Tahlîl Al-Asâlîb Al-Insyâiyyah Al-Talâbiyah Fî Sûrah Ibrâhîm wa Al-Istifâdah minhâ Li-Ta‘lîm Al-Lughah Al-‘Arabiyyah li-Ghayr Al-Nâṭiqīn bihâ
An important aspect to consider in teaching and learning Arabic for non-native speakers is al-asalib al-insha’iyyah al-talabiyyah, as this method helps both teachers and learners facilitate Arabic language acquisition and understanding of the Qur’an. This study aims to identify the Qur’anic verses that contain al-asalib al-insha’iyyah al-talabiyyah in Surat Ibrahim. The researcher used a qualitative descriptive-analytical method by studying and collecting data from available library resources such as tafsir books and rhetoric (balaghah) literature, then gathering the relevant data. The study found the following results: al-asalib al-insha’iyyah al-talabiyyah appeared in 37 instances in Surat Ibrahim. The uslub al-amr appeared in verses 5, 6, 10, 22, 30, 31, 35, 37, 40, and 44. The uslub al-istifham appeared in verses 9, 10, 12, 19, 21, 24, 28, and 44. The uslub al-nahy appeared in verses 22 and 42. The uslub al- appeared in verses 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, and 44. Meanwhile, the uslub al-tamanni was not found in Surat Ibrahim. The utilization of al-asalib al-insha’iyyah al-talabiyyah in Surat Ibrahim for teaching Arabic to non-native speakers can be applied by incorporating them into exercises such as questions, dialogues, texts, sentence formation using the targeted styles, and other training activities.

The Effectiveness Of Using Card Sort Method In Arabic Language Learning In Improving The Mastery Of Arabic Vocabulary Of Students In Class Vii Smp Islam Al-Ulum Terpadu Medan
Arabic is the second most important foreign language in Indonesia after English. Arabic is generally taught in madrasahs and pesantrens, so its coverage is not as widespread as English, which is taught in almost all schools. Furthermore, Arabic is a key language for understanding Islamic teachings. Therefore, a good mastery of vocabulary is essential for students to communicate fluently and comprehend texts effectively. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Card Sort method in improving the Arabic vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMP Islam Al-Ulum Terpadu Medan on the topic of alwān (colors). The study uses a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The results show that, first, the Card Sort method is effective in enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery on the material of alwān. Second, the effectiveness of the Card Sort method is evident from the average pretest score of 57.12 and the average posttest score of 85.52, with an n-Gain value of 82.83%, indicating a very good improvement. These findings confirm that the Card Sort method can be an effective approach in Arabic language learning, particularly in improving students’ Arabic vocabulary mastery

Chomsky's Theory and Teaching Arabic for Special Purposes
This study aimed to examine the characteristics of Arabic language instruction for specific purposes (ASP), assessed the applicability of Noam Chomsky’s generative grammar theory within this context, and explore the major challenges faced in both Arab and non-Arab environments. The method employed in this study is a qualitative-descriptive with an inductive approach, the study is grounded in a literature review and critical analysis of instructional materials. The findings reveal that ASP instruction is marked by needs-based analysis, a strong emphasis on communicative competence, methodical flexibility, and specialized lexical-syntactic integration. Chomsky’s theory is shown to align with the ASP framework, as it promotes sentence generation capabilities over rote memorization. Nevertheless, the implementation faces multiple obstacles, including the lack of thematic textbooks, insufficient teacher training, diglossia, and the tendency to neglect cultural context in curriculum design. The study concluded the recommendations to develop Arabic language programs that are more responsive, context-driven, and linguistically sound.

