Abstract

This study aims to analyze the main challenges and strategies in improving financial management accountability at Muslimeen Suksa Islamic Private School in Thailand. The research employs a qualitative case study approach. Primary data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with the principal as the person in charge of financial management and classroom teachers involved in budget implementation, supported by observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that although financial management functions such as planning, implementation, recording, and reporting have been carried out, accountability has not been fully optimized due to limited human resource competence, weak internal control mechanisms, dependence on government funding, and limited digital financial systems. Accountability is reflected in documented financial reports and conformity between budget plans and realization; however, transparency and digital documentation still require strengthening. Therefore, integrated strategies including digitalization, capacity building, internal supervision, and standardized reporting are needed to enhance sustainable financial accountability. These findings affirm that strengthening institutional accountability is essential to ensure transparency, efficiency, and long-term sustainability of Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

Mastery of mufradat (vocabulary) is a fundamental foundation in learning Arabic. However, the learning conditions at MTsN 2 Lamongan indicate that seventh-grade students still demonstrate low vocabulary mastery, which is influenced by the predominance of conventional teaching methods and the limited use of instructional media. This study aims to describe the implementation and effectiveness of the manual media Read & Find! in improving students’ Arabic vocabulary mastery. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the Read & Find! media, in the form of picture–word matching cards, is able to create a more interactive and enjoyable learning environment. The media facilitates visual–verbal associations, enabling students to recognize, remember, and understand vocabulary more effectively. Students also demonstrated increased participation, confidence, and accuracy in matching vocabulary with the appropriate images. These findings imply that the use of simple visual media such as Read & Find! can serve as an effective and practical instructional strategy for Arabic teachers to enhance vocabulary mastery and to promote more interactive and student-centered learning.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of women’s struggle in Inshallah Walad, directed by Amjad Al Rasheed, which portrays various forms of injustice experienced by women within a patriarchal social system. The study addresses the issue of how cinematic signs reflect women’s resistance and survival amid social, legal, and emotional oppression. It aims to analyze the forms and meanings of women’s struggle using the semiotic framework of Charles Sanders Peirce. Employing a qualitative library research method, data were collected from film dialogues, visual scenes, and relevant scholarly sources, then analyzed through Peirce’s triadic model of sign interpretation. The findings reveal five major representations of women’s struggle: resistance to patriarchal domination, efforts to defend rights and identity, strategic social negotiation, the preservation of dignity and personal freedom, and emotional resilience. This study contributes to the enrichment of semiotic and gender studies, particularly in understanding women’s representation in contemporary Middle Eastern cinema.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of tasybih and analyze their purposes in the novel Faris Bani Hamdan by Ali al-Jarim. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques using the observation method. The data in this study were taken from phrases, sentences, and discourses containing tasybih. Data analysis was conducted using the tasybih approach in ilm al bayan, and to break down the linguistic constructions this study applies the distributional technique based on the Immediate Constituent Analysis method to identify the elements of musyabbah, musyabbah bih, adat tasybih, and wajh syibh. The findings show various types of tasybih namely mursal, muakkad, mufassal, mujmal, baligh, tamtsil, and qarib mubtazal. Meanwhile, tasybih baid gharib was not found. The purposes of their use include bayan hal al musyabbah, taqrir hal al musyabbah, bayan miqdar al musyabbah, taqbih al musyabbah, and madh al musyabbah. The absence of bayan imkan, bayan imkan wujud, and istitraf indicates that the use of tasybih is more focused on strengthening meaning and clarifying messages rather than creating effects of unfamiliarity or surprise within the narrative. This study confirms that tasybih plays an important role in strengthening linguistic beauty and narrative function in modern Arabic literature.

Abstract

Qawaid (Arabic grammar) learning is often perceived as difficult and less engaging because it is commonly taught through conventional teacher-centered methods. This condition leads to low student participation, limited learning motivation, and difficulties in understanding and applying Arabic grammatical rules. Therefore, innovative instructional approaches are needed to create a more active, collaborative, and meaningful learning environment. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies in improving students’ mastery of qawaid while fostering their social and collaborative skills. This study employed a quantitative approach using an experimental design involving Madrasah Aliyah students as research participants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed by comparing learning conditions before and after the implementation of cooperative learning strategies. The findings reveal that cooperative learning significantly improves students’ understanding of qawaid, promotes active classroom participation, and enhances students’ motivation to learn. Furthermore, students demonstrated better collaboration and communication during the learning process. The study concludes that cooperative learning is an effective innovation in Arabic grammar instruction because it not only improves academic achievement but also develops students’ communication, teamwork, and responsibility skills. These findings contribute to the field of Arabic language education by providing practical insights for teachers seeking innovative and student-centered instructional strategies to enhance the quality of qawaid learning

