Khoirun Nisa — 2024-08-28

This study aims to determine the impact of the new curriculum on Arabic grammar learning in high schools. Using a mixed research design, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations in ten schools. The results showed a significant improvement in the understanding and application of Arabic grammar by students who learned with the new curriculum. More interactive and contextual teaching approaches increased students' motivation, participation, and learning outcomes. Teachers also reported higher effectiveness in their teaching. Despite limitations such as a limited sample size and a short research period, these findings provide empirical evidence that the new curriculum can enhance the quality of Arabic grammar learning. This study recommends ongoing support for teachers and curriculum adjustments to be more responsive to students' needs, and suggests further research with a larger sample and a longer period to evaluate long-term impacts

The Audio-Lingual Method as a Teaching Strategy for Arabic

Abd. Qodir — 2024-08-28

This study evaluates the implementation and effectiveness of the Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) in Arabic language teaching at SMP IT Omar. ALM, known for its focus on repetitive drills and pattern practice, was applied to improve students' basic Arabic language skills, particularly grammar and pronunciation. Findings indicate that ALM successfully enhances these foundational skills, with students demonstrating improved accuracy in sentence structure and pronunciation. However, the method's limitations include insufficient development of advanced communication skills and potential student boredom due to repetitive exercises. Comparative analysis with existing literature supports the effectiveness of ALM for basic language acquisition but also highlights its shortcomings in fostering more complex language abilities. The study suggests that integrating contextual communication activities and varying teaching methods could address these limitations and enhance overall student engagement. Additionally, identified challenges such as technical limitations and inconsistent teacher application need to be addressed through improved resources and professional development. In conclusion, while ALM is effective for building foundational skills in Arabic, its application at SMP IT Omar would benefit from complementary approaches and strategic improvements to fully support language learning and maintain student motivation.

Memorizing Arabic Vocabularies (fi’il mudhori’) with the Help of Educative Media in Junior High School

Ahkmad Zainudin — 2024-09-30

This study explores the impact of educational media on memorizing Arabic vocabulary, specifically the fi’il mudhori’ (present tense verbs), among junior high school students. The research utilized a qualitative approach to assess the effectiveness of various educational media tools, including learning applications, educational videos, and interactive games. Participants were divided into two groups: one using educational media and a control group with traditional learning methods. Data collected from pre-tests and post-tests indicated a significant improvement in vocabulary acquisition among students using educational media compared to those in the control group. The findings suggest that educational media enhances students' engagement and motivation by providing visual and interactive contexts, which facilitate easier and more enjoyable memorization of vocabulary. The analysis also revealed the strengths and weaknesses of the applied methods, showing a clear advantage of integrating media tools in language instruction. The study concludes that incorporating educational media into Arabic language teaching can significantly improve vocabulary learning outcomes and recommends further exploration and use of such tools in educational settings to foster a more dynamic and effective learning environment.
