Abstract

The central issue addressed in this study is the students' inadequate writing skills. Writing proficiency is important for academic success across all subjects taught in Arabic. Students with poor writing abilities encounter difficulties in responding to questions that necessitate written answers in Arabic. This research aims to identify the challenges faced by students at Syamsudhuha Islamic Boarding School in mastering writing skills, to explore the factors contributing to these challenges, and to propose solutions for improving writing instruction. This study employs a descriptive survey methodology, utilizing interviews, questionnaires, and documentation as research instruments to comprehensively describe the existing issues and contributing factors. The findings reveal that students struggle with the application of nahwu and sharaf rules, limited vocabulary, lack of interest in writing. Contributing factors include static teaching methods, absence of instructional media, an ineffective language learning environment, unsystematic vocabulary distribution, and limited goals for Arabic language learning. This study suggested several solutions to these problems: providing language learning facilities and resources, enhancing the language environment, improving the quality of teaching, and incorporating systematic writing practice.

Abstract

Lamiyyat al-Arab by Al- Shanfara is an honest mirror of pre-Islamic life, reflecting its good and bad, and a pinnacle of artistic maturity. This study is a model for revealing psychological value-based phenomena in the lives of pre-Islamic people in general and Saʿālīk in particular. This paper aims to extract the most important moral values in the Lamiyyat Al-Arab, analyzing the verses of the Al-Lamiyyat related to values, while comparing them with others. The paper used the inductive, analytical, and deductive approach. The results show that Lamiyyat al-Arab expresses the values of courage, pride, kindness, generosity, and others. The life of nomadism and the dryness of nature contributed to the uniqueness of Al-Shanfara’s poetry. Al-Lamiyyat expressed a class of society, namely the Saʿālīk, through the values and morals prevailing among them. The poet expressed these values through many expressions. The poet used Bahr Al-Taweel through which he expressed the values of courage, pride, and kindness. The moral values mentioned in the Lamiya are approved by Islam and common sense. The researcher recommends more specialized studies on Lamiyyat al-Arab and other Arabic literature studies such as the artistic aspect, rhetorical, eloquence, semiotic, musical, aesthetic, and other studies.

Abstract

As times change, technological development is also accelerating, requiring the learning process to stay updated in line with technological advancements, especially in Arabic language learning. Arabic language learning is known to be difficult and tedious. Therefore, innovative and engaging methods and media are needed to enhance learning enthusiasm and minimize boredom among students during the learning process, leading to enjoyable and effective learning. In response to this, researchers used the Wordwall website as a learning medium for evaluating Arabic language learning. The purpose of this research is to introduce the Wordwall website, which can be used as an evaluation medium. The Wordwall media has many interesting features suitable for creating questions, making it effective for evaluating Arabic language learning and preventing students from getting bored with passive learning media. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with field research, employing data reduction techniques. The results show that the Wordwall media is very effective as an evaluation medium for Arabic language learning, as seen from the enthusiasm of students in responding to learning, creating a fun classroom environment and active students during the learning process. This media is very effective when applied at various school levels because it is rich in features that can be adjusted according to the level of the students. The use of Wordwall media as an evaluation medium has a positive impact on better learning outcomes because students are more active in the learning process.

Abstract

This study examines the use of the word 'lughatan' in everyday language from the past to the present, The word is often positioned (i’rab) as 'al-manshub 'ala naz'i al-khafid' rather than as 'hal'. This research aims to reinforce the classification of 'lughatan' as 'hal' in Arabic sentences and to explain the underlying reasons for this classification. By employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the study seeks to analize divergent opinions among Nahwu scholars regarding the positioning of 'lughatan', both as 'al-manshub 'ala naz'i al-khafid' and 'hal', and the rationale for these positions. The data analysis concludes that 'lughatan' is appropriately positioned as 'hal' in various Arabic sentence constructions. The justification for this is that positioning should be understood straightforwardly, avoiding unnecessary complexity in the interpretation process.

Abstract

The Dialogue method is considered one of the most effective ways to teach Arabic, as it helps students achieve fluency in pronunciation and sentence construction. Hence, the researchers aim to implement this method in their Arabic teaching due to the struggle of students at SMAIT Al-Arabiyah with sentence construction. The research questions are: What is the process of learning Arabic using the Dialogue method at SMAIT Al-Arabiyah, and how effective is learning Arabic using the this method? The objectives of the research are to identify the process of learning Arabic through the Dialogue method at SMAIT Al-Arabiyah and to assess its effectiveness. Researchers hypothesize that the Dialogue method effectively enhances Arabic conversation skills. They employed experimental research methods and found that the application of the Dialogue method involved four sessions: an initial meeting for method explanation and pre-test, two sessions for method application, and a final session for post-test. The results showed that the method is effective, with an average pre-test score of 67.60 and a post-test score of 72.39, and a T score of 3.57. These findings indicate that this method is highly suitable for improving students' speaking abilities.

Abstract

Language anxiety is a significant challenge that students encounter when speaking a foreign language. It encompasses self-perceptions, emotions, and behaviors related to learning in language classes, often manifesting as negative thoughts, fear of failure, and nervousness. This anxiety can hinder students' speaking abilities. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors contributing to language anxiety and assess its level in students’ speaking skills using the Horwitz Foreign Language Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). The research employs a quantitative survey method. The study population consists of 146 students from the Arabic Language Education Department for the academic year 2023-2024, with a sample of 60 students selected through incidental sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires. The findings reveal that language anxiety among students stems from three main factors: communicative anxiety due to psychological influences, assessment anxiety influenced by teachers and peers, and test anxiety triggered by situational factors. The overall level of language anxiety among students in the Arabic Language Education Department at Lhokseumawe State Islamic Institute averages 31, or 51.67%. This suggests that while students are aware of the causes of their anxiety, they still make an effort to speak. The results indicate a strong determination among students to overcome their language anxiety and continue practicing Arabic despite their struggles. However, there is no correlation between the questionnaire scores and the students' muhadatsah (speaking) lesson scores. The findings imply that reducing language anxiety through supportive teaching can enhance students’ confidence in speaking Arabic.
