<![CDATA[This study investigates grammar teaching methods based on al-Naẓm al-ʿUmariṭī as presented on the “al-Salāsil wa al-Durūs wa al-Qawāʾim al-ʿIlmiyyah” YouTube channel. Grammar is a core discipline in Arabic that enhances linguistic accuracy and comprehension, yet its teaching faces challenges from teachers, students, and curriculum aspects. Students often perceive grammar as difficult, reducing motivation. Teaching issues include the lack of systematic progression, inappropriate textbooks, and unsuitable instructional methods. This study aims to provide recommendations for improving grammar instruction. It uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation of recorded lessons and analyzed descriptively. The findings show that the teacher’s objectives are to support understanding of the Qur’an, Sunnah, and scholarly interpretations. The teaching methods include practical explanation, lecturing, questioning, and discussion, along with reinforcement techniques. However, no instructional media are used.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the challenges faced by Arabic language teachers in the digital era at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Palembang. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with an Arabic language teacher and analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis. The findings reveal three primary challenges: low student motivation driven by online gaming and unregulated social media use, limited Arabic literacy particularly among students from non-pesantren backgrounds, and the demands of adaptive classroom management. In response, the teacher has implemented varied pedagogical strategies including mufrodat songs, ice-breaking activities, Canva-based visual media, interactive quizzes via Quizizz, and the Arabic Club application. The school also provides robust digital infrastructure such as Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, tablets, and the Pijar evaluation application. Notably, students' digital competencies, when strategically channeled into creative projects, can be transformed from distractions into valuable learning assets. The study concludes that technological advancement functions as a double-edged sword in Arabic language education, offering innovative opportunities while introducing new complexities that demand sustained pedagogical creativity and professional adaptation from teachers.]]>

<![CDATA[The phenomenon of sentence structure usage is frequently found in the context of Arabic literary works, in which the construction of linguistic elements such as verbs and nouns demonstrates a clear relationship within a narrative, thereby reflecting the semantic relationship between the agent, the action, and the consequence. This can be observed in one form of literary work, namely the short story. The purpose of this study is to uncover and describe the sentence structure specifically the modal elements in the short story “Yad al-Qadar” by Muhammad Husain Haikal through the lens of Charles J. Fillmore’s Case Grammar. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The primary data source consists of the narrative from the short story “Yad al-Qadar”, while the secondary data sources include books, journals, scientific articles, and previous studies relevant to this research. Data were collected through the read-and-record technique, and data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, presentation of the reduced data, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study reveal 33 data points reflecting modality. The modalities identified consist of five types: tense, aspect, negation, adverb, and mood. It is hoped that the results of this study will enrich linguistic research, particularly in the field of case grammar as applied to Arabic literary works, and provide a deeper understanding of the role of modality in constructing meaning, the sequence of events, and the relationships between characters in literary texts.]]>

<![CDATA[Teaching writing at a boarding school is a necessary subject at boarding school. As an essential part of developing writing skills. However, the reality shows that the quality of students' insya’ writing is still low. This is due to many students struggling to develop appropriate sentences and write correct paragraphs. To address this issue, there are various techniques that can be used to teach writing, one of which is the Listing technique. This technique is designed to make it easier for students to organize their ideas and help them learn to write in a more structured manner. This research is an action study conducted in the fifth grade of Pondok Pesantren Ridho Allah Perlabian Luar. The results of this study indicate that the writing skills of students in that class have significantly improved, with an initial average score of 56.36. In the first cycle of the first meeting, the average score increased to 68.18, although 7 students had not yet reached completeness. In the first cycle of the second meeting, the average score reached 68.64, with 6 students still not complete. Then, in the second cycle of the first meeting, the average score for kitabah insya’ rose to 77.27, with 4 students who had not yet reached completeness. In the second cycle of the second meeting, the average score reached 84.18, where only 3 students were still not complete. The conclusion of this study is that the application of the Listing technique in teaching kitabah insya’ to students can improve their writing learning outcomes.]]>
