The Effectiveness of Wordwall Media in Enhancing Arabic Vocabulary Learning Among Fifth-Grade Students at MI Nurussalam Mantingan Ngawi

2024-12-16T12:56:20+00:00

The acquisition of Arabic language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—depends heavily on vocabulary mastery. At MI Nurussalam Mantingan Ngawi, a lecture-centered teaching approach has resulted in low vocabulary proficiency among students. To address this issue, this study investigates the effectiveness of Wordwall media in enhancing vocabulary learning outcomes for 5th-grade students. A quantitative experimental method employing a true experimental design with a post-test-only control group was utilized. Data were collected through tests and documentation, and analysis involved t-tests with homogeneity and normality tests. The findings reveal that Wordwall media significantly improves vocabulary learning outcomes, as indicated by a t-count of 2.994, exceeding the critical values at both the 5% (2.021) and 1% (2.704) significance levels. Consequently, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. This study concludes that Wordwall media is an effective instructional tool for improving Arabic vocabulary mastery and recommends its integration into Arabic language teaching practices.

2024-11-15T15:51:09+00:00

This study delves into the realm of collocations within Arabic language instruction for non-native speakers, focusing on the associated challenges, difficulties in comprehension, and the influence of their rhetorical and metaphorical intricacies on learners' lexical development. It also advocates for the integration of collocations into linguistic lessons. This research is crucial due to the scarcity of comprehensive studies addressing this subject, aiming to fill the existing gap by scrutinizing a problem often overlooked in its entirety. Given its profound impact on the attainment and linguistic competence of non-Arabic speakers, collocations represent one of the most formidable hurdles in Arabic language acquisition. Their complexity, encompassing rhetorical, semantic, and cultural nuances, renders direct translation and analysis challenging.

Pausing and Starting in The Holy Quran: A Phonetic, Syntactic, and Semantic Study

2025-01-30T13:00:00+00:00

This paper aims to demonstrate the integrative relationship between the science of stopping and starting in the Holy Quran, and the levels of linguistic study (phonetic, phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic). We chose to study the relationship between; the phonetic component, through some phonetic phenomena generated by stopping and starting, such as inclination, vibration, deletion, and addition, and the syntactic component that deals with the distribution and arrangement of words in sentences. Also, the relationship that connects them to give them semantic significance considering the representational relationships between words. We demonstrated this through an applied phonetic, syntactic, and semantic study in some Quranic verses to show the impact of stopping and starting in integrating these levels. We concluded that it is necessary to go beyond the inherited view of separating the levels of the Arabic tongue, which has arisen through linguistic theories aimed at specialized scrutiny, thus narrowing the perspective and obscuring the comprehensive vision.

Understanding The Story of Dzul-Qarnain in QS. Al-Kahfi through The Semiotic Paradigm

2025-01-21T01:52:18+00:00

This study aims to find the relationship between the meaning of signs and the optimal meaning of the story of Dzul-Qarnain in the Qur'an, Surah al-Kahfi. Through these semiotic signs, it is hoped will make it easier for readers to understand the story of the character Dzul-Qarnain completely, deeply and to know the symbolic message behind the story. To analyze the data, a semiotic method is needed. This study will use the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce, where a sign is something that represents something in some way or capacity for someone. Something that is used as a sign has a function, Peirce called it ground. The consequences of a sign (representamen) are always in a triadic relationship, namely a sign, object and interpretant. With the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce, a number of semiotic phenomena in the story of the character Dzul-Qarnain will be seen in more detail so that the reading is more accurate. Apart from that, two interpretations can be achieved, namely the semiotic interpretation of the linguistic signs in the story of Dzul-Qarnain and the semiotic interpretation of the preaching message which is the main goal of the Qur'an in this story.
