Core Subject : Education,
Learning, Media and Technology in Arabic Education to stimulate debate on digital media, digital technology and digital cultures in arabic education. The journal seeks to include submissions that take a critical approach towards all aspects of education and learning, digital media and digital technology in Arabic education - primarily from the perspective of the social sciences, humanities and the art of learning Arabic. The journal has a long heritage in the areas of media education, media and cultural studies, Arabic language learning methods, Arabic language skills, design studies and general arabic education studies. As such, Learning, Media and Technology in Arabic Education is not a generic ‘Ed Tech’ journal. We are not looking to publish context-free studies of individual technologies in individual institutional settings, ‘how-to’ guides for the practical use of technologies in the classroom, or speculation on the future potential of technology in arabic education. Instead we invite submissions which build on contemporary debates such as: The ways in which digital media interact with learning environments, educational institutions and Arabic educational cultures The changing nature of knowledge, learning and pedagogy in the digital age Digital media production, consumption and creativity in educational contexts How digital media are shaping (and being shaped by) educational practices in local, national and global contexts The ways in which digital media in education interact with issues of democracy and equity, social justice and public good

Abstract

Background of study: Many learners still encounter challenges in reading Arabic texts, often caused by limited vocabulary, low engagement, and instructional strategies that fail to connect with students' context and interests. Aims and scope of paper: This research seeks to examine how digital comics can function as an alternative learning medium to support the development of maharah qirā’ah by integrating visual narratives with textual elements. Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study relies on literature-based data and content analysis of Arabic-themed digital comics. Sources include previous studies, theoretical frameworks, and instructional media evaluations. Result: The findings suggest that digital comics contribute positively to student motivation and comprehension. The visual-verbal combination not only helps learners grasp meaning more effectively but also stimulates emotional and cognitive engagement. The comics’ narrative structure also supports moral and cultural literacy in a familiar, student-centered format. Conclusion: Integrating digital comics into Arabic reading lessons provides both pedagogical and affective benefits. Their alignment with multimedia learning theory highlights their potential to enhance not just understanding, but also the overall reading experience in a more dynamic and relevant way.

Abstract

Background of study : Arabic language learning often remains dominated by lecture-based methods, limiting student interaction and creativity. Applying Multiple Intelligences theory brings fresh possibilities to create more engaging and responsive classrooms. Aims and scope of paper: This study aims to examine how Arabic language instruction can be adapted using the Multiple Intelligences framework. It focuses on how instructional plans, classroom practices, and evaluation systems are designed to accommodate the varied cognitive strengths of students in Islamic secondary education. Methods:  A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving direct classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, and an indepth review of teaching documents such as lesson plans and syllabi. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman framework, which includes data condensation, presentation, and interpretation. Result: Findings show that integrating MI principles into Arabic instruction allows teachers to address learners’ dominant intelligences—particularly verballinguistic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Lessons become more participatory, and assessment methods are expanded beyond written tests to include portfolios, reflective journals, and performance-based tasks. Conclusion: By aligning Arabic language teaching with the principles of Multiple Intelligences, educators can foster a richer, more inclusive learning atmosphere. This approach encourages learners to engage with the material in ways that resonate with their natural strengths, making the process of language acquisition more meaningful and personal.

Abstract

ABSTRACT  Background of study: As Arabic spreads across continents, its instruction is increasingly shaped by global mobility and digital transformation. Yet, disparities in access, shifting dialects, and fragmented educational approaches continue to hinder consistent learning outcomes. Aims and scope of paper: This paper explores how Arabic language education can benefit from the synergy of artificial intelligence and culturally aware teaching methods. It seeks to uncover the extent to which digital innovations can bridge gaps in pedagogy, accessibility, and learner engagement across diverse cultural settings. Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive lens, the research draws on in-depth interviews with Arabic language educators in varied regions, supported by a review of academic sources and policy documents. Through thematic analysis, the study captures the nuances of technological integration and intercultural teaching challenges. Result: The study found that AI tools—such as language recognition systems and adaptive learning platforms—contribute positively to Arabic instruction by offering interactive, personalized experiences. However, their effectiveness is uneven, limited by digital infrastructure gaps, lack of teacher readiness, and insufficient context-sensitive materials. Nevertheless, some approaches—like translanguaging and AI-generated feedback—are showing encouraging results in addressing learner diversity and inclusion. Conclusion: While technology alone cannot solve the complexities of teaching Arabic in multicultural contexts, its thoughtful use alongside culturally grounded pedagogy presents a path forward. To build more equitable language learning systems, educational reforms must emphasize localized resources, teacher training, and inclusive digital access.

