Abstract

Arabic morphology (Ṣarf) is widely regarded as one of the most challenging components of Arabic language learning, often resulting in low learner confidence and limited engagement. Despite the growing adoption of gamification in language education, empirical evidence regarding its influence on learners’ self-efficacy in Arabic morphology remains scarce. This study examines the effectiveness of gamified learning in enhancing students’ self-efficacy in Ṣarf instruction. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed involving 50 undergraduate students enrolled in an Arabic Language Education program. Participants were assigned to experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a validated self-efficacy questionnaire and supported by qualitative reflections. Instrument validity was established through expert review, while reliability was confirmed using Cronbach’s Alpha. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired-samples and independent-samples t-tests, complemented by qualitative thematic analysis. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups, with students exposed to gamified learning demonstrating higher levels of self-efficacy (p = 0.026). Qualitative evidence further indicated that gamified activities promoted engagement, challenge, and sustained learning motivation, which strengthened learners’ confidence in mastering morphological concepts. These findings suggest that gamified learning represents an effective pedagogical approach for fostering self-efficacy in Arabic language education. The study contributes to the emerging literature on gamification by providing empirical evidence from Arabic morphology instruction, a context that remains underrepresented in current research.

Abstract

The teaching of Arabic speaking skills (Mahārah Kalām) often faces persistent challenges, particularly among learners in non-Arabic speaking environments who struggle to achieve fluency despite adequate grammatical knowledge. To address this gap, this study investigates the pedagogical potential of Arabic proverbs (al-amthāl al-‘arabiyyah) as culturally grounded tools for enhancing oral proficiency. Using a qualitative research design, the study was conducted with 30 undergraduate students of Arabic Language Education at Darullughah Wadda’wah International Islamic University. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal three major outcomes: increased fluency and confidence through access to ready-made linguistic chunks, heightened cultural awareness and rhetorical sensitivity by engaging with moral and social values embedded in proverbs, and challenges in figurative comprehension and pragmatic application, which necessitate explicit instructional scaffolding. Despite these challenges, proverb-based pedagogy was shown to foster spontaneous communication, intercultural competence, and learner motivation. The study concludes that Arabic proverbs represent an effective pedagogical resource bridging linguistic knowledge and authentic oral expression, offering practical implications for Arabic language educators to integrate proverbs systematically into speaking activities and assessments.

Abstract

Despite growing evidence supporting game-based learning in second-language education, research on non-digital social deduction games for Arabic speaking development remains limited, particularly from integrated psycholinguistic and pragmatic perspectives in Islamic boarding school contexts. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Werewolf role-playing game in enhancing Arabic speaking proficiency through psycholinguistic and pragmatic lenses. Employing a mixed-methods one-group pretest–posttest design, the study involved 30 students at Darullughah Wadda’wah Islamic Boarding School who participated in twelve weekly Werewolf sessions within a maharah kalām course. Data were collected through speaking tests, classroom observations, audio recordings, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, Levelt’s speech production model, and Searle’s speech act theory. The findings indicate a 43% improvement in students’ fluency and confidence scores from pre-test to post-test. The game reduced speaking anxiety, increased spontaneous lexical retrieval, and encouraged active participation in Arabic interaction. Pragmatic analysis revealed the frequent emergence of assertive (31%), directive (28%), expressive (18%), commissive (14%), and declarative (9%) speech acts, demonstrating learners’ growing ability to persuade, negotiate, justify, and manage conversational exchanges. This study proposes a psychopragmatic model of Arabic speaking development in which affective engagement, real-time speech processing, and pragmatic meaning-making interact within a culturally grounded learning environment, highlighting the pedagogical potential of non-digital role-playing games for authentic Arabic communication.

Abstract

This study investigates the pedagogical value of Procreate-based material design for Arabic language education within an Islamic boarding school. Addressing the gap in visually rich, learner-created resources for Arabic, we implemented a four-week mixed-methods intervention with 40 intermediate learners using a station-rotation model (five iPads across five groups). Procreate tasks focused on illustrated vocabulary cards, posters, and short dialogues, grounded in Multimedia Learning and constructivist principles. Quantitative results show significant vocabulary gains from pre-test (M = 62.4, SD = 8.2) to post-test (M = 79.6, SD = 6.9), t (39) = 7.81, p < .001, Cohen’s d = 0.97. Observational indicators of engagement rose 35–47.5% (e.g., peer collaboration = 92.5%, creative initiative = 70% by Week 4). Student surveys indicated high acceptance (overall M = 4.45/5), and external ratings of digital portfolios were strong (overall quality M = 8.4/10), with cultural appropriateness highest (M = 8.9). Qualitative data highlighted increased orthographic awareness, aesthetic-mnemonic effects, and peer-mentored creativity despite device constraints. Findings suggest that Procreate can transform Arabic learning from text-centered delivery to multimodal, culturally grounded creation, enhancing motivation, memory, and participation. Limitations include limited devices and short duration; implications point to scalable integration of digital art for interactive Arabic pedagogy and teacher professional development.

Abstract

Although local wisdom has been widely integrated into flipbook e-modules across various disciplines, similar efforts remain scarce in Arabic language education particularly for the Acehnese context. This design-based study developed such a module and evaluated its feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness. Using the ADDIE model with 30 PGMI students (purposive sampling), data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, N-Gain, paired-sample t-test, and Cohen's d. The results were: material expert validation 4.65 (very feasible), media expert 4.75, student response 4.78 (very good). N-Gain was 0.72 (high), with a significant t-test (t(29)=8.94; p<0.001) and a large effect size (Cohen's d=1.63). Due to the absence of a control group, these findings indicate a strong positive trend rather than absolute causal evidence. Theoretically, this study extends the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning through the cultural bridge hypothesis: culturally familiar content activates pre-existing knowledge schemata, reduces cognitive load, and strengthens dual-channel processing (verbal and visual). Globally, this module offers a replicable model for integrating indigenous knowledge into foreign language instruction, addressing cultural disconnects in non-Arab Muslim-majority countries. This research confirms that combining interactive flipbook technology with local wisdom is an effective strategy for creating relevant, engaging, and impactful language learning for the digital generation.

