Adopting a quasi-experimental design with a quantitative approach, the study involved 40 ninth-grade students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest instruments. Results showed a notable increase in the average score from 52.75 to 79.25. Observational data also revealed high student engagement across cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains. These findings suggest that the card sort method offers a practical and engaging alternative for grammar instruction, especially in making abstract concepts more concrete and participatory. The study concludes that this approach can foster more meaningful learning and student motivation in Arabic language education.</p> Sofie Maria Ulfa Desvy Kurniasari, Syarifuddin, Miftachul Taubah, Faris Hamid Matar Copyright (c) 2025 Alibbaa': Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Arab https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/19091 Sun, 06 Jul 2025 09:14:57 +0700 Recontextualizing Arabic Reading Instruction: Developing Arabic Reading Skills Teaching Materials Grounded in Islamic Values https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/19523 <p>This study aims to develop <em>Maharah al-Qirā’ah</em> (Arabic reading skills) instructional materials that integrate Islamic values and are contextualized to students’ social and proficiency levels. Utilizing a Research and Development (R&amp;D) approach adapted from the Borg &amp; Gall model, the research followed eight key stages, including preliminary research, planning, product development, field testing, revision, and implementation. Conducted at a single Islamic higher education institution, the study found that the developed materials significantly improved students’ reading comprehension of Arabic texts and positively influenced their affective and social engagement, including motivation and active participation. Validation by experts confirmed the materials’ feasibility, with recommendations for refining text structure and grammar. Theoretically, this research contributes to the Value-Based Content and Language Integrated Learning (VB-CLIL) paradigm by positioning Arabic reading instruction as a vehicle for values education, character building, and Islamic identity formation. The developed model is adaptable for implementation across similar Islamic educational contexts.</p> Hamidah, Abdullah Copyright (c) 2025 Alibbaa': Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Arab https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/19523 Sun, 06 Jul 2025 09:18:45 +0700 Designing Visually-Enriched Arabic Vocabulary Instruction Using Canva: Empirical Evidence from a Pre-Experimental Study in an Indonesian Islamic Secondary School https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/20483 <p>This study aims to examine the effect of Canva-based representative visual media on improving Arabic vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Medan. Initial classroom observations indicated low vocabulary retention and diminished student motivation, largely due to monotonous instructional methods and limited use of visual learning media. To address these challenges, Canva-based visual media were implemented as an instructional intervention. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design (one-group pretest-posttest). Data analysis involved both descriptive and inferential statistics, specifically utilizing the paired sample t-test with the aid of SPSS. The findings revealed a significant increase in the mean score from 45.42 (pretest) to 81.03 (posttest), with a gain of 35.61 points. A significance value of 0.001 &lt; 0.05 confirmed that the use of Canva-based visual media had a statistically significant impact on students’ Arabic vocabulary acquisition. These findings imply that the integration of digital visual media should be seriously considered in the design of Arabic language instruction at the secondary school level.</p> Fahriza Ramadhan, Fatma Yulia Copyright (c) 2025 Alibbaa': Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Arab https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/20483 Wed, 09 Jul 2025 20:57:13 +0700 Arabic Language Curriculum in Southeast Asia: A Comparative Analysis of Indonesia and the Philippines https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/20568 <p>This study aims to compare the design, implementation, and evaluation of Arabic language curricula in Indonesia and the Philippines, as two national Arabic language curriculum systems in the Southeast Asian region. Employing a qualitative approach with a comparative case study design, the study utilizes document analysis as its primary method. Core data sources include Indonesia’s 2013 Curriculum and Merdeka Curriculum, as well as the Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education (ALIVE) program in the Philippines. The analysis applies Posner’s five dimensions of curriculum; purposes, content, organization, implementation, and evaluation. The findings indicate that Indonesia’s curricula are centered on classical textual literacy and grammatical precision, yet lack adequate attention to oral communication skills. In contrast, the ALIVE curriculum promotes functional speaking ability from early stages but is limited in linguistic depth and assessment standardization. Both approaches demonstrate strengths and limitations in fostering comprehensive Arabic language competence. The study recommends the development of a more balanced curriculum integrating classical literacy and oral proficiency, supported by targeted teacher training and context-sensitive evaluation frameworks.