Ahmad Fikri — 2025-12-21

This study aims to examine the impact of the PQ4R strategy (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) in enhancing the comprehension of Arabic Qur`anic Tafsir texts among ninth-grade students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Pesantren Modern Darul Qiyam, Kerinci Regency. The research employed a quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest design involving 17 students (11 females and 6 males) in the 2023/2024 academic year. Data were collected using multiple-choice reading comprehension test consisting of 25 items covering five aspects: main ideas, supporting details, reference, inference, and vocabulary. The data were analyzed using paired-sampel t-test with SPSS 26.0. The results revealed a significant improvement in reading comprehension scores after implementing the PQ4R strategy. The mean pre-test score was 64,12 which increased to 78,47 in the post-test. The paired t-test indicated t-value = 5,62 > t-tabel = 2,12 at at the 0,05 significance level (p < 0,05), confirming the acceptance on the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, the PQ4R strategy proved effective in improving students` comprehension of Arabic Tafsir Texts across cognitive, metacognitive, and affective dimensions, while also fostering reflective and independent learning attitudes.

FROM BLACKBOARD TO GAMEBOARD: THE INTEGRATION OF MONOPOLY IN NAHWU LEARNING

Nadatul Nazhifa — 2025-12-21

This study examines the implementation of the Monopoly game as an alternative medium in teaching nahwu at the university level. The medium, modified under the name Masirah Nahwiyyah, is designed to create a more interactive, enjoyable, and meaningful learning atmosphere. The research was conducted through a literature study method by reviewing various sources such as books, articles, and scientific journals published within the last five years. These sources were selected due to their relevance to the topic of nahwu learning and educational media innovation. Data were analyzed descriptively by identifying and summarizing different perspectives from previous researchers on the effectiveness of games in enhancing students’ comprehension. The findings indicate that Monopoly nahwu helps students strengthen their mastery of basic grammar rules, such as i‘rab, the construction of jumlah ismiyyah and jumlah fi‘liyyah, as well as the identification of main sentence elements (mubtada’, khabar, fa‘il, and maf‘ul). Furthermore, this game fosters critical thinking skills, quick analytical abilities, and teamwork. The lecturer’s role is also essential in applying this medium, serving as a facilitator who guides the gameplay, provides feedback, and ensures that learning objectives are achieved. Thus, Masirah Nahwiyyah can be viewed as a creative strategy that not only emphasizes learning outcomes but also nurtures active, collaborative, and motivated learning experiences for students.

Peran Bi’ah Lughawiyyah terhadap Peningkatan Kompetensi Berbahasa Arab Santri Pesantren Modern Arafah Kota Sungai Penuh

Arina Wahyuni — 2025-12-21

This study aims to analyze the role of bi’ah lughawiyyah in improving the Arabic language competence of students at Pesantren Modern Arafah, Sungai Penuh City. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. Previous studies have shown that students’ Arabic proficiency in Islamic educational institutions—both in pesantren and higher education still faces several challenges. Although Arabic language learning has become an integral part of the curriculum, many students are still unable to use Arabic actively, either in spoken or written communication, therefore necessitating the establishment of a strong bi’ah lughawiyyah. The findings of this study indicate that the implementation of bi’ah lughawiyyah, which includes physical, social, and institutional aspects, significantly contributes to improving students’ Arabic language skills, particularly in speaking and writing. A supportive language environment enables students to use Arabic actively, authentically, and continuously in their daily activities.