Abstract

A gap analysis of the literature indicates that while research on the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum is well-documented, its integration with the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, particularly in Arabic language learning, remains under-investigated. This qualitative case study aims to analyze the implementation process of the Merdeka Curriculum integrated with TPACK in Arabic language instruction at a Madrasah Aliyah in Southeast Sulawesi. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that TPACK integration is operationalized through three main practices: (1) The application of student-centered learning using digital platforms like Quizizz to stimulate critical and creative thinking through scenario-based tasks, multimedia prompts, instant feedback, and self-paced learning; (2) Adaptive learning tailored to student development stages, characterized by the teacher's ability to balance content, pedagogy, and technology, utilizing WhatsApp for consultation; and (3) Inter-teacher collaboration in developing syllabi, teaching materials, and assessments using WhatsApp Groups and Google Classroom. This study concludes that TPACK integration can be effectively embodied within the Merdeka Curriculum through integrated pedagogical strategies and contextualized use of technology.

Abstract

The gap in research on Arabic language interference in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) lies in the predominant focus on formal classroom contexts, while understanding of its manifestation in daily informal communication remains limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating interference from Indonesian into Arabic during non-classroom interactions among female students (santri putri) of the Modern Robithoh Islamic Boarding School in Bandung. Using an intrinsic qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed interactively. The findings reveal phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic interference, influenced by first language dominance, limited Arabic proficiency, psychological factors, and the sociolinguistic environment. These interference patterns negatively affect fluency and accuracy in Arabic. In response, the boarding school implements language development and immersion programs. This study highlights its novelty by exploring interference in the informal domain and recommends broader comparative studies and the integration of digital media to enhance communicative competence.

Abstract

The increasing diversification of Arabic language education in Islamic higher education has generated competing learning paradigms that often operate in isolation and produce fragmented learner competencies. This study critically examines three dominant paradigms of Arabic language learning at the State Islamic Institute of Kerinci: Religious-Linguistics, the Interdisciplinary Approach, and Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP). Employing a qualitative critical review design, the study analyzes the epistemological foundations, pedagogical orientations, strengths, and limitations of each paradigm within contemporary Arabic language education. The findings reveal that the Religious-Linguistics paradigm effectively develops classical textual literacy and Islamic scholarship but provides limited support for communicative competence in modern contexts. The Interdisciplinary Approach enhances academic relevance across disciplines, yet its engagement with turāth-based literacy remains insufficient. Meanwhile, ASP strengthens professional and academic communication skills but tends to emphasize technical language functions at the expense of broader epistemological and value-oriented dimensions. The analysis demonstrates that the separation of these paradigms contributes to an imbalance in students’ intellectual, communicative, and professional competencies. In response, this study proposes an Integrative Arabic Learning Paradigm that synthesizes epistemological, dialogical, and pragmatic dimensions into a unified framework. This model offers a conceptual foundation for developing more holistic, context-responsive, and globally competitive Arabic language curricula in Islamic higher education.

Abstract

The competence of writing narratives in Arabic requires mastery of developing complex ideas and linguistic structures. This qualitative study aims to analyze the responses, impacts, and challenges of implementing contextual learning through writing autobiographical narrative texts based on book chapter media for university students. The participants were 63 fifth-semester students of Arabic Language Education at Universitas Islam Negeri Imam Bonjol Padang. Data were collected through observation, book chapter document analysis, and qustionnaire, then analyzed thematically. The results revealed three main findings: first, contextualization of personal experiences increased self-efficacy and emotional engagement in the writing process; second, there was a significant increase in syntactic complexity and variation of Arabic sentence structures; third, book chapter media facilitated creative expression through experimentation with paragraph and visual design. However, challenges arose in aspects of grammatical accuracy and internalization of Arabic rhetorical rules. This study concludes that the book chapter-based contextual approach has the potential as an innovative pedagogical model that integrates writing skill development with linguistic identity formation. Further research with a mixed-methods design is recommended to quantitatively measure the model's effectiveness and explore its application in other language learning contexts.

Abstract

The limited availability of Arabic listening materials integrated with interactive digital technologies remains a significant challenge in enhancing listening proficiency among students in the Arabic Language Education Program at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Existing resources often lack accessibility, engagement, and alignment with learning outcomes. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based Arabic listening e-module, E-sama’iy, utilizing ElevenLabs technology and structured listening activities, and to examine its effectiveness in improving students’ listening skills. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the ADDIE model, the study was conducted through five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The feasibility of the module was assessed through expert validation, while its effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test scores of second-semester students. The findings revealed that the developed e-module was highly feasible, obtaining an average validation score of 92%. Students’ listening achievement improved substantially, with mean scores increasing from 55.4 in the pre-test to 85.9 in the post-test, accompanied by an N-Gain score of 0.68, indicating moderate-to-high improvement. Furthermore, students reported highly positive perceptions (91.88%), particularly regarding motivation, engagement, and comprehension. These findings demonstrate that E-sama’iy is an effective digital learning resource for enhancing Arabic listening skills and supporting AI-assisted language learning.