Bandongan Method in Tarjamah Learning in Nururrahmah Assembly Medan, North Sumatera
This study aims to examine the implementation of the bandongan method in tarjamah (translation) learning at Majelis Nururrahmah in Medan, North Sumatra. Tarjamah learning plays an important role in understanding Arabic religious texts, especially in non-formal educational settings such as majelis taklim. The bandongan method used focuses on direct reading and explanation of texts by the ustadzah (female teacher) to the congregation. This study employs a qualitative approach using participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation techniques. The results show that this method can enhance the congregation’s understanding of classical Arabic texts, particularly through the study of Nashoihud Diniyah and Syarah Ainiyah. Although it is one-directional and lacks active participation, the repetition of material and contextual explanations reinforce comprehension of the meaning and structure of the texts. The uniqueness of this study lies in the application of the bandongan method in Arabic language learning within a non-formal environmentan area that has rarely been scientifically examined. The findings indicate that the bandongan method has the potential to become an alternative strategy in implementing tarjamah learning in non-formal educational institutions.

Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Think-Pair-Share dan Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek dalam Meningkatkan Pemahaman Tata Bahasa Arab
Learning Arabic grammar often presents a significant challenge for students, necessitating innovative strategies to enhance comprehension. This research aims to analyze the comparative impact and simultaneous contribution of the Think-Pair-Share cooperative learning type and project-based learning on improving students' understanding of Arabic grammar. The research population comprised all students at STAI Syubbanul Wathon Magelang, with a random sample of 100 students selected. Research data were collected using questionnaires to measure the implementation of the learning methods and test results to evaluate Arabic grammar comprehension. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that both methods, Think-Pair-Share and project-based learning, significantly contributed to the enhancement of students' Arabic grammar comprehension. Simultaneously, both methods had a positive and significant impact on grammar understanding. The implications of this study include recommendations to synergistically integrate these two learning strategies into the Arabic language curriculum and teaching practices to optimize learning outcomes. The novelty of this research lies in its simultaneous and comparative analysis of the impact of both methods on Arabic grammar comprehension within the context of Islamic higher education.

Model Pembelajaran Window Shopping Meningkatkan Kemampuan Bicara Bahasa Arab Siswa
Speaking proficiency in Arabic is a fundamental language skill that supports students’ religious comprehension, particularly within the context of Islamic schools (madrasah). However, the limited frequency of speaking practice, low levels of student self-confidence, and the use of less interactive teaching methods present significant barriers to the development of this competency. In response to these challenges, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the windows shopping learning model in enhancing the Arabic speaking skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Pondok Pesantren Nurul Huda, Indragiri Hulu. Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, data were collected through pre- and post-tests and analyzed using a t-test and N-Gain calculation. The findings reveal that the implementation of the windows shopping model has a significant positive effect on improving students' Arabic speaking abilities. This model effectively fosters an active and communicative learning environment through independent exploration, peer dialogue, and oral presentation, all of which encourage direct student engagement. The novelty of this study lies in the application of the windows shopping model within the Arabic language learning contextan area where its use has previously been more common in social studies instruction. This model holds promise as a reference for madrasah curriculum development policies focused on active learning and offers an alternative strategy for enhancing students’ oral communication skills in a contextual, participatory, and meaningful manner.

Efektivitas Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Menggunakan Modul Berbasis Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Arabic language learning using modules based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in enhancing the higher-order thinking abilities of fifth-grade students at MIN 2 Palembang. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, the research began with the collection and analysis of quantitative data through pre-tests and post-tests, followed by qualitative data obtained from interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that prior to the implementation of the HOTS-based module, learning was still conventional and teacher-centered, which limited the development of students' critical and creative thinking skills. After the module was implemented, there was a notable increase in the average learning outcomes, from 74.83 to 80.17. Furthermore, interviews with teachers and students confirmed that this approach was more engaging, challenging, and encouraged active cognitive involvement. Therefore, Arabic language learning based on HOTS has proven effective in improving both student achievement and higher-order thinking skills. This research contributes to the development of innovative teaching strategies in madrasahs, particularly in strengthening higher-order thinking literacy within Arabic language education.

