Abstract

Proficiency istima' (listening skills) is a core ability in learning Arabic, but it often faces obstacles due to conventional learning methods. This study aims to evaluate the urgency of interactive technology in improving istima' skills through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The analysis was conducted on 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria, including studies on interactive media such as YouTube, audio-visual platforms, multimedia-based applications, and e-learning. The results of the study show that interactive technology provides significant benefits, such as improving motivation, personalization of learning, and listening skills through a contextual and collaborative learning environment. Additionally, the technology supports students accessing materials flexibly and independently, allowing for a more effective learning experience. However, the effectiveness of the implementation of this technology is influenced by the supporting infrastructure and appropriate learning design. This study concludes that interactive technology is a complement and an essential element in istima' learning in the digital era. This study concludes that interactive technology is a complement and an essential element in istima' learning in the digital era.

Abstract

Arabic language textbooks play an essential role as instructional media because they provide learning materials designed to broaden students' knowledge and understanding. This study aims to evaluate the Grade VIII Arabic language textbook for Madrasah Tsanawiyah based on Minister of Religious Affairs Decree (KMA) No. 183 of 2019. The evaluation focuses on the textbook's strengths and weaknesses in material presentation, cognitive-supporting factors, and the presentation of assessment questions. This study employed a qualitative method using a library research approach and Krippendorff's content analysis framework. The primary data were obtained from the Grade VIII Arabic language textbook for Madrasah Tsanawiyah developed in accordance with KMA No. 183 of 2019, while the secondary data were derived from reference books, scholarly journals, papers, essays, articles, and relevant online sources related to the topic under investigation. The findings indicate that the Grade VIII Arabic language textbook based on KMA No. 183 of 2019 is generally appropriate for supporting the learning process of Grade VIII students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah. Nevertheless, further development and a more balanced distribution of learning materials are required to adequately support students' mastery of the four Arabic language skills. This study contributes to the evaluation and development of Arabic language textbooks by providing insights that may support improved textbook quality and enhance students' broader understanding of the Arabic language.

Abstract

Arabic maharah qira'ah learning plays an important role in developing students' literacy competence in madrasah education. However, the learning process still faces challenges, particularly related to students' limited active engagement in comprehending Arabic texts deeply. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the inquiry method on Arabic maharah qira'ah learning outcomes among eighth-grade students at MTs Negeri Samarinda. The study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test instruments administered to the experimental and control groups. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test and Mann–Whitney test due to the non-normal distribution of the data. The findings revealed that the experimental group's mean score increased from 91.85 to 97.41 after implementing the inquiry method, while the control group improved from 89.26 to 92.96. The Wilcoxon test indicated a significant difference in the experimental group (p = 0.039). However, the Mann–Whitney test showed that the difference in improvement between the experimental and control groups was not statistically significant. These findings indicate that the inquiry method has positive potential for improving Arabic reading achievement through more active and student-centered learning. Future research is recommended to involve larger samples and longer intervention periods to obtain more comprehensive evidence.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency (mahārah kalām) is an essential component of Arabic language learning, as it relates to students' ability to use the language for communication. However, Arabic language instruction in madrasahs continues to face several challenges, including students' limited confidence in speaking, restricted vocabulary mastery, and insufficient opportunities for direct communicative practice. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the question-and-answer method in mahārah kalām learning, identify students' responses, and examine the strengths and limitations of this method among seventh-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Rembang. This research employed a qualitative approach using a field research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that the question-and-answer method was implemented through three stages of learning activities, namely the introductory stage, core learning activities, and closing activities, involving active interaction between teachers and students through the use of simple Arabic expressions. Students demonstrated positive responses toward this method, as it enhanced their participation, speaking confidence, and opportunities for oral practice. Nevertheless, several challenges remained, including limited self-confidence, inadequate vocabulary acquisition, differences in students' language abilities, and the need for extended instructional time. This study indicates that the question-and-answer method can serve as an alternative communicative learning strategy to support the development of mahārah kalām in Arabic language education.
