Abstract

The teaching of Arabic writing often faces challenges, particularly students’ low motivation, limited vocabulary mastery, and the lack of interactive digital evaluation tools. This study aims to examine the use of Educaplay as a digital-based evaluation medium to enhance students’ Arabic writing skills. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving observation, questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test assessments administered to 40 tenth-grade students. The findings show a clear improvement in students’ writing performance, as indicated by higher post-test scores compared to pre-test results. Improvements were observed in creativity, text organization, vocabulary use, and grammatical accuracy. In addition, students expressed positive perceptions regarding the usability, interactivity, and motivational impact of Educaplay. These findings imply that integrating interactive digital evaluation tools such as Educaplay can effectively support the development of Arabic writing skills and promote more engaging learning environments.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent challenge of low Arabic reading comprehension (maharah qira’ah) among tenth-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah, a problem rooted in monotonous instructional methods and students’ limited exposure to interactive learning tools. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of Liveworksheets as an interactive web-based medium in improving students’ Arabic reading skills and to examine student responses toward its implementation. A gap identified in prior studies is that while digital tools have been explored in general Arabic learning, their specific application to developing maharah qira’ah through a collaborative classroom action research design remains underexplored. This study offers a novel contribution by integrating Liveworksheets within a two-cycle Classroom Action Research (CAR) framework following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through reading comprehension tests, structured classroom observations, and student response questionnaires. Findings demonstrate a significant improvement in classical learning mastery: from 52.7% in the pre-cycle with a mean score of 69.7, rising to 72.2% (mean: 76.6) in Cycle I, and reaching 86.1% (mean: 82.8) in Cycle II, surpassing the minimum classical mastery threshold of 85%. Student engagement, motivation, and confidence also increased substantially across cycles. This research contributes empirical evidence that Liveworksheets, particularly when implemented with a collaborative strategy, constitutes an effective and replicable model for enhancing Arabic reading instruction in Islamic secondary education contexts.

The average pretest score of 56.8 increased to 81.2 in the posttest, with an N-Gain value of 0.67 (moderate category close to high). This textbook effectively improves student understanding through visual, contextual, and online and offline practice support. These findings strengthen the relevance of the use of blended learning in learning Nahwu Science at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of YouTube-based interactive board media in supporting the development of listening skills (Maharah Istima’) among Grade VII F students at MTsN 1 Lamongan. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research involved the Arabic teacher and six students as key informants. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation collected on February 24, 2025. The findings show that the interactive board was utilized to display Arabic learning videos from YouTube, featuring native speaker pronunciation, simple dialogues, and contextual visuals. This combination of audio and visual elements helped students better understand vocabulary, pronunciation, and meaning. Students showed increased focus, enthusiasm, and participation during the learning process. However, several challenges were identified, including unstable internet connectivity and limited mastery of the interactive board’s advanced features. Overall, the use of YouTube-based interactive board media created a more engaging, contextual, and student-centered learning environment. This media supports students’ comprehension of spoken Arabic and aligns with the digital learning characteristics of today’s learners.

Abstract

This study aims to develop Arabic grammar teaching materials based on the Matan Jurumiyah textbook using an inductive approach, as well as to test their validity and effectiveness in improving students’ Arabic grammar skills. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) based on the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were first-grade students at the Madrasah Diniyah in the Hidayatul Qurro’ Islamic Boarding School in Blitar. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests (pretest and posttest), then analyzed using quantitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the developed teaching materials had a very high level of validity, with a score of 83% from media experts and 84% from content experts. Student responses to the teaching materials fell into the categories of “very interesting” and “highly needed.” Effectiveness testing showed a significant improvement in students’ grammar skills, as evidenced by an increase in the average score from 30.83 on the pretest to 80.83 on the posttest, with an N-gain value of 0.71, which falls into the moderate to high category. Thus, the Matan Jurumiyah-based Nahwu teaching materials using an inductive approach have been proven to be valid, engaging, and effective in improving students’ Arabic grammar skills, making them suitable for use in Nahwu instruction within Islamic boarding schools.
Beneath the Surface: Hidden Emotional Conflicts in ʿĀʾid ilā Ḥayfā from a Freudian Perspectivev Anggi Yulia Sari; Mohamad Rohman; Yetti Hasnah

Abstract

This study addresses the problem of how hidden emotional patterns operate within literary characters shaped by collective trauma, particularly in Ghassan Kanafani’s ʿĀʾid ilā Ḥayfā. It aims to analyze the forms and dynamics of these latent emotions in the characters of Said and Safiyya through Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic framework. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using intensive reading and systematic note-taking to interpret narrative elements and psychological expressions within the text. The findings reveal that trauma is manifested through the structural interaction of the Id, Ego, and Superego. Said demonstrates a dominant Ego pattern, rationalizing instinctive impulses and moral pressures into ideological reasoning. In contrast, Safiyya reflects an Ego collapse marked by panic, which is ultimately stabilized by the Superego through maternal responsibility. These dynamics illustrate the internal struggle between personal desire, moral obligation, and historical burden. The study contributes to literary criticism by offering a psychoanalytic interpretation of post-Nakba identity formation and highlighting how individual psychological conflict mirrors broader collective fragmentation in Palestinian society.