Studi Komparatif Pembelajaran Nahwu-Sharaf Terintegrasi dan Terpisah bagi Pemula
Arabic language learning as a second language for non-native learners presents complex challenges, particularly in mastering nahwu and sharaf as morphosyntactic foundations. This study aims to comparatively analyze the effectiveness of integrated and separated nahwu-sharaf instruction for beginner learners based exclusively on documented research findings. Employing a qualitative approach through comparative literature analysis, the study reveals that integrated instruction enhances contextual understanding, learner engagement, and practical language application (Afandi et al., 2024; Akzam & Zubaidah, 2024; Ali & Sopian, 2018), while separated instruction strengthens structural mastery and grammatical accuracy (Aini & Anisha, 2023; Rahman & Hamzah, 2025). However, grammar-centered instruction lacking integration with language skills reduces motivation and communicative competence (Bahri, 2015). The study concludes that an integrative model combining traditional and innovative elements is more appropriate for non-native beginner learners.

Analysis of Nahwu Errors in Arabic Textbooks at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Payakumbuh
The main problem of this study is the presence of errors related to nahwu in the Arabic language textbook used by twelfth-grade students at MAN 2 Payakumbuh. This topic was chosen due to the importance of nahwu accuracy, as it significantly affects students’ understanding, particularly in terms of tarkīb and i‘rāb. This study aims to identify the types of nahwu errors found in the textbook, focusing on two main aspects: tarkīb and i‘rāb, and to analyze the factors contributing to these errors. The research employs a library research design with a qualitative approach, using content analysis techniques on sentences and language examples presented in the textbook. The findings indicate two major categories of nahwu errors, namely tarkīb errors and i‘rāb errors. A total of 13 errors were identified in the tarkīb aspect and 11 errors in the i‘rāb aspect. These errors are likely influenced by Indonesian language interference and the inaccurate application of nahwu rules. The study concludes that revisions and improvements to the nahwu content are necessary to ensure conformity with the rules of tandard Arabic (fuṣḥā).

Analysis of Arabic Teaching Modules in the Independent Curriculum at Madrasah Tarbiyah Islamiyah Pasia Agam
In the context of the Merdeka Curriculum, teaching modules serve as one of the main instruments designed to assist teachers in implementing student-centered learning by taking into account the characteristics, needs, and potential of each learner. This condition poses a challenge for teachers to design and develop teaching modules properly so that the learning process becomes effective. This study aims to identify the componensts of the teaching modules used by the teachers and to analyze whether the grade VII Arabic language teaching modules developed by teachers at Madrasah Tarbiyah Islamiyah Pasia are in accordance with the guidelines issued by the ministry of religious affairs. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through documentation and interviews. The results of this study indicate that the Arabic teaching module created by the teacher consists of general informationm, learning objectives, learning steps, media, and assessments used, and already includes the minimum components stated in the guideline. However, in general, the Arabic teaching module used has not fully complied with the structure and guidelines of the ministry of religious affairs in terms of the complete components. Therefore, this Study recommends the need for intensive training for teachers in developing teaching modules that comply with the provisions of the Merdeka Curriculum.

The Role Of Formal And Non-Formal Language Environments In Modern Islamic Boarding School In Improving Students' Arabic Speaking Ability
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the language environment, both formal and non-formal, and its role in improving students' Arabic speaking skills at the Modern Islamic Boarding School of MTs Muhammadiyah Sidomulyo Langkat. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type, and data is collected through triangulation techniques, namely by observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the development of Arabic speaking skills does not only depend on formal learning in the classroom, but is also greatly influenced by non-formal activities that shape the language culture at the boarding school. The formal environment provides a linguistic foundation and language structure through learning muhadatsah, qira'ah, insya', nahwu, and shorof, while non-formal environments such as ilqa' al-kalimah, daily muhadatsah, language weeks, and language patrols foster courage, habits, and fluency in speaking. The synergy between the two environments creates a conducive and sustainable language ecosystem. These results strengthen Krashen's theory of second language acquisition which emphasizes the importance of meaningful input and communicative interaction in a positive emotional atmosphere (low affective filter). This research provides a theoretical contribution to the development of an environment-based Arabic language learning model in creating a communicative and sustainable language culture.

