From Sacred to Commodified: The Semantic Transformation of Arabic Language in Indonesian Horror Film Titles
Full text linkThis study examines the use and semantic transformation of Islamic religious language in Indonesian horror films. Findings reveal that desacralizationge with horror themes to attract the predominantly Muslim audience, media commodification has transformed sacred expressions into commercial tools, leading to the distortion of religious literacy and public resistance. The research aims to identify forms of semantic transformation, investigate its causes, and analyze its impact on public discourse and understanding of religious language. Using both primary and secondary data, the study focused on Indonesian horror films released on YouTube between 2019 and 2023. Data were classified based on theories of desacralization and connotative meaning, with analysis encompassing linguistic patterns and audience comments. Findings reveal that semantic transformation arises mainly from the commodification of religion through syncretic storytelling that blends Islamic elements with horror, creating confusion and misinterpretations of Islamic teachings among the public
Analyzing Phonetic Errors Among Non-Native Arabic Learners Through Artificial Intelligence
Full text linkAccurate pronunciation is essential for non-native Arabic learners, yet many face persistent difficulties in articulating specific sounds, leading to phonetic errors that impede comprehension. With technological advancements, artificial intelligence (AI)—particularly Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)—offers promising solutions for identifying and correcting such errors. This study explores the application of AI in analyzing phonetic inaccuracies among Arabic learners through an experimental model using ASR technology. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach, ten undergraduate students from Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara were asked to read short Arabic passages. Their recordings were processed through ASR to detect pronunciation errors, including sound substitution, weak articulation, and inaccuracies in elongation (madd) and nasalization (ghunnah). The results demonstrate that ASR effectively identifies recurring phonetic error patterns, providing instructors with valuable diagnostic insights and enabling timely, personalized feedback. The study concludes that integrating AI-driven pronunciation analysis into Arabic language instruction can significantly enhance learning outcomes, support autonomous practice, and promote more accurate oral proficiency. It recommends that educators and institutions adopt ASR-based tools as part of digital language pedagogy to strengthen pronunciation training and foster continuous learner engagement
Enhancing Arabic Listening and Vocabulary Acquisition through AI-Powered Music: A Study on Suno AI
Full text linkThis study explores the impact of AI-generated music, specifically through the Suno AI platform, on enhancing Arabic listening skills (maharah istima\u27) and vocabulary acquisition at Darullughah Wadda’wah Boarding School (Pesantren). A qualitative approach was employed over a 3-week period, involving 120 students aged 16 to 18. The findings reveal that AI-powered music significantly improved student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. Students demonstrated better vocabulary retention and listening comprehension, facilitated by the contextual use of lyrics in AI-generated songs. However, the short duration of the study posed challenges for mastering all introduced vocabulary. This research suggests that integrating AI-generated music into Arabic language education offers a promising, engaging alternative to traditional methods, particularly in enhancing receptive language skills. Future studies could extend the duration and explore the impact on other language skills such as speaking and writing
Instilling Ulu al-Albâb Values ‘Spiritual Depth’ Through Conversational Texts in the Al-‘Arabiya li al-Hayâh Book
Full text linkCharacter is a reflection of the person; positive character reflects the positive values that one possesses. The attempt to teach this positive character continues through al- ‘Arabiyah\u27s li Hayâh textbook, which claims to contain the values of Ulu al-Albâb. This research aims to analyze the Ulu al-Albâb values contained in the text of the textbook\u27s conversation and discuss them in depth. The al-‘Arabiya li al-Hayâh book became the primary source of learning for students at one of the universities in East Java. This research uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive analysis by Harold D. Lasswell\u27s approach to the al-‘Arabiya li al-Hayâh textbook 1st volume. The analysis is carried out systematically, objectively, and qualitatively. The analysis\u27s findings demonstrate that Ulu al-Albâb \u27s values are distributed pretty equally across the textbook. It is seen from the text of the conversation that it contains spiritual values evenly and is designed to instill those values in the student\u27s subconscious. This research contributes to the understanding of character development through Arabic textbooks. The results of this research can be beneficial to the developers, teachers, and Arabic language learners to instill the spiritual depth values of Ulu al-Albâb
Enhancing Arabic Learning Outcomes Through the Course Review Horay Cooperative Learning Model
Full text linkA well-designed evaluation process can increase student motivation and strengthen understanding of the material taught, thus achieving more optimal learning outcomes. The researcher intends to analyze the effect of course review horay type cooperative learning model in improving students\u27 Arabic learning outcomes. This study used a quantitative approach, specifically an experiment with a pre-experiment design. The study involved 16 students in class IVB SDIT Subulussalam who were assessed using observation sheets and written tests. The results showed that students were very active and engaged during the learning process, with a success rate of 61% - 100% in terms of activeness. Hypothesis testing confirmed that the independent variable (cooperative learning model) significantly influenced the dependent variable (students\u27 Arabic learning outcomes). This supports the initial hypothesis and shows that cooperative learning models positively impact student engagement and enthusiasm. These findings have important implications for educational practice, as these models can contribute to more effective learning experiences and outcomes
A Cross-Cultural Psycholinguistic Study on Arabic Vocabulary Retention: Evidence from Indonesia and Malaysia
Full text linkThis study examines Arabic vocabulary retention from a cross-cultural psycholinguistic perspective involving learners in Indonesia and Malaysia. Recognizing that rote memorization rarely ensures long-term retention, the research integrates association, mnemonics, visualization, and a novel strategy Familiarity-Enhanced Recall to enhance recall and reduce anxiety. Employing a mixed-method design, 90 participants (30 from Pondok Pesantren Darullughah Wadda’wah, Indonesia, and 60 from Maktab Mahmud Yan, Malaysia) completed pre-tests, post-tests, and interviews. Results showed significant improvement, with Familiarity-Enhanced Recall linking new words to familiar routines, cultural practices, or personal hobbies emerging as the most effective approach. Learners expressed greater confidence, motivation, and emotional engagement, as vocabulary became personally meaningful and easier to recall. The findings underscore that psycholinguistic strategies, when contextualized within learners’ cultural experiences, foster more sustainable and engaging vocabulary acquisition, offering valuable insights for Arabic language pedagogy in diverse educational settings
