Abstract

Game-based learning has proven to be a good intersection between technology and education. This study investigates the potential of the Assassin's Creed: Mirage video game as a tool for Arabic language learning. The game was chosen due to Ubisoft’s first Arabic-themed and fully Arabic dubbed and subbed Assassin’s Creed game, released in 2023, set in 9th-century Baghdad. By using qualitative content analysis and following Ishaq’s serious language game model, the study examined how the game fulfills the criteria from academic goals, educational settings, cultural elements, and usability. Through the analysis of two missions, the study identified 679 key findings. Assassin’s Creed: Mirage (ACM) provides a rich Arabic language learning environment through in-game audio, subtitles, cultural elements, and interactions between players and non-playable characters (NPCs). These features allow players to experience language learning in a natural and immersive context, especially for comprehension learning. The finding demonstrates how this triple-A video game can aid language acquisition or provide Arabic teaching materials, making it a unique tool for Arabic learning in an engaging way. While the game appears to meet the criteria of Ishaq’s model, further research is needed to fully assess its effectiveness as a learning tool for Arabic language learners.

Abstract

Indonesian serves as both the primary means of communication and the mother tongue for the majority of the country's population. However, this is not the case for the community in Parmeraan Village, North Padang Lawas, where Arabic is adopted as the first language for their children. This study aims to explore the underlying reasons behind parents' decision to designate Arabic as their children's first language and the role of religious educational institutions in fostering the development of Arabic in the village. Employing a qualitative approach with netnographic methods, data collection was conducted through observations of social media accounts and interviews with informants. The findings reveal that a deep appreciation for Arabic, its use as a medium for memorizing the Qur'an, and the influence of alumni from Middle Eastern institutions are key factors behind parents' decisions to make Arabic their children's first language (L1). Religious educational institutions play a vital role in advancing Arabic as a cornerstone of civilization in Parmeraan Village by creating a language-rich environment and enhancing awareness and motivation to learn Arabic. The implications of this study highlight that religious awareness and parental education play a significant role in shaping children's language preferences, which can be broadly applied to efforts aimed at enhancing religious literacy through Arabic language acquisition.

Abstract

In an era of globalization marked by developments in technology and cross-cultural communication, Arabic faces significant challenges in maintaining its relevance and appeal among the Alpha generation. The generation born between 2010-2024 is the first generation that has been thoroughly exposed to digital technology from birth, with characteristics that are very different from previous generations. This research aims to analyze the Alpha Generation's perception of Arabic through a psycho-sociolinguistic approach, which examines psychological (interest, motivation and attitudes) and social (influence of the environment, media and global culture) aspects in learning Arabic. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and observations of Generation Alpha students in an Islamic-based education environment. The research results show that the Alpha generation's perception of Arabic is influenced by three main factors: digital exposure, individual psychological constructs, and socio-cultural context. Most of the Alpha Generation have motivation to learn Arabic which is influenced by religious factors, but negative perceptions of the difficulty of this language often reduce their interest. This research is expected to provide new theoretical contributions in understanding the dynamics of language perception in the digital native generation and practical implications for the development of more contextual and innovative Arabic language teaching methods.

Abstract

Despite the growing recognition of multicultural values in education, Arabic reading materials that explicitly incorporate multicultural themes remain limited, especially within Islamic higher education. This study aims to fill this gap by: (1) designing a multicultural-based reading syllabus, (2) developing appropriate reading materials, (3) assessing the feasibility of both, and (4) evaluating their effectiveness in improving students’ reading skills. Employing a mixed-methods approach with field research, the development follows Borg and Gall’s ten-step model. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and reading tests, involving second-semester students from classes A7 and A8 of the Islamic Education Program at FTIK, IAIN Jember. Results show that the syllabus aligns with subject-centered design and KKNI standards, while the developed materials reflect multicultural values such as tolerance, justice, equality, and humanity. Statistical analysis confirms a significant improvement in students’ reading abilities after using the materials. The study concludes that integrating multicultural themes into Arabic reading instruction not only enhances language proficiency but also cultivates inclusive and culturally responsive learning. These findings suggest the potential for broader implementation of multicultural approaches in Arabic language curricula across Islamic higher education institutions.

Abstract

Learning Arabic through immersion programs has a significant impact on improving language skills. This study explores the differences in the implementation of immersion programs between domestic and foreign institutions with a focus on teacher performance and student achievement. The lack of comparative studies in this area motivates more in-depth analyses to understand the variation in effectiveness. The literature study approach compares teaching practices and learning outcomes in both contexts. The study results revealed that the immersion program improved students' Arabic language skills by up to 54.0%. However, there was a variation in success between domestic and international institutions. This difference is mainly due to different teaching approaches and the use of learning media. Teachers abroad use student-centred communicative methods, while traditional methods dominate domestically. In addition, the use of educational technology is more optimal abroad, which has an impact on student learning outcomes. This study's implications emphasise adapting immersion programs tailored to local characteristics. The exchange of best practices between domestic and foreign institutions and the continuous training of teachers is essential to improve the effectiveness of Arabic language learning globally.