Analisis Balaghah: Penerapan Uslub Tauriyah Dan Husnu Al-Ta’lil Yang Terkandung Dalam Surah Al-Waqi’ah
This study aims to analyze the application of Balāghah styles, specifically tauriyah and husnu al-ta‘līl, in Surah Al-Wāqi‘ah. These two rhetorical devices are part of classical Arabic linguistic aesthetics that function to enhance meaning, deepen the message, and provide an artistic effect in the expression of Qur’anic verses. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive method through library research by examining classical Balāghah texts, tafsīr works, and relevant linguistic sources. The results indicate that Surah Al-Wāqi‘ah contains several instances of tauriyah, in which a word carries both a near (literal) and far (intended) meaning, enriching the interpretive depth of the verses. Additionally, forms of husnu al-ta‘līl are also identified, serving to beautify the reasoning or explanation within the context of the descriptions of the Day of Judgment and the conditions of humankind thereafter. The analysis concludes that the use of these two Balāghah devices not only enhances the literary beauty of the surah but also strengthens its theological and spiritual messages.

Evaluation of Writing Skills (Imla) of Grade 2 KMI Students at Pondok Modern El-Haq Jombang
This study aims to evaluate the actual performance of second-grade students of Madrasah Mu'allimin Islamiyah (KMI) at El Haq Modern Islamic Boarding School Jombang in writing skills (imla') and analyze their most frequent spelling errors. The researcher employed the descriptive analytical method, relying on a standardized dictation test as the main data collection instrument from a sample of (48) students selected randomly. The findings indicate that the mean score of the students' performance was (63.75), categorizing their general achievement level as "Good". Error analysis revealed that more than two-thirds of the errors are concentrated in two primary areas: writing hamzah in its various forms (38.5% of total errors) and writing alif layyinah (soft alif) at the end of words (25.2%). This data clearly suggests that the core challenge lies not in general neglect, but in the lack of connection between complex morphological rules (sarf) (such as the strongest vowel rule or root origin) and writing practice. The study recommends the necessity of integrating intensive remedial training programs focusing on the phonetic and morphological analysis of words.

Analisis Retorika dan Nilai-Nilai Moral dalam Khutbah Quss bin Sa'idah al-Iyadi
This research analyzes the rhetorical richness and moral values contained within the Khutbah of Quss bin Sa'idah al-Iyadi, a pre-Islamic oration that holds significant relevance in the historical and cultural context of Arabia. This sermon offers a unique window into understanding the art of persuasion and ethical formation before the advent of Islam. The research aims to identify and interpret the rhetorical devices used and the moral values conveyed, then to connect them with classical and modern rhetorical theories as well as concepts of spiritual ethics. This study employs a qualitative approach with content analysis methodology on the text of the Khutbah of Quss bin Sa'idah al-Iyadi. Data was collected through literature review and analyzed hermeneutically to unearth profound meanings. The findings indicate that the sermon is rich in rhetorical elements such as repetition, figures of speech (tashbih, isti'arah), and rhetorical questions, all effectively employed to emphasize its message. Furthermore, fundamental moral values like monotheism, the transience of the world, the eternity of the afterlife, and divine justice were discovered. The novelty of this research lies in the integrated analysis of rhetorical aspects with moral values, highlighting how linguistic expertise served as a means for delivering transcendental ethics, and its implications for understanding the spiritual and linguistic roots in pre-Islamic society that formed the foundation for subsequent religious discourse.

