The Relationship between Arabic Language Proficiency and Level of Politeness in Indonesian Islamic Boarding Schools

Surya Hidayat — 2024-12-20

This study investigates the potential relationship between Arabic language proficiency and politeness level. Arabic has an important role in transforming the values of ethics and morality because learning Arabic does not only cover aspects of grammar and vocabulary, but also involves understanding culture and social norms. The aim of this research is to examine the correlation between proficiency in language mastery and politeness levels. This study employs a quantitative approach through a correlational method. The collection of data involves the utilization of learning evaluation documents and politeness scales. Data analysis is conducted through simple linear regression, facilitated by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for calculation purposes. Hypothesis testing using simple linear regression test is used to measure the influence of one independent variable on the dependent variable. The results showed that there was no relationship between ability and politeness as seen from the significance value of 0.319> 0.05. This can also be proven by the magnitude of the coefficient of determination or the amount of influence given by variable X to variable Y. It is hoped that this research can be a reference for similar research in the future.

Ulfi Amelia — 2024-12-22

This study aims to analyze: (1) whether there is a relationship between active teaching methods and student engagement, (2) whether the success of curriculum implementation is related to student engagement, and (3) whether active teaching methods and the success of curriculum implementation together have a significant relationship with student engagement. This research employs a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The study sample consists of 100 students from the PBA postgraduate program at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang in the 2023-2024 academic year, selected using a saturated sampling technique. The research instrument is a closed-ended questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson Product Moment tests for the first and second hypotheses and multiple correlation tests for the third hypothesis. The analysis results indicate: (1) there is a moderately strong relationship between active teaching methods and student engagement with a correlation value of 0.364, (2) there is a moderately strong relationship between the success of implementation and student engagement, with a correlation value of 0.573, and (3) there is a strong relationship between active teaching methods and the success of implementation jointly with student engagement, with a correlation value of 0.599. By demonstrating the relationship between active teaching methods and the successful implementation of the Arabic language curriculum, the findings of this study can serve as a foundation for designing educational policies that promote the adoption of interactive teaching methods across various educational levels.

Strategies for Developing Public Speaking Skills in Arabic for Students of the Pondok Pesantren Al-Itqon Kendal / إستراتيجيات تطوير مهارة الخطابة العامة باللغة العربية لدى طلبة معهد الإتقان الإسلامي كندال

Muhammad Fahrun Nadhif — 2024-12-24

Pondok Pesantren Al-Itqon Kendal has developed programs to enhance the Arabic public speaking skills of its students, which include three main programs: regular Arabic speech, speech writing (Insya'), and spontaneous speaking practice (Muhadatsah). These programs are designed to enhance students' communication abilities, not only in public speaking but also in building character, self-confidence, and mental preparedness. Through varied tasks, students are given the opportunity to act as emcees, speakers, or keynote speakers, all conducted in Arabic. Additionally, each program is complemented by constructive feedback from supervisors and teachers to improve strengths and weaknesses in speaking. The results show that the program successfully addresses the overcoming public speaking anxiety, improves delivery techniques, and strengthens leadership and social skills. Furthermore, social learning theory and experiential learning provide a strong foundation for this skill development, where observation, imitation, and repeated practice play a key role in enhancing speaking abilities in front of an audience. Overall, this public speaking program contributes significantly to character development and social skills, preparing students to become ambassadors of knowledge and religious values in society.

The Implementation of Arabic Language Learning for Visually Impaired Students in an Inclusive Classroom In Indonesia/ تنفيذ تعليم اللغة العربية للتلاميذ المكفوفين في فصل دراسي شامل في إندونسيا

Istifa Ayuning Lazuardy — 2024-12-30

MAN 2 Klaten is an inclusive school that integrates disabled students, including the blind, into regular classes, achieving learning outcomes in Arabic subjects comparable to other students. This qualitative research aimed to explore the implementation of Arabic language learning for blind students, challenges faced by teachers, and their solutions. Conducted in Class XII, the study involved Arabic teachers, blind students, classmates, and accompanying teachers, using interviews, observation, and documentation for data collection. The findings show that learning plans for blind students are similar to those for other students, utilizing the same methods and materials. However, blind students receive additional explanations individually after class sessions and use laptops with JAWS software for accessibility. Daily assignments are conducted orally with the same questions as those for their peers. Challenges include difficulties in explaining unfamiliar vocabulary, divided teacher focus, and the inability of teachers to use Braille, resulting in blind students writing assignments in transliterated Arabic. Solutions involve detailed explanations, improved focus management, and adaptations in assignment formats. These findings highlight the importance of training teachers in Braille and assistive technologies to further enhance inclusive learning.
