Deden Marwaji, Abdurrahman, Ahmad Bukhori Muslim, Syaripudin Basyar — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to identify and analyze phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic errors in the writing of students of the Arabic Language Education Study Program. Language errors in Arabic academic writing by students are a significant challenge in advanced Arabic language learning. The method used is qualitative analysis with a descriptive approach, based on the corpus of student writing data in the writing skills course. The results of the study showed that syntactic errors were the most dominant (37.5%), followed by morphological (29.2%), phonological (16.7%), and semantic (16.7%). The main causal factors include mother tongue interference, the use of literal machine translators, low understanding of Arabic grammar rules, and minimal contextual practice. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for an integrative and communicative learning approach, with an emphasis on authentic text-based exercises, contrastive analysis strategies, and the use of interactive learning media to improve students' linguistic accuracy in writing Arabic academic texts.

Muhammad Zaidaan, Daffa Achmad Rivaldy, Sulton Hussain Az Zaky, Maswani — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Arabic holds a significant role in Islamic education, particularly at the junior secondary level in faith-based schools. Mastery of the language not only supports students’ linguistic competence but also deepens their understanding of Islamic teachings through religious texts. This exploration of Arabic language teaching practices at SMP Mawaddah, Depok, West Java, reveals various challenges faced by teachers and the strategies employed to overcome them. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through direct classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Key challenges include low student motivation and interest, limited instructional time, and diverse student backgrounds and proficiency levels. To address these obstacles, teachers implement personalized approaches, utilize simple and contextual learning media, enhance student motivation, and manage time efficiently. These findings offer a clear picture of the dynamics of Arabic language instruction in Islamic-based schools and encourage the adoption of more adaptive and effective teaching strategies.

Azmah al-Diqqah fi al-Tarjamah al-'Arabiyah al-Indonesia: Dirasah Naqdiyah Li Manhajiyah al-Tarjamah fi al-Siyaq al-Raqmi al-Mu'ashir

Andi Abdul Hamzah, Marwah Limpo — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Penelitian ini mengkaji krisis akurasi dalam terjemahan Arab-Indonesia di era digital kontemporer, dengan fokus pada tantangan yang muncul dari interaksi antara metodologi penerjemahan tradisional dan tuntutan komunikasi digital yang serba cepat. Latar belakang penelitian ini didorong oleh observasi akan maraknya ketidakakuratan dalam terjemahan Arab-Indonesia yang tersedia di berbagai platform digital, menimbulkan potensi kesalahpahaman informasi yang signifikan. Kurangnya studi komprehensif yang menelaah akar permasalahan ini, terutama dari perspektif metodologi tarjamah, menggarisbawahi urgensi penelitian ini. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi bentuk-bentuk ketidakakuratan yang paling dominan dalam terjemahan teks Arab ke dalam bahasa Indonesia pada platform digital kontemporer, menganalisis sejauh mana metodologi tarjamah tradisional berkontribusi terhadap krisis akurasi ini, dan merumuskan pendekatan metodologis kontemporer yang dapat diadopsi untuk meningkatkan akurasi terjemahan Arab-Indonesia dalam konteks komunikasi digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode telaah kritis kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis. Data dikumpulkan melalui analisis korpus terjemahan Arab-Indonesia dari berbagai platform digital populer, dilengkapi dengan tinjauan literatur komprehensif mengenai teori dan metodologi penerjemahan, baik tradisional maupun kontemporer. Analisis data melibatkan identifikasi pola-pola ketidakakuratan, pembandingan dengan prinsip-prinsip metodologi tarjamah, dan sintesis pendekatan inovatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketidakakuratan dominan meliputi kesalahan leksikal, sintaksis, pragmatis, dan kultural, yang sering kali diperparah oleh keterbatasan pemahaman kontekstual dan nuansa budaya. Metodologi tarjamah tradisional, meskipun memiliki fondasi kuat, terbukti kurang adaptif terhadap dinamika dan volume teks digital, terutama dalam hal kecepatan, diversitas genre, dan pemanfaatan teknologi. Berdasarkan temuan ini, kesimpulan penelitian merekomendasikan adopsi pendekatan metodologis kontemporer yang mengintegrasikan kecerdasan buatan, penerjemahan berbasis korpus, dan pemahaman lintas budaya yang mendalam, serta menekankan pentingnya pengembangan kompetensi penerjemah yang tidak hanya menguasai bahasa tetapi juga teknologi dan konteks digital

