Arabic Vocabulary Mastery Through Jaulah Arabiyyah Program in Improving Arabic Language Communication

Open access
The weakness of communicating in Arabic among students who take Arabic language courses, especially the students of MARA University of Technology in Malaysia, can be linked to their weakness in mastering sufficient vocabulary and verbs. This affects their inability to communicate Arabic well in any situation in language skills. Therefore, this study is to see the effectiveness of the jaulah arabiyyah program by using the arabic language camp guidebook that has been compiled together by UiTM lecturers in improving the mastery of arabic vocabulary and verbs in learning Arabic at UiTM Melaka. A total of 70 students were involved in the program held at Taman Seribu Bunga Ayer Keroh Melaka. However, this study involved only 25 students who were taught by the researcher who followed this program. They consist of weak students who have no foundation at all in Arabic and have never studied Arabic before. A set of pre- and post-tests were conducted to see the level of effectiveness and the level of student achievement after participating in the jaulah arabiyyah program to see the mastery of arabic vocabulary and verbs. Data were tested using SPSS with the Wicoxon paired sample test (Wicoxon test). The results of the study after following the jaulah arabiyyah program found that there was a significant difference before the activity (pre-test) and after the activity (post-test) was implemented. This clearly shows a significant increase in scores after the activity. Therefore, the jaulah arabiyyah program that is being conducted is proven to be effective and it is hoped that it can be extended to all students who follow Arabic language learning either at the diploma level or at the undergraduate level.
