Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of peer tutoring learning strategies in teaching Arabic grammar (nahwu) at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Lombok Tengah, West Nusa Tenggara. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. Research data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis to explore the effectiveness of the implementation of this strategy. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of peer tutoring strategies has a positive impact on student motivation and involvement in the learning process. Students who act as tutors show an increase in understanding the material because the peer teaching process strengthens their mastery of concepts. Conversely, students who become tutor participants feel more comfortable asking questions and discussing, thus accelerating their process of understanding the rules of nahwu. In addition, the collaborative atmosphere created during learning increases students' self-confidence and social skills. Peer tutoring strategies also help teachers overcome learning challenges, such as limited time to provide individual attention to each student. This study has implications for the recommendation of peer tutoring strategies as an innovative alternative in Arabic language learning that can be widely applied to support student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the construction of communicative competence in the teaching and learning of Arabic within the social context of the Sekarbela society in Mataram. They are famous for their long tradition of studying Arabic linguistics, including morphology, syntax, and rhetoric. This applies not only to educational institutions but also to society as a whole. The researchers sought to investigate whether it is possible to benefit from such a social context to build communicative competence in the Arabic language, by applying functional theory, which imposes the existence of an appropriate context for the natural use of the Arabic language in various linguistic situations. Multiple experiments have shown that teaching Arabic to non-native speakers by focusing on the practical aspect of the Arabic language strengthens learners mental, psychological and social abilities in dealing with the Arabic language, as stated in many studies. This study adopted a qualitative research approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The research results showed that the effectiveness of Arabic language learning is greatly influenced by the integration of local social and cultural contexts into the teaching process. The use of a communicative approach and social context-based teaching methods contributed to improving students' ability to understand and use Arabic more naturally. Additionally, the study recommends developing a curriculum that aligns with students' social communication needs to make the learning process more effective and practical.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the variation in Arabic language proficiency at Sekolah Indonesia Jeddah (SIJ). In the context of the students' social environment, challenges arise due to the duality of languages ??faced by students, where Indonesian is used as the language of instruction at school, while Arabic is the dominant language in the surrounding community. This causes significant variation in students' proficiency in formal Arabic (fushah). The research methods used include observation and interviews with students and teachers at SIJ. The results showed that grade XI students generally have lower Arabic language proficiency compared to grade XII students, which is influenced by their language preferences and social environment. Most students are more comfortable using English or Indonesian in everyday interactions, even though they live in an Arabic-speaking country. External factors also play an important role in the development of students' Arabic language skills. Social interactions outside the family environment, as well as early exposure to Arabic, have been shown to influence students' language skills. However, many Indonesian families in Saudi Arabia prefer to use Indonesian at home, which reduces students' opportunities to practice Arabic naturally. The national curriculum, which is more oriented towards Indonesian as the main language of instruction in learning, is also a factor that influences students' Arabic language skills. Arabic is taught as an additional subject, which has the potential to limit students' mastery of formal Arabic. This study is expected to provide insight into the development of more effective learning methods in improving students' Arabic language skills at SIJ.

Abstract

This study examines the application of cognitive theory in teaching Arabic at SMP-IT Al-Fajar Mataram. The main problem lies in the effectiveness of cognitive theory and the accompanying challenges within the context of language instruction. The study aims to identify the forms of cognitive theory implementation and the obstacles faced by both teachers and students. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the application of cognitive theory aligns with educational goals focused on meaning comprehension, knowledge construction, and active student engagement. However, its implementation still encounters several challenges, including variations in students’ cognitive abilities, limited time, lack of instructional media, low motivation, and difficulties in conducting higher-order thinking-based assessments. Therefore, the success of this theory’s implementation largely depends on the teacher’s creativity and the support of a collaborative learning environment.

Abstract

Diagnostic assessment plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, as it provides a foundation for adaptive, responsive, and differentiated learning. This study aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the role of diagnostic assessment in identifying students’ readiness, learning needs, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as their socio-emotional conditions. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with library research as the main method, this study analyzes various sources, including official modules from the Ministry of Education and Culture, scientific journals, reference books, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that diagnostic assessment, classified into cognitive and non-cognitive types, enables teachers to design effective instructional strategies, implement remedial and enrichment programs, and foster collaboration among educators. Despite its advantages, diagnostic assessment also presents challenges such as potential misinterpretation, time constraints, and the need for adequate teacher training. Overall, diagnostic assessment serves not only as an instrument to measure student readiness but also as a theoretical construct that bridges curriculum objectives with learner diversity, thereby strengthening the foundation of differentiated and holistic education in the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of the Grammatical hunting strategy in improving the reading ability of class VII D students of MTsN 2 Sidoarjo. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The Grammatical hunting strategy is implemented through activities to search for grammatical elements (fi'il, isim, and huruf) in the text that actively involve students, followed by group discussions and presentations of the analysis results. The research findings show a significant increase in students' ability to identify grammatical elements, from 29% to 73.5%, as well as an increase in reading comprehension completion reaching 61%. In addition, this strategy is proven to be able to foster critical thinking skills, strengthen motivation, and create more interactive learning. Thus, Grammatical hunting can be recommended as an effective, innovative learning method to improve the reading skills and grammatical comprehension of Arabic language students in Islamic junior high schools. The application of this method is expected to be a reference for educators to design more creative, participatory, and sustainable learning, as well as open up opportunities for further research in different educational contexts and levels.

Abstract

The learning of qawaid nahwu (Arabic grammar rules) constitutes a crucial foundation in Arabic language acquisition. However, the majority of Arabic learners face significant difficulties in mastering grammatical rules (nahwu). This is attributed to the fact that the teaching methods generally employed do not align with their linguistic and communicative needs. Based on this issue, this study aims to examine the methods used in teaching grammatical rules to provide guidance for instructors in adapting teaching strategies according to the diverse conditions and needs of learners. This study employs a descriptive-analytical method through literature review and previous research sourced from books, journals, and scientific articles discussing grammatical teaching methods. The findings reveal that there is a diversity of learning methods that can be utilized to facilitate the learning of grammatical rules. Among the most prominent are the deductive method, inductive method, modification method, activity method, and problem-solving method. This study also emphasizes the importance of selecting the most appropriate method based on learners' language proficiency levels, learning objectives, and existing learning environments. This study recommends the importance of training for Arabic language instructors for non-Arab speakers to enable them to vary teaching methods and implement modern strategies that can realize the integration of grammar mastery and linguistic communication simultaneously.

Abstract

Mastering fluency and pronunciation in Arabic poses a significant challenge for students, primarily due to a lack of practice and immediate feedback. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology, such as TalkPal AI, offers an interactive solution for practicing conversation; however, its effectiveness needs to be empirically investigated. This study aims to analyze the improvement in students' fluency and pronunciation through an intervention using TalkPal AI. The research employed a mixed methods approach with a convergent parallel design. Quantitative data were obtained from oral tests (pre-test and post-test) and analyzed using N-Gain and Paired Sample T-Tests, while qualitative data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and analyzed thematically. The results indicated a significant improvement in both fluency and pronunciation, as demonstrated by a moderate N-Gain score and the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) in the t-test. The qualitative findings revealed that this improvement was driven by the instant feedback feature, a low-pressure learning environment, and enhanced student confidence. Therefore, TalkPal AI is proven to be an effective learning tool that can comprehensively improve students' speaking competence.
