Abstract

The increasing demands of 21st-century education require language instruction models that not only enhance linguistic competence but also foster critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity (4Cs). Arabic language learning in Indonesian madrasahs, however, continues to face challenges such as low student engagement, monotonous teaching practices, and limited integration of digital tools. This study aims to explore the implementation of the humanistic approach as an innovative framework for interactive Arabic language learning at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. Employing a library research method, the study systematically reviewed books, peer-reviewed journals, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and electronic documents. The findings reveal that the humanistic approach promotes holistic student development by integrating cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects through supportive, interactive, and technology-mediated activities. It was also found that incorporating educational games and role-playing strategies enhances listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, while simultaneously cultivating students’ confidence and motivation. This study contributes to the literature by positioning the humanistic approach as a relevant pedagogical model for addressing contemporary challenges in Arabic education. It highlights the need for teacher training, adaptive methodologies, and context-sensitive media to optimize learning outcomes. Future research should empirically test the long-term effectiveness of this approach across diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to implement and explore the use of pictorial puzzle media in enhancing students' Arabic vocabulary mastery. The method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in 2 cycles, with each stage consisting of four steps: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research instruments used were student observation sheets and test results. From the preliminary study conducted on 13 students, only 3 students achieved the minimum mastery criteria, while 10 students did not, with an average score of only 69.7, whereas the minimum mastery criteria at Madrasah Nurul Hikmah is 75, indicating that the students' scores were still below the minimum mastery criteria. The research results after implementing pictorial puzzle media showed an increase in the Arabic vocabulary mastery of class V students at Madrasah Nurul Hikmah Bandar Lampung. This was evidenced by the increase in the average scores of students, which rose from 69.7 in the pre-cycle to 74.6 in cycle I and 88.5 in cycle II. The regular use of pictorial puzzle media can enhance students' ability to master Arabic vocabulary. This indicates that this method can be an effective solution for improving Arabic language learning in Madrasahs, and provides evidence that using visual approaches can greatly aid in improving students' learning outcomes.

Abstract

The Lampung language, a regional language rich in cultural and historical significance, has seen a significant decline in usage among younger generations, primarily due to the influences of globalization and the increasing dominance of national and international languages. This study aims to thoroughly identify and analyze the challenges faced in teaching the Lampung language at the elementary school level (SDN), focusing on SDN 1 Tanjungsari Lampung Selatan. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, this research investigates both internal factors, such as curriculum design and teaching methodologies, and external factors, including parental and community support. The findings reveal several key challenges: the limited availability of engaging teaching materials, inadequate teacher training, and low student interest in learning the Lampung language. To address these issues, the study suggests developing interactive digital teaching resources and enhancing teacher training programs to improve pedagogical competencies. Furthermore, integrating technology and incorporating local cultural elements into the teaching process can potentially boost student interest and engagement. This approach not only aligns with modern educational practices but also promotes a deeper appreciation of local heritage. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the preservation efforts of the Lampung language, ensuring its continued relevance and vitality as an integral part of Indonesia's rich cultural tapestry. Through strategic educational interventions, the study hopes to inspire greater interest and participation among the younger generation, thereby safeguarding the linguistic and cultural legacy of the Lampung people.