Analisis Wacana Kritis Pemberitaan BRICS Dalam Media CNN Arabic 2023-2024
This study examines the framing of BRICS-related news by CNN Arabic during the 2023–2024 period amid the bloc’s increasing role in global economic and geopolitical dynamics. This research is significant because the media play a strategic role in shaping public perception in the Arab region regarding shifts in international power. The study aims to identify the representation of BRICS in CNN Arabic’s news discourse using Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis model, which includes macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method through library research by analyzing CNN Arabic news texts related to global economic issues, political statements, and the expansion of BRICS membership. The findings indicate that CNN Arabic represents BRICS as an alternative global actor capable of balancing Western economic dominance, as reflected through lexical choices and discourse structures that emphasize cooperation, stability, and strategic influence. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the representation of BRICS in Arab media, which remains relatively underexplored. These findings imply the importance of more critical and balanced media policies in presenting global geopolitical issues.

Analysis of Arabic textbooks for IX grade based on the Merdeka curriculum
The main issue in this study is whether there are differences between the learning materials contained in the ninth-grade Arabic textbooks based on the independent curriculum and the 2024 Learning Outcomes. This research is a literature study using a qualitative approach with content analysis method. The primary data is in the form of Arabic textbooks used in schools, while the secondary data is derived from the 2024 Learning Outcomes document. This study aims to determine the content of Arabic textbooks for ninth grade based on the Merdeka Curriculum. The results of this study indicate that there are differences between the learning materials in Arabic textbooks for ninth grade based on the Merdeka Curriculum and the 2024 learning outcomes, there are deficiencies in the textbooks, and there are errors in the writing of the textbooks. This study recommends revising and developing teaching materials to be more in line with the curriculum and able to meet students' learning needs comprehensively.

Peran Guru dalam Menginternalisasi Penggunaan Adawat al-Istifham dan Dhama’ir dari Teks Percakapan
This study examines the role of teachers and pedagogical strategies in internalizing the use of Adawât al-Istifhâm (interrogative words) and Dhama’ir (pronouns) in Arabic conversation learning. Internalizing these communicative elements is crucial to addressing the gap between structural knowledge and speaking practice. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in language acquisition theory (Krashen) and social constructivism (Vygotsky). Data were obtained through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation during intensive Daurah Ramadhaniyah activities. The results indicate that teachers have four main roles: Language Model, Facilitator (providing scaffolding), Evaluator (error analysis), and Motivator (lowering the affective filter). Effective strategies include chained questioning (as-su’āl al-mutatabi‘), role simulations, and repeated text readings. The novelty of this study lies in the synthesis of these teacher roles within a scaffolding framework for intensive learning contexts. The implication is that successful internalization requires a balance between providing adequate input and affective support that fosters spontaneous speaking habits, characterized by the appropriate use of adawât and dhama’ir.

Taḥlīl Tanfīdh Barāmij al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah fī Ma‘had Dār al-Salām al-Ḥāfiẓ Kinālī Asam Atas, Kota Baru, Jambi
This study aims to examine the implementation of the Arabic language program at Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Al-Hafidz in Jambi City and analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors in its execution. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, the research involved the pesantren leader, the head of the language division, teachers, and students as informants. The findings reveal that the implementation of the Arabic language program is well-structured and effective through intracurricular, extracurricular, and daily language immersion activities such as daily vocabulary enrichment, muhadharah (speech practice), qira’ah (reading), and conversational exercises, all of which significantly enhance students’ Arabic proficiency. Supporting factors include strong leadership and teacher commitment, student motivation, a conducive language environment, and the availability of simple yet effective learning media. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors consist of limited facilities, variations in students’ abilities, time constraints, and inconsistent use of Arabic outside the classroom. Overall, the program contributes positively to improving students’ academic and communicative competence in Arabic and may serve as a valuable reference for Islamic educational institutions in developing more effective and sustainable Arabic language learning strategies.

