Abstract

As social beings who depend on the relationships of others, human needs communication. In social interactions, not least in education, language is primarily used as a tool. Individuals who experience language difficulties will have difficulty in conveying their thoughts or ideas to others.  As a result, communication becomes less than optimal and sometimes fails. In this case, communication is not just a matter of one-way message delivery, but also involves the exchange of mutually understood contexts so that two-way communication occurs. To get the context of communication and become a competent communicator, pragmatics is necessary and one of the crucial ideas in pragmatics is the concept of speech acts. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the illocutionary speech acts and knowing the most frequently used acts contained in Natasha Berg's speech about ChatGPT using Searle and Yule's theory. This research used qualitative approach and content analysis as a research method. Following the analysis of illocutionary act of Natasha Berg's speech, the results presented that they were 62 speech utterances contained illocutionary acts. They were thirty-five assertives (56,45%), ten directives (16.12%), nine commisive (14.51%), seven expressive (11.29%) and one declarative (1.61%). The findings indicated that assertive was the most frequently seen illocutionary act during the speech since it provided the audience with factual information related to the facts of the use of ChatGPT in the school environment and its implications for students based on study and also field facts. By analyzing the illocutionary act, accurate communication and comprehension of the aim or purpose can be learned, enabling the intended outcome of communication to be achieved.

Abstract

Understanding the relationship between psycholinguistics and personality types in the comprehension of the Arabic language can help improve the effectiveness of language learning. This research aims to explore this relationship by focusing on how psycholinguistic factors and personality traits affect Arabic language acquisition and comprehension. Psycholinguistics studies how language is produced, understood, and acquired by individuals, while personality types encompass consistent characteristics that influence behavior and preferences. The research employed a qualitative approach, using a literature review method to gather and critically analyze relevant sources. The analysis aimed to identify correlations between psycholinguistics and personality types in the context of Arabic language learning. In Arabic language comprehension, psycholinguistics and personality type have a significant role. This study shows that individual personality types can affect vocabulary management, syntactic processing and semantic interpretation in Arabic. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the complexity of the relationship between language and human cognitive processes. In the context of Arabic language learning, it is important for individuals to understand their own personality types, as this will help them find effective learning methods and understand Arabic better.

Abstract

In the increasingly evolving world of education, the need to create a more flexible and contextual learning system is becoming more urgent. The Merdeka Belajar Curriculum, which provides freedom and independence for students, presents itself as a solution to address these challenges. However, the implementation of the right learning model in the context of Arabic language learning remains an issue that requires further exploration. This study aims to identify the development models of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum that are suitable for Arabic language learning. The research method used is library research with a qualitative descriptive design, where various literature and academic sources are analyzed to find the most effective model for implementing the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum in the context of Arabic language learning. The results show that the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model is one of the most suitable models for implementation in Arabic language learning. This model demands that students think critically, creatively, and innovatively in solving problems related to the use of the Arabic language. Furthermore, this approach aligns with the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum concept, which provides students the freedom to explore and develop their understanding according to the needs and context of the learning process. By implementing Problem-Based Learning, it is expected that Arabic language learning will become more interactive, applicable, and foster students' independence in understanding and effectively using the Arabic language.

Abstract

Amid the rapid globalization and technological advancements, Arabic language teaching in Indonesia still faces significant challenges, including the lack of effective textbooks that align with students' needs. This study aims to analyze the textbook Aku Cinta Bahasa Arab for Grade VI Madrasah Ibtidaiyah by Agus Wahyudi in terms of selection, gradation, repetition, and presentation of teaching materials. This topic was chosen due to the importance of developing high-quality textbooks to support the Arabic language learning process in Indonesia, particularly at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level. This research employs a qualitative approach with a literature study method, gathering and analyzing data from relevant textbooks and other supporting sources. The primary data analyzed is the Aku Cinta Bahasa Arab textbook published by PT Tiga Serangkai Pustaka Mandiri, along with secondary references that support this study. Data analysis is conducted using two main methods: content analysis and discourse analysis, to identify the characteristics of the teaching materials and the relationship between the messages in the textbook and students' understanding. The results indicate that the textbook meets the criteria for good selection, gradation, repetition, and presentation of material, with content appropriate for the cognitive development level of Grade VI students. However, there are some shortcomings, such as the absence of practice books and the lack of clear usage guidelines for teachers. This study concludes that although the textbook meets the standards as an effective learning resource, there are aspects that need improvement, such as the diversity of supporting media and consistency in visual presentation.

Abstract

Learning Arabic as a foreign language presents challenges due to its complex grammar, vocabulary, and speaking skills, often leading to low student motivation. Traditional teaching methods may not sufficiently engage students, which calls for innovative approaches to enhance learning. One such method is the use of Wordwall, a digital platform offering interactive educational games. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Wordwall in increasing students' enthusiasm and understanding of Arabic at MA Al-Bairuny. Using a classroom action research design, the research includes stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data was collected through pretests, posttests, observations, and questionnaires. The pretest and posttest were used to measure improvements in student understanding, while observations and questionnaires assessed their engagement. The results indicate that Wordwall significantly improved student learning outcomes, with 100% of students completing the posttest successfully, showing a marked improvement over the pretest. Additionally, most students reported that learning with Wordwall was more engaging and helped them understand the material better. Observations further revealed that students were more active in class compared to traditional methods. In conclusion, Wordwall is an effective tool for enhancing student motivation and understanding in Arabic learning. It is recommended as an innovative teaching strategy for educators, and future research should explore its impact on improving speaking and writing skills in Arabic.