Salvia Herdiani, Maswani, Syifa Bilqis Tsaniya, Muhammad Refaldi — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study explores the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum) in Arabic language learning at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 11 Jakarta, a pivotal shift in Indonesia's education system aimed at fostering deeper learning and teacher autonomy. The research primarily sought to understand how the curriculum is implemented, the major challenges teachers face, and the innovative strategies employed to overcome these barriers. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data was meticulously collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and comprehensive document analysis, involving both teachers and students.

Key findings reveal that teachers encounter significant challenges, including limited relevant resources, low communicative interaction, and students' perception of Arabic merely as a formal

obligation, compounded by heterogeneous student backgrounds. Despite these hurdles, teachers demonstrated remarkable initiative, developing innovative differentiation strategies like contextual videos, intensive study groups, and digital projects. These approaches notably boosted student motivation and confidence, demonstrating the curriculum's adaptive potential. The study concludes that the successful implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka critically depends on proactive teacher agency and creative adaptation to complex realities, underscoring the need for synergistic support in policy, resources, and training.

THE INFLUENCE OF USING THE BOOK 'USLUB NAHWU' IN ARABIC LANGUAGE LEARNING TO IMPROVE SPEAKING SKILLS (MAHARAH KALAM) AT SUMATERA THAWALIB PARABEK

Rizka Aulia, Rita Febrianta — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

One of the main problems in teaching Arabic at this school is that students do not understand Uslub Nahwu (Arabic grammatical style), which causes their speaking skills to remain low. In the textbook Silsilah al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah, the material on Uslub Nahwu is mentioned only briefly without examples or clear explanations of how to use it. As a result, students struggle to apply correct grammatical structures in spoken Arabic. Therefore, the researcher aims to implement the “Uslub Nahwu” material in this school so that students can fully understand its forms and applications. This study used a quantitative research method with an experimental approach and a quasi-experimental design. The participants were divided into an experimental class and a control class, using tests and documentation as research instruments. The results showed that the use of Uslub Nahwu had a significant positive effect on improving students’ speaking skills. This was supported by the F-test results (F = 8.652; sig. 0.05) and the t-test results (t = 6.596; sig. 0.000). The findings indicate that the better the students understand Uslub Nahwu, the more their speaking ability improves. Thus, Uslub Nahwu is proven to be an important factor in developing students’ speaking skills in learning Arabic.

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS FACING DIFFICULTIES IN LEARNING ARABIC IN STUDENTS OF MUHAMMADIYAH 1 JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, JAMBI CITY

Muhtadi Ahmad Marzuki , Boby Faizal, Muhammad Al–Baraqah — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The results of the study indicate that students have difficulty in mastering Arabic vocabulary and writing, repetition of material outside of class hours is still very rare, and students' interest and motivation to learn Arabic is still very low. In this case, the school (teacher) applies a strategy that was previously used when he himself studied. The main strategy is to increase vocabulary repetition and practice exercises. Learning a language, especially Arabic, is closely related to memorization and understanding of vocabulary. Therefore, students are directed to memorize as many words as possible every day. Arabic language learning at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Kota Jambi according to the teacher has been carried out quite effectively. This shows that in terms of system and implementation, the school has supported this subject as part of the local content curriculum. However, this effectiveness is not only determined by the teacher or system, but also depends on each student. This means that students' personal motivation and interests greatly determine whether they will succeed in understanding and mastering Arabic or not
