics. The study advocates for a holistic ALE framework that bridges philosophical ideals with scalable, technology-driven solutions. This model positions Indonesia to develop an ALE system that is globally competitive, spiritually grounded, and responsive to the demands of Society 5.0.

Abstract

This study addresses a research gap concerning the limited empirical evidence on learners’ understanding and use of transitive and intransitive verbs in Arabic as a foreign language, particularly within the Malaysian higher education context. The study aims to examine students’ levels of comprehension and usage patterns of these verb types, as well as to identify related morphological difficulties. Adopting a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 91 undergraduate students enrolled in the LG 242 course at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS, focusing on mean scores and standard deviations to determine students’ levels of understanding and usage. The findings indicate that students demonstrate a generally high level of understanding of transitive and intransitive verbs, with mean scores ranging from 3.60 to 4.14. However, persistent difficulties were identified in accurately distinguishing between the two verb types, largely due to insufficient mastery of Arabic morphological systems. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of morphological understanding with the functional use of verbs in daily communication, an aspect that has received limited attention in previous research. The findings contribute to the literature on Arabic language pedagogy and offer practical implications for enhancing instructional and assessment strategies in teaching Arabic morphology at the tertiary level.

Abstract

In Arabic language pedagogy, students often demonstrate adequate grammatical accuracy yet struggle to produce introductions that are thematically coherent, rhetorically engaging, and contextually appropriate, reflecting a limited integration of classical rhetorical principles in modern writing instruction. This study explores the pedagogical value of Barāʾat al-Istihlāl, a classical rhetorical device traditionally used in Arabic literature to craft meaningful openings, within the context of modern Arabic language teaching. Conducted at Pondok Pesantren Darullughah Wadda’wah with 30 male Aliyah-level students, the research employed a qualitative design involving classroom observations, focus group discussions, and interviews. Findings reveal that practicing rhetorical openings not only enhanced students’ ability to write coherent and stylistically engaging introductions but also enriched their vocabulary, with learners acquiring ten to fifteen new lexical items per session. Furthermore, the practice cultivated emotional sensitivity, training students to align openings with appropriate moods and contexts such as using uplifting language for joyful occasions or solemn expressions for serious ones thereby fostering both linguistic awareness and rhetorical taste (al-Ḥass al-Lughawī wa al-Dhawq al-Balāghī). The study concludes that Barāʾat al-Istihlāl is a powerful pedagogical strategy that bridges classical rhetorical heritage with contemporary education, offering dual benefits for written composition and oral communication. Implications suggest its integration into writing classes and public speaking training to enhance students’ linguistic competence, cultural sensitivity, and persuasive ability.

Abstract

This study investigates the pedagogical structure and scaffolding mechanisms within Pengantar Belajar Ilmu Nahwu by Al-Habib Hasan bin Ahmad Baharun, a foundational Arabic syntax textbook widely used in pesantren education in Indonesia. While previous studies on Arabic grammar learning have primarily emphasized external scaffolding through instructional strategies or digital technologies, limited attention has been paid to the internal scaffolding embedded within traditional nahwu textbooks themselves. Grounded in Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and the scaffolding framework of Wood, Bruner, and Ross, this qualitative content analysis examines how the text sequentially supports novice learners in mastering Arabic syntax. The findings identify three interrelated scaffolding stages conceptual, procedural, and integrative through which syntactic awareness is progressively developed using simplified examples, repetitive sentence patterns, and contextualized explanations. A distinctive pedagogical feature of the book is its early emphasis on phonological recognition (ḍammah, fatḥah, and kasrah) prior to introducing abstract grammatical terminology, which functions as a cognitive bridge for beginners. The study concludes that Pengantar Belajar Ilmu Nahwu exemplifies an effective model of internal scaffolding, demonstrating how traditional Arabic grammar materials can align with contemporary educational psychology to support novice syntax learning in pesantren and similar educational contexts.

Abstract

Despite the widespread use of repetition in Arabic speaking instruction, empirical research examining its affective scaffolding dimension particularly teacher vocal modulation as an emotional and psychomotor support remains limited.This study investigates the role of affective scaffolding in enhancing Arabic speaking fluency through the “Repeat After Me” technique in a pesantren-based classroom. Using a quasi-experimental mixed-method design, sixty male students were divided into experimental and control groups over eight weeks of instruction. The experimental group received teacher-guided vocal scaffolding involving tone modulation, rhythmic pacing, and empathetic feedback, while the control group practiced standard repetition. Quantitative results revealed significant improvements in fluency (Cohen’s d = 0.89) and a notable reduction in language anxiety among the experimental group. Qualitative findings from interviews indicated that collective repetition fostered emotional safety, enjoyment, and imitation of native-like pronunciation, despite physical fatigue. The integration of affective and psychomotor elements transformed repetition into an engaging, embodied learning process that strengthened confidence and rhythmical accuracy. This study concludes that teacher vocal modulation functions as both an emotional regulator and a psychomotor model, offering a holistic framework for Arabic language pedagogy that unites sound, emotion, and bodily expression.

Abstract

Conventional Arabic vocabulary instruction in many Islamic secondary schools remains predominantly teacher-centered, relying heavily on memorization and teacher-led repetition, which often results in limited learner engagement, weak active retrieval, and low long-term vocabulary retention particularly in verb-based forms with complex morphological patterns. Responding to these pedagogical limitations, this study investigates the impact of role reversal pedagogy implemented through peer-led choral recitation in Arabic vocabulary learning within a Malaysian educational context. The instructional practice, locally conceptualized as “Pretending to Be Cikgu,” assigns selected students to temporarily assume the role of teacher by leading their peers in collective recitation of verb-based vocabulary drawn from Kitab Af‘āl al-Yawmiyyah. Employing a qualitative classroom-based research design, data were collected through classroom observations, student reflections, and teacher field notes. The findings reveal that peer-led choral recitation enhances learner engagement, collective participation, and vocabulary internalization. Students acting as instructional leaders demonstrated higher levels of responsibility, confidence, and active retrieval, while peers benefited from structured repetition and reduced speaking anxiety. The approach functioned as both a cognitive and social scaffold, reinforcing memory consolidation of morphologically inflected Arabic verbs and fostering a collaborative learning environment. The study concludes that role reversal pedagogy offers a learner-centered instructional model that addresses key shortcomings of conventional vocabulary instruction by shifting responsibility from teacher to students, promoting deeper lexical internalization and socially distributed learner autonomy in Arabic vocabulary learning.