Abstract

In this modern era, there are many challenges in implementing Arabic language learning, particularly in Arabic text literacy activities. Literacy is not just about reading but also understanding what is read, both from a grammatical and content perspective. In Arabic itself, to train literacy, there is the Muthala'ah learning method. Muthala'ah learning not only focuses on teaching the proper reading of Arabic texts but is also accompanied by the exploration of morphology, syntax, and the meaning of the text being read. Therefore, to make Muthala'ah learning relevant and engaging for today’s time, this study aims to describe the development of Muthala'ah teaching materials based on 21st-century skills. The method used in this research is Design-Based Research (DBR) with descriptive data analysis. The results of this study include examples of Muthala'ah texts that are based on 21st-century skills, which include communicative, creative, collaborative, and critical thinking indicators. The presentation of the texts is also accompanied by visuals relevant to the text and explanations of several vocabulary words considered difficult. The findings highlight the importance of integrating 21st-century skills in Muthala'ah teaching, enhancing engagement, comprehension, and critical thinking, while visuals and vocabulary support improve accessibility and learning effectiveness.

Abstract

Mastering a foreign language requires not only memorization but also overcoming deeply ingrained linguistic habits. For Banjar learners studying Arabic, phonological and grammatical challenges pose significant barriers to fluency. This study explores the phonological and grammatical errors encountered by Banjar learners in Arabic speaking skills at Pesantren Darullughah Wadda'wah Putri. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, it identifies the prevalent types of errors, their underlying causes, and potential pedagogical strategies for improvement. The findings reveal significant phonological issues, including substitutions of Arabic phonemes influenced by the Banjar dialect, as well as grammatical inconsistencies due to overgeneralization and limited exposure to authentic Arabic structures. The study highlights native language interference, lack of phonetic training, and psychological barriers, such as fear of criticism, as primary causes of these challenges. Proposed solutions include intensive phonetic drills, immersive language environments, context-based grammar instruction, and the integration of cultural and technological resources. This research contributes to Arabic language pedagogy by providing targeted strategies to enhance the proficiency of Banjar learners, bridging linguistic gaps while respecting their cultural identity.

Abstract

Arabic writing skills are crucial for Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) students however, many still face challenges in mastering them, including those at MTs Al Hikmah Bandar Lampung. A key factor contributing to these difficulties is the students' limited foundational knowledge of the Arabic language. The Imla' Manzhur learning method is regarded as an important subject of research due to its potential to enhance students' writing abilities through visual memory reinforcement and direct writing practice. This research examines the impact of the Imla' Manzhur approach on enhancing seventh grade students' ability to write in Arabic at MTs Al Hikmah Bandar Lampung. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing a simple experimental design. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Imla' Manzhur method significantly improved students' writing proficiency, as evidenced by the post-test average score of the experimental group reaching 80.00, compared to 59.64 in the control group. Statistical analysis using a t-test revealed a significant result (p < 0.05), confirming the method's effectiveness in Arabic language instruction. These findings suggest that the Imla' Manzhur method can serve as a valuable recommendation for Arabic language teaching in madrasah.

Abstract

Vocabulary is a crucial component of language acquisition and plays a key role in communicative competence. Mastery of Arabic vocabulary significantly influences overall language skills, making it essential for teachers to understand a variety of effective vocabulary teaching methods. This study aims to explore various Arabic vocabulary learning strategies by reviewing scientific articles published in Sinta 2 and Sinta 3 indexed journals between 2020 and 2024. The research employs a literature review method with a systematic approach based on Gough’s eight-step procedure. A total of 14 articles were analyzed to identify vocabulary learning strategies commonly applied. The findings reveal eight main methods: the use of mnemonic songs, Total Physical Response (TPR), sentence construction and writing techniques, language games, the Visual Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) learning model, Think-Pair-Share strategy, cooperative learning, and imitation-based memorization. Additionally, the integration of digital tools such as Wordwall and online games proved to enhance vocabulary acquisition and learner motivation. These findings provide valuable insights for Arabic language teachers in selecting methods that align with learners’ characteristics and needs. The study recommends the adoption of varied and technology-supported approaches to improve the effectiveness of Arabic vocabulary learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Instagram as an innovative medium for enhancing Arabic vocabulary mastery among university students in Islamic higher education. Despite the growing integration of digital tools in education, vocabulary instruction in Arabic courses remains dominated by rote memorization and teacher-centered methods, often resulting in low motivation and limited retention. Instagram, popular among students, offers interactive and visual features that could support more engaging and flexible language learning, yet remains underexplored in this context. Focusing on students in the Natural Sciences Education Program at a State Islamic Institute in Indonesia, this study employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model involving data reduction, display, and verification. Findings show that Instagram enhances vocabulary learning through its accessibility, content variety, and alignment with student preferences. The platform fosters increased motivation, creativity, and engagement, while its visual and interactive nature supports vocabulary comprehension and retention. This study contributes to the field of technology-assisted Arabic instruction by addressing a gap in empirical research on social media use in Islamic higher education. It highlights the pedagogical potential of integrating familiar digital platforms like Instagram to support more autonomous and effective language learning.