Abstract

Background: Arabic language learning in Indonesia has traditionally emphasized grammar and structural mastery, often separating linguistic instruction from learners’ spiritual motivation and cultural experience. In response, the Love-Based Curriculum seeks to reposition Arabic learning as a meaningful, value-oriented, and contextually grounded process. Despite its growing adoption, the conceptual foundations of this curriculum and its relevance within contemporary learning environments, including media- and technology-supported contexts, remain underexplored. Aims: This study aims to interpret how the Love-Based Curriculum integrates spiritual meaning-making and socio-cultural engagement into Arabic language learning and to examine how these dimensions may be supported within contemporary educational media and technology contexts to enhance learner motivation, character development, and communicative engagement. Methods: The study employs an interpretive, literature-based qualitative approach. Academic publications, curriculum policy documents, and theoretical works on holistic pedagogy, applied linguistics, cultural literacy, spirituality in education, and technology-mediated learning were analyzed using thematic content analysis to construct a coherent conceptual framework. Results: The analysis suggests that spiritual reflection fosters a deeper sense of purpose in learning Arabic, while cultural encounter strengthens learners’ confidence and communicative participation. Together, these elements form an integrated pedagogical orientation that moves beyond mechanical instruction. Educational media and digital technologies are conceptually positioned as mediating tools that can extend reflective practice, cultural interaction, and value-based learning when aligned with the curriculum’s spiritual and ethical orientation. Conclusion: The Love-Based Curriculum offers a theoretically grounded framework for Arabic language education by integrating spiritual depth, cultural awareness, and the potential of media- and technology-supported learning. Its conceptual contributions enrich discussions on holistic and value-based pedagogy in Arabic education, while future empirical research is recommended to examine classroom enactment and technology integration.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the memorization skills of Arabic mufradat (vocabulary) among seventh-grade students at MTs Bahjatul Ulum through the implementation of the Assamsiyah method. The main issue in Arabic language learning at the junior madrasah level often lies in the students’ weak mastery of vocabulary, which consequently affects other language skills such as reading (qirā’ah), writing (kitābah), speaking (kalām), and listening (istimā‘). The Assamsiyah method, developed through a musical and rhythmic approach, is believed to enhance students’ memory and retention of the mufradat being taught. This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted in two cycles over the course of one month, involving 20 seventh-grade students as research subjects. Data were collected through vocabulary memorization tests, observations, and interviews. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ memorization abilities from the first to the second cycle, both in terms of the number of vocabulary items remembered and their activeness during the learning process. Therefore, the application of the Assamsiyah method proved to be effective in enhancing students’ ability to memorize Arabic mufradat at the junior madrasah level

Abstract

Background: Arabic pop songs are easy to find and often listened to by students, and this makes them an interesting source of natural vocabulary exposure. Their wording tends to be simple and repetitive, which raises the question of whether they can support early stages of Arabic learning. Aims: The study aims to look more closely at the kind of vocabulary that appears in several well known Arabic songs and to consider whether the language they contain is appropriate for learners at the secondary level. Methods: A qualitative textual approach was used to examine two songs by Humood Al-Khudher. The lyrics were read and classified carefully, with attention to basic lexical categories such as verbs and nouns. The findings were then compared with vocabulary taught in MTs and introductory pesantren Arabic courses. Result: The two songs turned out to contain a range of familiar word forms, including common imperatives, simple verb patterns, and nouns that appear frequently in standard textbooks. The lines in both songs repeat key expressions, which makes the language easier for students to absorb. Their motivational themes also help maintain student interest. Conclusion: The study suggests that Arabic pop songs can serve as a useful additional source of vocabulary for secondary-level learners. Their clarity and tone make them suitable for classroom support materials, although further research inside the classroom is still needed to see how students respond when the songs are actually used in teaching.

Abstract

Background: Many discussions on the Qurans language focus on one linguistic aspect at a time, leaving the relationship between sound, structure, and meaning only lightly touched. Yet the strength of Quranic expression often comes from how these elements meet and support one another. Aims: This study seeks to understand how different layers of language, its sounds, word forms, sentence patterns, meanings, and rhetorical touches, come together to shape the tone and depth of the Quranic message. The intention is to see the text as a living linguistic whole rather than a set of separated features. Methods: Using a descriptive qualitative approach, several passages are examined through close reading. Attention is given to how particular sounds create emphasis, how word formations expand or narrow meaning, and how sentence order shapes the flow of an idea. These observations are then compared thematically to trace recurring tendencies across the text. Result: The analysis suggests that phonological choices often act as emotional cues. Morphology adds density to meaning, while shifts in syntax draw attention to specific ideas. Layers of semantic and rhetorical expression widen the space for interpretation. Together, these elements reveal a coordinated linguistic system rather than independent parts. Conclusion: The study shows that Quranic language works through an intertwined structure of sound, form, and meaning. This perspective offers a more holistic way to read the text and opens opportunities for further research on how language influences readers understanding and emotional response.