The Contribution of Modern Linguistic Studies to the Development of Arabic Teaching Methods
This study aims to analyze the conceptual and procedural contributions of modern linguistics in transforming Arabic language teaching methods. While studies on modern linguistics are abundant, a research gap exists where previous research remains predominantly theoretical-descriptive, lacking applicable guidance for classroom practitioners. The novelty of this research lies in the systematic integration of the four pillars of modern linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics) with the development of material selection strategies based on "shuyu'" (frequency of use) and the teacher's role as a linguistic analyst. Employing a library research method with content analysis techniques, data were gathered from primary and secondary literature published between 2012–2025 using strict inclusion criteria. The results indicate that the implementation of modern linguistics shifts the learning orientation from mere grammatical rote memorization to mastering communicative and socio-cultural functions. This study recommends restructuring Arabic curricula based on descriptive linguistic analysis to achieve effective communicative competence.

Content analysis of anashir lugoh (Arabic language structure) on the Ashab lugoh Instagram account
The development of social media has provided new opportunities for Arabic language learning, one of which is through the Instagram account @ashab.lugha. This study aims to analyze the content of Anashir Lugha displayed by this account, focusing on three main aspects: morphology (shorf), syntax (nahwu), and phonology (aswat). This research used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, while data was obtained through documentation of posts in the form of feeds, reels, and Instagram stories relevant to Arabic language material. The results show that shorf content is presented by displaying changes in word form and variations in wazan in an easy-to-understand manner; nahwu content is the most dominant material, with explanations of i'rab, sentence structure, and word function; while aswat content focuses on practicing pronunciation of letters that sound similar but have different meanings. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the @ashab.lugha account is able to present Arabic language structure material concisely, visually, and interactively, thus meeting the needs of digital learners and has the potential to become a non-formal learning medium that supports the formal learning process.

In‘ikāsāt al-Manhaj al-Mustaqillī fī Ta‘allum al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah: Murāja‘ah Manhajiyyah li-l-Adabiyyāt
The suitability of the curriculum in Arabic language learning is currently very much needed to achieve learning goals, however, Arabic language learning based on the current independent curriculum still has difficulties and is not in accordance with the goals of the curriculum that should be. This study aims to analyze the implications of the Merdeka Curriculum in Arabic language learning using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The Merdeka Curriculum, implemented in Indonesia since 2022, seeks to enhance teachers’ autonomy and students’ active participation in learning. However, its implementation in Arabic language education presents both opportunities and challenges. This study systematically reviews literature from 2021–2025, sourced from Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar, to identify trends, benefits, and challenges associated with the curriculum’s application. The findings indicate that the Merdeka Curriculum fosters student-centered learning, increases motivation, and promotes a contextual learning approach. Nevertheless, challenges include teachers’ adaptation difficulties, lack of sufficient training, and students’ struggles in mastering Arabic under the new system. This study provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers in refining the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum for Arabic language learning.

The development of the Arabic language today is strongly influenced by the social dynamics of its speakers. Globalization, the rapid flow of information, digital technology, population mobility, language policy, and education systems have all contributed to changes in vocabulary, dialect variation, and the functional use of Arabic across various domains. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a sociolinguistic approach through library research based on academic literature from the past ten years. Content analysis was used to identify, classify, and interpret data related to the influence of social factors on the development of the Arabic language. The findings show that social media has produced new terms such as taṭbīq (application), mutābi‘ūn (followers), i‘jāb (like), and musyārakah (share); education maintains the use of Arabic fusha through curricula and academic terminology such as al-ta‘allum al-iliktrūnī (e-learning) and al-faṣl al-iftiṛāḍī (virtual classroom); migration generates diaspora dialects and code-mixing, such as blends of Arabic with French or local Asian languages; language policy supports the preservation of fusha through standardized terminology such as ḥāsūb (computer); and economic and cultural globalization drives the adoption of new expressions such as al-tijārah al-‘ālamiyyah (global trade) and al-siyāḥah al-iliktrūniyyah (e-tourism). These findings affirm that social factors not only shape linguistic adaptation, but also sustain the vitality of Arabic in educational, religious, popular culture, and global communication contexts.

