Fri, 10 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study employs an action research method to evaluate the effectiveness of a read-aloud strategy using pop-up books in improving Arabic reading skills among 20 students of Class VI B at Nurul Amal Elementary School, Bandung. The research, conducted over two cycles, addresses challenges such as difficulty understanding Arabic texts and a lack of engaging learning media, which led to low reading interest and skills. In the pre-cycle phase, students achieved an average score of 40.5, with only 10% learning success. This improved in Cycle I, with an average score of 74.5 (45% success), and further in Cycle II, with an average score of 89.25 (85% success). A Likert-scale questionnaire also showed an 87.8% positive response. The findings conclude that the read-aloud strategy with pop-up books effectively enhances students' Arabic reading skills and engagement

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the "Inquiring Minds Want to Know" learning model in Arabic language instruction at MTsN 3 Tulungagung. The model was chosen to address the gap between students' desire to learn and their ability to cultivate curiosity. This research employed a phenomenological qualitative approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. The findings reveal that the implementation of the "Inquiring Minds Want to Know" learning model in Arabic language instruction follows four main stages: (1) formulating questions that stimulate students' interest in learning and discussion, (2) providing opportunities for students to make predictions or guesses, (3) recording all student predictions without immediately providing answers to maintain curiosity, and (4) using questions as a bridge to connect learning materials and delivering appropriate answers throughout the learning process. This learning model has proven effective in enhancing students' active participation and critical thinking skills in the context of Arabic language learning.

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 18:51:26 +0700

The background of the study shows that students' low interest in learning is influenced by the use of monotonous teacher teaching styles and the rare use of learning media due to limited time and teacher ability to make learning media. This study aims to develop board game media using a cooperative learning approach to increase students' interest in learning Arabic at SD Muhammadiyah 8 Banjarmasin. This development research uses the ADDIE model to design and evaluate the effectiveness of board game media. The study results showed that the developed board game media received a "very feasible" category from the media, language, and material validators and met the practicality criteria of 3.80 based on student responses in grade 5 of SD Muhammadiyah 8 Banjarmasin. The implementation of a cooperative learning-based board game has proven to be effective in fostering a more interactive and engaging learning environment, enhancing student participation, and significantly increasing their interest in learning Arabic.

This research explores the application of the mind mapping method in the qira’ah and kitabah learning at the Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Yogyakarta. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through observations, interviews with lecturer and students, and questionnaires distributed to students. The findings show that the use of mind mapping significantly facilitates students in understanding Arabic texts and enhances their creativity in presenting the main ideas from those texts. Additionally, mind mapping boosts students' motivation, creating a more engaging and interactive learning experience. Despite some initial challenges in implementation, such as difficulties faced by some students, the method overall succeeded in creating a more enjoyable learning environment. This research suggests additional exploration and development of mind mapping in Arabic teaching to increase its effectiveness.

Denotative and Connotative Meanings in the Dialogue of Capernaum: A Semiotic Approach to Nadine Labaki’s Work

Fitria Meisyaroh, Dayudin Dayudin, Rohanda Rohanda — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 21:28:52 +0700

The study of denotative and connotative meanings in the Arabic language remains limited, particularly regarding how meanings evolve within social and ideological contexts in films. Most previous research has predominantly focused on semantic analysis without considering the connotative aspects that shape social perceptions and representations. This study aims to analyze the denotative and connotative meanings of selected Arabic words using a qualitative approach through the perspective of Roland Barthes' Semiotics. Data were collected through non-participant observation and note-taking, while analysis was conducted using extralingual referential analysis, employing both comparative and contrastive methods. The findings reveal that words such as قيود, الجحيم, الإيجار, خادمة, and الهارب in the film Capernaum carry connotative meanings that reflect social constraints, suffering, exploitation, oppression, and the loss of identity. This study affirms that language is not merely a tool for communication but also an ideological instrument that represents social realities. This study implies that connotative meaning can enrich linguistic studies and provide deeper insights into language use across various social and cultural contexts.