Abstract

This study is motivated by the low proficiency in pronunciation, prosody, and intonation in Arabic language learning due to differences between the phonological systems of the native language and the target language. Phonological errors not only affect the clarity of speech but can also alter meaning. Therefore, this study aims to examine how applied phonology is implemented and its effectiveness in improving speech accuracy and reducing phonological errors. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, audio recordings, as well as pre-test and post-test techniques involving beginner to intermediate-level students. The data were analyzed comparatively and further validated by phonology experts. The results indicate that the application of applied phonology through articulation training, drilling methods, audio media, and acoustic analysis significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, enhances prosody, and refines intonation. In addition, there is a reduction in errors caused by native language interference. This study contributes to the development of a more systematic, effective, and applicable phonology-based model for teaching Arabic

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum requires Arabic teaching materials that are flexible, differentiated, multimodal, and supportive of formative assessment. However, many Arabic classrooms still use printed textbooks or static digital documents, which do not optimally support listening, speaking, independent learning, and rapid feedback. This study aims to analyze the urgency of developing an electronic Arabic textbook based on the Smart Interactive Arabic Textbook model as a response to the demands of the Merdeka Curriculum. This research uses library research with content analysis of Merdeka Curriculum policy documents, Arabic Learning Outcomes, and recent literature on digital Arabic learning, differentiated instruction, multimedia learning, gamification, and digital assessment. The findings show that electronic Arabic textbooks are needed for five main purposes: learning personalization, integration of visual-audiovisual texts, strengthening istima’ and kalam skills, reducing cognitive load, and enabling real-time diagnostic assessment. This article contributes a conceptual model of the Smart Interactive Arabic Textbook as a direction for developing adaptive, interactive, data-informed, and curriculum-aligned Arabic teaching materials.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Muhadatsah strategy in developing students’ Arabic speaking skills at Daarul Istikhlas Qur’anic Education Center, Tanak Awu, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. The main problem addressed in this research is the students’ limited ability and confidence in speaking Arabic during learning activities. The objective of this study is to explain how the Muhadatsah strategy is implemented in Arabic speaking instruction and how it contributes to improving students’ speaking skills. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving one Arabic teacher and students at the institution. Data were collected through classroom observations and interviews. The findings show that the Muhadatsah strategy is implemented through discussion and drilling techniques involving repetitive Arabic conversational practice. Students actively participate in dialogues in pairs and structured group activities, such as two-line speaking practice guided by the class leader or peers. This strategy contributes to the improvement of students’ fluency, grammatical accuracy, and confidence in using Arabic. In addition, the institution provides additional learning support for students who face difficulties, including extra instructional time and supplementary materials. Despite challenges such as limited class time and differences in student proficiency levels, a supportive learning environment plays an important role in the successful implementation of the strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the various problems arising in teaching Arabic vocabulary to Grade 8 students at MTsN 2 Makassar. It focuses on three main aspects: the forms of difficulty students experience in mastering vocabulary, the teaching methods used in vocabulary instruction, and the factors that support or hinder teaching effectiveness. This research employs a descriptive qualitative design involving 32 students, with 6 selected as interview participants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed inductively to obtain a factual description of classroom learning conditions. The findings reveal several major problems, including students’ limited understanding of word meanings, inaccurate pronunciation, and difficulty using vocabulary in grammatically correct sentences. Although the teacher implements communicative activities, audiovisual media, language games, and repetitive drills, their effectiveness remains limited due to differences in students’ basic language competence, low concentration, and large class sizes that limit individual attention. The study concludes that improving Arabic vocabulary instruction requires diversified strategies, expanded opportunities for practical application, and improved classroom management to promote active vocabulary use in appropriate communicative contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of interactive audio-visual media in Arabic language learning to improve the creative writing skills of students in the Arabic Language Program at Ma’had Wali Songo Putri Cukir Jombang. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation, involving teachers and students as participants. The findings indicate that the use of interactive audio-visual media, particularly short Arabic-language videos without subtitles, has been effectively implemented and well integrated into the learning process. This media provides authentic language contexts that facilitate students’ comprehension. The learning process is conducted systematically through three stages: introduction, main activities (listening, vocabulary discussion, and idea development), and closing (evaluation and feedback). The implementation of this method contributes to the improvement of students’ creative writing skills, as reflected in the fluency of ideas, vocabulary diversity, and paragraph organization. In addition, students’ motivation and self-confidence also increased. Supporting factors include the attractiveness and variety of the media, students’ enthusiasm, and the teacher’s guidance. However, several challenges were identified, such as limited vocabulary, differences in students’ abilities, and the speed of language in the videos, which can be addressed through appropriate instructional strategies.