Tatbīq Ṭarīqat al-Qirāʾah Bilā Tahjiʾah (MTM) fī Taʿlīm al-Lughah al-ʿArabiyyah li-Dhawī ʿUsr al-Qirāʾah
Learning Arabic for children with dyslexia requires a special method tailored to their needs. One effective method is the Reading Without Spelling Method (MTM), which introduces children directly to syllables without the need to spell out individual letters. This study aims to reveal the contribution of applying the Reading Without Spelling Method (MTM) in teaching Arabic to students with dyslexia and to identify the challenges faced in its implementation. The research is based on library study with a descriptive qualitative approach, drawing on various sources such as journals, books, and online articles, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model through data presentation, reduction, and verification. The findings reveal that the Reading Without Spelling Method helps reduce cognitive load, boost self-confidence, and accelerate Arabic vocabulary acquisition. Nevertheless, challenges remain in its implementation, including the lack of specialized learning materials and insufficient teacher training. Overall, the Reading Without Spelling Method represents an inclusive and promising approach to supporting Arabic language learning for children with dyslexia, provided it is supported by qualified teachers and appropriate learning resources.

Kompleksitas Hubungan Keintiman Tokoh Iryan: Perspektif Triangular Theory Of Love Dalam Novel Ar-Rajul Alladzi Āman Karya Najib Kaylani
This research is motivated by the need to understand the psychological dynamics in the relationships between literary characters, particularly the aspect of emotional intimacy, which is rarely explored in depth in modern Arabic literature. The focus of this study is the novel ar-Rajul al-Laz|i> A>man by Najib Kaylani with the aim of revealing the forms of intimacy of the character Iryan through Robert J. Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love approach, with an emphasis on the intimacy component. This research uses a qualitative method based on literature study, with the main data source being quotations in the novel that are relevant to indicators of intimacy. The results show that Iryan's intimacy is contextual: in family relationships, he expresses care, mutual understanding, and appreciation; in friendships, he shows emotional support, honest communication, and a desire to improve the well-being of loved ones; while in relationships with his partner (wife), intimacy is present in the form of intimate communication, empathy, and respect. These findings confirm that intimacy in the novel is not merely based on romantic affection, but is closely related to the values of struggle, spirituality, and ideological similarities. The implications of this study confirm that the analysis of modern Arabic literature can be enriched through the perspective of the psychology of love, thus opening up a wider interdisciplinary field of study. Furthermore, this research contributes to understanding the representation of intimacy in literary characters as a reflection of the psychological complexity of humans that is relevant to real life.

An Analysis of Arabic Language Teaching Materials for Grade VIII at Darussalam Islamic Junior High School Pasaman Barat
This study aims to analyze the alignment of the Arabic language instructional materials for eighth-grade students at Darussalam Islamic Junior High School Pasaman Barat with the curriculum standards outlined in the Decrees of the Minister of Religious Affairs No. 183 and 184 of 2019. These decrees serve as the primary guidelines for implementing the Islamic Religious Education and Arabic Language curriculum, emphasizing holistic competencies and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). The researcher employed a qualitative approach using content analysis methods. The primary data consisted of the Arabic textbook used at the school, while secondary data were drawn from the official KMA documents. The findings reveal that the teaching materials are generally aligned with the thematic content mandated by the decrees. However, several shortcomings were identified, including the lack of explicit integration of spiritual (Core Competency 1) and social (Core Competency 2) aspects, an imbalanced presentation of the four language skills (listening, speaking, and writing in particular), and an overreliance on LOTS (Lower Order Thinking Skills) in assessment tasks. The study recommends revising and enhancing the teaching materials to better meet the curriculum requirements and students’ learning needs in a comprehensive and modern educational context.