</p> John Robert Rivera, Hikmah Maulani, Mohamad Zaka Al Farisi Copyright (c) 2025 Alibbaa': Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Arab https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/20568 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 13:01:56 +0700 The Arabic Linguistic Landscape of Islamic Universities: Patterns, Strategies, and Pedagogical Practices in West Sumatra https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/19601 <p>This study investigates the Arabic linguistic landscape in Islamic universities across West Sumatra by examining its writing patterns, strategies, and related pedagogical practices. Employing a mixed-methods approach with an exploratory sequential design grounded in Creswell’s framework, the research found that bottom-up patterns dominate text production, while the most frequently used strategy is Fragmentary Multilingual Writing. This strategy involves combining Arabic with other languages without complete translation, reflecting a natural yet underutilized linguistic environment in structured pedagogical contexts. Most respondents acknowledged that the presence of Arabic texts in campus public spaces contributes positively to the development of a rich linguistic environment (<em>bi’ah lughawiyah</em>) and can serve as an effective medium for Arabic language instruction. Practically, the findings provide strategic direction for institutions to manage the linguistic landscape as an authentic learning tool and a foundation for institutional language policy. Theoretically, the study broadens the scope of Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL) research by highlighting the role of multilingual signage within formal Islamic university contexts as part of a dynamic and integrated learning ecosystem.</p> Musalwa, Rahmat Satria Dinata, Syafrimen Syafril, Ahmad Basyori, Vanadya Amelia, Putri Amelia, Salah Benrabah Copyright (c) 2025 Alibbaa': Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Arab https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/19601 Sun, 13 Jul 2025 19:07:06 +0700 Fostering Arabic Speaking Proficiency Through Ahaslides-Based Instructional Materials: A Qualitative Study in Indonesian Secondary Education https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/20482 <p>This study aims to explore the implementation of Ahaslides-based instructional materials in the teaching of Arabic speaking skills (maharah al-kalām) among seventh-grade students at MTs Ira Medan. Employing a qualitative approach with a naturalistic research design, the study seeks to understand the teaching process in a contextual and in-depth manner. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that the integration of Ahaslides fosters an interactive and engaging learning environment that encourages students’ active participation in speaking Arabic. Digital features such as the spinner wheel, Q&amp;A, and match pairs help build students’ confidence, enhance vocabulary acquisition, and reinforce their understanding of sentence structure. Supporting factors include sufficient school infrastructure, teacher creativity, and student enthusiasm. However, challenges such as limited access to devices and unstable internet connections were also identified. Overall, Ahaslides demonstrated potential effectiveness in promoting Arabic speaking skills and offers an innovative alternative for technology-integrated language instruction.</p> Dafa Nur, Zulheddi Copyright (c) 2025 Alibbaa': Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Arab https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/20482 Thu, 17 Jul 2025 20:06:14 +0700 Exploring the Implementation of Project-Based Learning in Arabic Language Education under the "Kurikulum Merdeka" https://ejournal.iainmadura.ac.id/index.php/alibbaa/article/view/19059 <p>The <em>"Kurikulum Merdeka"</em> is a curriculum that emphasizes flexibility, innovation, and student-centered learning. Implementing project-based learning (PjBL) in this curriculum is one way to improve students' Arabic language skills. This study aims to explore the implementation of PjBL in the <em>"Kurikulum Merdeka"</em> for Arabic language learning and the factors influencing it at MAN 2 Kutai Kartanegara. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through observation, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of learning tools. The data obtained were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's theory, which consists of data collection, condensation, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that PjBL is implemented through various projects, with the most commonly implemented being conversation videos and news reading videos. The implementation process consists of planning, monitoring, and evaluation stages. Supporting factors include student enthusiasm and the role of teachers as facilitators in providing freedom and guidance. At the same time, the obstacle is the difference in students' backgrounds, which affects their Arabic language skills. It can be concluded that implementing PjBL is a learning strategy to improve students' Arabic language skills, especially in terms of fluency, accuracy, and content in line with the <em>"Kurikulum Merdeka" principles</em>.</p> Muhammad Ihsan, M.
