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

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.

Abstract

Arabic learning plays a strategic role in religious scholarship, intercultural communication, and global engagement in Indonesia. Despite extensive research on Arabic pedagogy, limited attention has been given to students’ future-oriented expectations across higher education institutions. This study investigates the expectations of Arabic language students in four Islamic universities in Metro, Indonesia, using the Scale to Assess Possible Selves (SAPS). The findings reveal that although students’ current conditions are weakly associated with their learning expectations, there is a significant collective shift toward higher future aspirations. The ideal self emerges as a strongest motivational predictor than the ought-to self, indicating that positive future self-visions play a central role in shaping engagement and long-term commitment. However, a discrepancy remains between students’ self-concepts and their actual learning experiences. The study underscores the importance of strengthening reflective mentoring, curriculum alignment, and authentic learning exposure to foster sustainable motivation, professional identity formation, and academic development among Arabic language students in the contemporary global context.

Abstract

 This study explores the lived learning experiences of non-pesantren students in Arabic language learning alongside pesantren students at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo. Although previous studies have examined learning difficulties and competency disparities in Arabic language learning, limited attention has been paid to how non-pesantren students interpret their socio-academic experiences in heterogeneous classrooms. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study involved 20 non-pesantren students. Data were collected through reflective forms and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings reveal that differences in educational background create initial competency gaps that shape students’ psychological and socio-academic experiences. Non-pesantren students initially experienced anxiety and low self-confidence; however, these challenges also fostered motivation and academic adaptation. Interaction with pesantren peers functioned as academic support through collaborative learning and peer assistance. Students also developed self-regulated learning strategies by utilizing digital resources and peer discussions. The study contributes to Arabic language learning research by demonstrating that heterogeneous classrooms function as spaces for academic identity negotiation, peer-mediated adaptation, and learner agency. Therefore, inclusive instructional management is needed to accommodate students from diverse educational backgrounds.

Abstract

Research on Arabic language education has largely focused on instructional strategies and curriculum implementation, while limited attention has been given to teachers’ agency in designing micro-curricula within interest-based learning programs. This study explores how teachers design and enact micro-curricula and how these practices contribute to student engagement and achievement in an interest-based Arabic learning program. Employing a qualitative case study, the research involved a program coordinator, two supervising teachers, and seven students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic procedures adapted from Creswell’s qualitative framework. The findings indicate that teachers exercise substantial agency as micro-curriculum designers by developing learning content aligned with students’ interests, including af‘āl yaumiyyah, ibārah qaṣīrah, muḥādathah, khiṭābah, and qirā’at al-akhbār. The curriculum is enacted through communicative pedagogies, particularly the direct method, drills, and collaborative learning activities tailored to learners’ characteristics. These practices foster students’ communicative competence, self-confidence, and motivation to use Arabic actively. The effectiveness of the program is reflected in students’ success in securing thirteen awards in district- and provincial-level Arabic competitions. This study contributes to the literature by conceptualizing teachers as active micro-curriculum designers whose pedagogical decisions shape learner engagement and achievement in specialized Arabic learning contexts.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly being integrated into language learning; however, empirical evidence regarding their use in Arabic grammar and translation (Nahwu wa Tarjamah/I‘rab) learning remains limited, particularly in Islamic higher education contexts. Existing studies have predominantly focused on general language learning applications, leaving insufficient understanding of how AI-supported platforms facilitate the learning of complex grammatical analysis and translation skills. This study aims to identify the AI-based platforms employed in I‘rab learning and examine their impact on students’ learning experiences and outcomes. A quasi-qualitative design was employed involving 30 fifth-semester students enrolled in the Nahwu course at STAIN Mandailing Natal. Data were collected through classroom observations, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that students utilized four categories of AI-supported resources: digital learning repositories, generative AI applications, machine translation tools, and Arabic grammar support websites. The integration of these technologies enhanced students’ awareness of digital learning resources, promoted autonomous learning practices, increased learning motivation, and received positive instructional support from lecturers. Furthermore, students demonstrated strong academic performance, achieving a mean final course score of 88.2 (A). This study contributes to the growing literature on AI-assisted Arabic language learning by providing empirical evidence of AI’s role as a digital scaffolding tool in facilitating the acquisition of advanced Arabic grammatical and translation competencies.
