This study aims to describe the use of podcasts in Arabic language teaching, identify their impact on improving students’ listening skills, and analyze the differences in students’ ability levels before and after the use of podcasts in the learning process. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The population and sample of the study consisted of 15 Arabic language students at Anwar Al-Thani Institute in Malang, selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure students’ listening skills before and after the implementation of podcasts. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques, including the calculation of the mean score and the t-test, to determine the significance of differences between the results before and after the treatment. The findings indicate that: (1) the use of podcasts significantly contributes to improving students’ listening skills; (2) this medium proves effective in helping students better understand Arabic audio materials; and (3) there is a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results after the implementation of podcasts in the learning process. Therefore, podcasts can be considered an innovative instructional medium that contributes to the development of Arabic language learning, particularly in enhancing students’ listening skills.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of self-esteem and self-concept on the low level of students’ interest in learning. Interest in learning is one of the important factors that affects educational success and the quality of human resources. A low interest in learning can lead to decreased motivation and understanding of learning materials, as well as lower quality of students’ learning outcomes. This study uses a qualitative method based on literature review and interviews. The data were obtained through the review of various relevant journals, books, and scientific articles, as well as interviews with Class E students of the Arabic Language Education Department, class of 2024, to understand their perspectives and experiences regarding self-motivation and interest in learning. This research was conducted over approximately two weeks. The results showed that self-confidence and self-concept have a significant influence on students’ interest in learning. Students who possess self-confidence and a positive understanding of themselves tend to be more active, motivated, and interested in participating in the learning process. On the other hand, low self-confidence and self-concept cause students to feel incapable, lack confidence, and fail to recognize their own potential, which ultimately decreases their desire to learn. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening self-confidence and self-concept as an effort to increase students’ interest in learning and improve the overall quality of education.

Derivasi dalam Bahasa Arab dan Peranannya terhadap Perkembangan Makna: Kajian Morfologi dan Semantik

Ismail Ubaidillah — 2026-07-31

Penelitian ini membahas derivasi (isytiqaq) dalam bahasa Arab sebagai sistem morfologi yang berperan penting dalam pembentukan kosakata dan perkembangan makna. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsep derivasi, jenis-jenis isytiqaq, pola pembentukan kata, serta hubungan derivasi dengan perkembangan makna dalam bahasa Arab. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif-analitis berbasis studi pustaka. Data diperoleh dari artikel ilmiah, kitab linguistik Arab, dan literatur morfologi serta semantik yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa derivasi merupakan mekanisme utama produktivitas morfologi bahasa Arab yang dibangun atas sistem akar kata dan pola morfologis. Terdapat tiga jenis utama isytiq?q, yaitu al-isytiqaq al-shaghir, al-isytiqaq al-kabir, dan al-isytiqaq al-akbar. Bentuk al-isytiqaq al-shaghir menjadi jenis derivasi yang paling produktif karena mampu menghasilkan berbagai bentuk kata dengan tetap mempertahankan hubungan semantik dengan akar kata asal. Penelitian juga menemukan bahwa derivasi berperan dalam perkembangan makna melalui perubahan kategori leksikal seperti nomina ke verba, verba ke nomina, nomina ke nomina, dan verba ke verba. Hubungan antara morfologi dan semantik dalam bahasa Arab menunjukkan bahwa perubahan bentuk kata melalui derivasi tidak hanya menghasilkan fungsi gramatikal baru, tetapi juga melahirkan perkembangan makna yang sistematis. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa derivasi merupakan fondasi utama produktivitas bahasa Arab dan memiliki kontribusi besar terhadap perkembangan kosakata serta dinamika semantik. Kajian ini juga memberikan kontribusi terhadap pengembangan studi morfologi, semantik, pembelajaran bahasa Arab, dan linguistik modern.

Dedeh Sya'adatul Kamilah — 2026-07-31

The development of digital technology has brought significant advancements to the Arabic language learning process, particularly in the development of speaking skills (maharah kalam). This study aims to examine the role of digital media in improving students' maharah kalam skills in Arabic language learning. The research employed a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through the review of relevant scientific literature, including journal articles, books, and academic publications discussing the use of digital media in Arabic language learning published between 2019 and 2025. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques, which involved the processes of identification, classification, interpretation, and synthesis of data. The findings reveal that digital media plays a crucial role in enhancing students' maharah kalam skills by creating a more interactive, flexible, and communicative learning environment. Various forms of digital media utilized in the learning process include vlogs, interactive videos, social media, Learning.Aljazeera.Net, Alef Education, and other digital learning platforms. The use of digital media has been proven to improve students' learning motivation, self-confidence, vocabulary mastery, pronunciation, and active participation in Arabic language learning. However, the implementation of digital media also faces several challenges, such as limited access to technology, internet connectivity issues, and teachers' digital competencies. Therefore, adequate facilities and infrastructure, as well as continuous professional development for teachers, are essential to optimize the use of digital media in maharah kalam learning.