الأصوات اللغوية فى عصر القديم آثرها وتطبيقها فى عصر الحديث

Nicolas Habibi — 2025-12-21

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bunyi-bunyi bahasa pada era klasik, pengaruhnya, serta penerapannya pada periode modern. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan analisis konten untuk mengkaji secara ilmiah pandangan dan gagasan para linguis Arab terdahulu—khususnya Sibawaih—mengenai bunyi-bunyi bahasa, pengaruhnya, dan penerapannya. Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan serta membandingkan bunyi-bunyi bahasa, dengan menyoroti persamaan dan perbedaan dalam perspektif para ulama tersebut. Kajian dimulai dengan mengumpulkan data yang relevan dari berbagai sumber modern serta menelaah referensi yang membantu memecahkan permasalahan penelitian.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sibawaih membatasi bidang kajian fonetik Arab dengan menempatkan pembahasan fonetik di bawah topik idghām (asimilasi), meskipun asimilasi bukan bagian dari sistem fonologis itu sendiri. Sementara itu, Ibrahim Anis menjelaskan bunyi-bunyi Arab yang dianggap baik dan tidak baik dalam qira’ah Al-Qur’an dan dalam puisi. Berbeda dari Sibawaih, ia tidak mengklasifikasikan alif sebagai huruf konsonan; sebaliknya, ia menganggap alif sebagai vokal yang tidak menerima harakat. Keduanya juga berbeda dalam sistem pengurutan bunyi. Baik Sibawaih maupun Ibrahim Anis menetapkan bahwa jumlah titik artikulasi bunyi bahasa Arab adalah enam belas.

Para linguis Arab klasik, termasuk Sibawaih, mengurutkan titik artikulasi secara menaik, dimulai dari bagian terdalam alat ucap—yaitu pangkal tenggorokan—hingga ke bagian bibir. Sebaliknya, banyak ahli fonetik modern, termasuk Ibrahim Anis, lebih memilih urutan terbalik, yakni dari bibir menuju pangkal tenggorokan.

Terkait sifat-sifat bunyi, Sibawaih menjelaskan ciri-ciri seperti bersuara dan tak bersuara, hambat dan geser, lateral, sengau, berulang, lunak, tenang, tebal (emphatic), dan tipis (non-emphatic). Ibrahim Anis, di sisi lain, menekankan pada ciri-ciri seperti jahar, hams, syiddah, rakhāwah, lateral, berulang, nasalitas, tafkhīm (penebalan), dan tarqīq (penipisan).

Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat persamaan dan perbedaan antara ulama klasik dan modern dalam hal jumlah bunyi bahasa Arab, titik artikulasi huruf, serta sifat-sifat bunyi. Namun demikian, para ahli bahasa modern secara eksplisit mengakui bahwa mereka tetap merujuk pada karya para ulama terdahulu, dan pembelajaran bunyi bahasa Arab pada masa kini masih merefleksikan perspektif klasik sekaligus modern.

alamin hadi — 2025-12-21

Abstrak

Prinsip-prinsip pendidikan kontemporer muncul karena adanya kesadaran bahwa model pendidikan pesantren yang didirikan pada masa penjajahan sudah tidak lagi sejalan dengan kemajuan masa kini. Kemudian, dunia pesantren telah menunjukkan tanggapan terhadap modernisasi. Pembelajaran bahasa di pesantren modern menggunakan metode pembelajaran modern (tajdid), yakni metode pembelajaran hasil pembaharuan kalangan pondok pesantren dengan memasukkan metode yang berkembang pada masyarakat modern. Penelitian ini mengangkat dua disiplin ilmu dalam pedidikan bahasa di pesantren modern, yaitu ilmu bahasa dan ilmu sosial. Penelitian ini menganalisis penerapan bahasa Asing di pesantren modern Arafa Sungai Penuh ditinjau dari ilmu sosial kemudian menemukan pola relasi antara keduanya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan penelitian lapangan. Lokasi penelitian ini di Pondok Pesantren Arafah, Kota Sungai penuh, Provinsi Jambi. Sumber data meliputi data primer dan data sekunder. Teknik analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis Miles dan Huberman yaitu reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data meliputi observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pondok pesantren modern arafah menekankan peningkatan kemampuan berbahasa asing, baik bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Arab. Kemudian, pembelajaran bahasa asingnya terdapat dua model yaitu model formal dan model nonformal. Sehingga terdapat pola interaksi berbahasanya yaitu antara santri dengan santri, antara santri dengan ustadz/ustadzah dan antara ustadz dengan ustadz. Adapun implikasi penggunaan bahasa asing ialah mengikuti perlombaan, pengembangan bahasa di Kampus Inggris Pare dan branding pondok pesantren.
