Abstract

Arabic language learning in Semester Credit System (SKS) class, where both students and teachers are pressed for time and curriculum demands, inevitably encounters various problems, both linguistic and non-linguistic, during the learning process. Based on this, the focus of this study includes the challenges in Arabic language learning within SKS class, as well as the efforts made by teachers to overcome these challenges in SKS class at MAN 2 Yogyakarta. This research is a descriptive qualitative study employing four data collection methods: observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The results of the study show the following: First, the linguistic problems found include issues related to phonology, word formation (morphology), sentence structure (syntax), meaning (semantics), and writing system (orthography). Meanwhile, the non-linguistic problems identified include students’ diverse backgrounds, low learning motivation, unattractive textbook design, limited instructional time, and an unsupportive language environment. Second, the efforts made by teachers to address these challenges include visualizing vocabulary, encouraging practical use of the given vocabulary, providing basic Imla’ (dictation) training at the beginning of the semester, and creating a more relaxed and non-intimidating classroom atmosphere.

Abstract

The limited availability of Arabic language learning media poses a significant obstacle to enhancing students’ motivation in memorizing vocabulary. This issue is particularly concerning in today’s digital era, as it has the potential to lower students’ Arabic language proficiency. However, digital media is not always a guaranteed solution for improving vocabulary memorization skills. This study aims to explore the use of the Memrise application as a solution to enhance students’ motivation in memorizing Arabic vocabulary, as well as to evaluate its effectiveness as a vocabulary memorization tool. The results indicate that using Memrise is effective in increasing the motivation of students at MTs Insan Qurani Aceh Besar to memorize Arabic vocabulary. This is supported by descriptive analysis showing that 87.5% of students rated the use of Memrise as “enjoyable” in boosting their motivation. Furthermore, the analysis of Pre-Test and Post-Test scores using the Paired Sample T-Test yielded a significance value of 0.015, which is less than 0.05. This confirms that the Memrise application is effective in helping students memorize vocabulary. The implications of this research may serve as a foundation for further development in enriching Arabic learning media within digital education environments.

Abstract

Arabic semantics presents complex relationships, particularly through musytarak lafzi (lexical polysemy), mudhad (auto-antonyms), and ambiguity. These phenomena represent types of meaning relations that can significantly influence text interpretation when not approached contextually. This article aims to examine these three semantic features within Arabic linguistics and explore their implications for contextual understanding, especially in classical and religious texts. Using a qualitative, descriptive method, the study analyzes lexical examples from the Qur’an, hadits, and Arabic literary works. The findings show that musytarak lafzi in words such as ‘ʿayn’ (which may mean eye, essence, or spring) and mudhad in words like ‘zann’ (which can indicate certainty or doubt) often become major sources of ambiguity, potentially leading to misinterpretation if readers lack contextual awareness. Therefore, a deep understanding of these semantic relations is essential to achieve accurate comprehension of Arabic texts. This study concludes that contextual interpretation plays a vital role in clarifying lexical ambiguity rooted in Arabic’s semantic structures, thereby contributing to both linguistic analysis and the pedagogical development of Arabic language teaching.

Abstract

This study describes the management of Arabic language learning programs at Egypt Islamic Boarding and Course Pare, a non-formal educational institution based on boarding schools that integrates intensive courses with a boarding school system; namely how to apply management functions according to George R. Terry's theory, which includes planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising, in supporting the effectiveness of Arabic language learning programs. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which consists of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that program planning is carried out through the preparation of an internal curriculum, a level placement system (placement test), and recruitment of teaching staff according to needs. The organization of the program can be seen from the neat institutional structure, clear division of tasks between the academic team and the dormitory management, and intensive coordination. The implementation of the program uses direct and communicative methods that are integrated with the daily activities of students in the dormitory system, creating a conducive learning environment (bi'ah lughawiyah). Program supervision is carried out through formative and summative evaluations, daily monitoring, and two-way feedback as part of quality assurance. This study shows that the application of George R. Terry's theory has proven effective in managing Arabic language learning programs in non-formal boarding school-based institutions.

Abstract

This study analyzes the forms of expressive Arabic language competency tests in the Lembaga Pengembangan Pesantren Muhammadiyah (LP2PPM) MTs Arabic language textbook for grade VII. The results of the study show that there are two types of tests, namely (1) subjective speaking skills tests (dialogue pronunciation, picture description, sentence structure changes), and (2) objective writing skills tests (sentence modification, improvement, and creation). The author offers alternative test forms, including audio conversation barcodes, stimulus picture descriptions, interviews, and serial picture comments for speaking skills; as well as variations in spelling and writing picture comments for writing skills. This study is expected to produce a more effective, relevant, and applicable assessment model for students and teachers, while contributing to the development of Arabic language learning at the MTs level in Indonesia.
