description: This study aims to trace the historical development of Arabic language education in Malaysia and to analyze the religious, cultural, and political factors that influenced its spread and evolution. Since the arrival of Islam to the Malay Archipelago through Arab traders and preachers, the Arabic language has become an essential component of the religious and cultural identity of Muslims in the region. Arabic instruction was initially tied to the learning of the Qur’an and Islamic teachings, beginning with mosque study circles and traditional Quranic schools known locally as pondok. Over time, Arabic education evolved into more structured religious schools supported by sultans and scholars. However, during the British colonial period, Arabic lost its status in favor of European and Asian languages, creating an educational and linguistic gap across generations. The 20th century witnessed a revival, marked by the establishment of national Islamic secondary schools (SMKA) and, later, the launch of the J-QAF program in 2005, which reintroduced Arabic into the national primary school curriculum. This research adopts a historical-analytical methodology and is based on educational records and socio-cultural contexts. It presents the Malaysian experience as a model for understanding the role of Arabic in shaping Islamic identity in non-Arab societies and highlights opportunities for its further development.

[MS] Komunikasi Nonverbal al-Quran (KNVQ) Sebagai Medium Perantara bagi Wahyu, Dakwah dan Pedagogi Moden
type: item
description: This study examines the concept of Qur’anic Nonverbal Communication (KNVQ) as a form of divine communication that transcends linguistic, spiritual, and educational dimensions. Based on content analysis of Qur’anic verses and the views of classical exegetes such as al-Tabari, al-Zamakhshari, and Ibn Kathir, the study finds that nonverbal communication has been institutionalised by revelation as a legitimate and instructive channel of messaging. The Qur’an is not merely a verbal text; it also contains symbols, expressions, and nonverbal actions that educate humankind about patience, reliance on God, and moral values. The study identifies ten major categories of KNVQ embedded within the Qur’anic text—physical appearance (appearance), bodily movements (kinesics), facial expressions, eye contact (oculesics), paralanguage (vocalics), space and distance (proxemics), touch (haptics), environment (environmentics), smell (olfactics), and time (chronemics). Each of these categories carries educational, da‘wah, and pedagogical messages that can be applied in contemporary contexts. A comparison with Western theories by scholars such as Mehrabian, Birdwhistell, and Hall shows that the principles of nonverbal communication empirically identified in the 19th and 20th centuries had in fact been articulated in the Qur’an more than 1,400 years earlier. The difference lies in the Qur’an’s emphasis on spiritual and moral dimensions as the essence of nonverbal messages, rather than merely psychological or linguistic phenomena. Further research through the Qur’anic Nonverbal Communication Pedagogy Module (MPKNVQ) demonstrates that integrating KNVQ elements into teaching enhances students’ attitudes, motivation, and achievement. Teachers who adopt nonverbal messages such as facial expressions, vocal tone, and eye contact grounded in Qur’anic values are found to be more effective in cultivating a learning environment characterised by compassion, focus, and respect. In conclusion, KNVQ serve…

[AR] Dalalat al-Mufradat al-Mutaradifah fi "Kitab al-Alfaz: al-Kitabah wa al-Ta'bir" li Ibn al-Marzuban al-Bahith
type: item
description: The old lexical meaning refers to the definitions of synonymous words as found in historical dictionaries, whereas the modern lexical meaning pertains to the definitions provided in contemporary dictionaries. This research aims to examine the semantics of synonyms in Ibn al-Marzuban's book Writing and Expression, focusing on both the old and modern lexical meanings within their contextual usage. It also seeks to analyze selected synonyms through the consultation of historical dictionaries and lexicons. A comparative analysis between the old and modern lexical meanings will be conducted, alongside an exploration of the meanings of individual words within their contextual phrases. Studying employs a descriptive and analytical approach. Findings indicate that, in the chapter on congratulations and gifts, the vocabulary associated with phrases such as pious and God-fearing reveals semantic meanings that vary according to context. Similarly, expressions like happy and praiseworthy, auspicious and blessed, good and dear, as well as supporter and helper and supporter and burden, demonstrate nuanced differences in meaning. In the section addressing responses to condolences and affliction, the word spreading appears in various expressions, including nor healing of her wound, nor filling of her breach, nor mending of her fracture, nor patching of her tear, and nor worse for her words. These expressions convey similar or closely related meanings. In the section on gratitude, several phrases such as and he is more deserving of praise refer to meanings that are similar but articulated with different words, potentially carrying distinct lexical or contextual connotations. Additionally, in the section on excuses, the phrase my sin, even if it is great encompasses multiple meanings, which are discussed in light of their lexical semantic context.

[MS] Simbolisme Uslub al-Qasr dalam Imej Tashbih Puisi Kemala: Kajian Retorik Berdasarkan Teori 'Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani
type: item
description: This study examines the rhetorical style of al-qa?r in tashb?h imagery found in the poetry of Kemala - Malaysia’s 11th National Laureate - with a focus on its rhetorical function in conveying symbolic meanings and the poet’s reflections. The objective of this study is to conduct an in-depth analysis of Kemala’s use of al-qasr techniques in emphasizing spiritual ideas and to explore how he employs poetic imagery and symbolism to reinforce the messages in his poems through tashbih imagery. The study adopts a textual analysis method based on the rhetorical theory of 'Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani, emphasizing the relationship between linguistic structures, imagery, meaning and the resulting aesthetic effects. The findings reveal that Kemala employs the uslub al-qasr subtly and creatively in tashbih imagery to highlight dual layers of meaning - between the apparent and the hidden, the worldly and the divine. Through this stylistic approach, Kemala successfully underscores the oneness of God while reflecting the integrity of Islamic faith and worldview in his poetry. In conclusion, the uslub al-qasr consistently enriches the layers of meaning in Kemala’s poetry, demonstrating his mastery in blending language, imagery and philosophical depth poetically and profoundly.

[MS] Analisa Keperluan Modul Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab untuk Tujuan Debat
type: item
description: Previous studies highlight that debate can enhance language skills, particularly speaking skills. However, there are two questions that still require further investigation. The first question concerns the extent of the Arabic language proficiency of debaters, especially in constructing sentences when presenting arguments. The second question relates to the perception of non-debating students, who view the use of Arabic in debates as challenging. On this basis, a specialized Arabic language learning module for debate purposes is deemed necessary to facilitate learning. This study aims to examine the need to develop a dedicated Arabic learning module for debate purposes. In addition, the study also seeks to obtain experts’ perspectives on the content and design for developing this module. The study employed a qualitative approach using interviews as the method of data collection. Three experts from three fields — instructional technology, debate, and Arabic language — were interviewed. The data were then transcribed and analyzed manually. The findings indicate that all respondents agree on the need to develop an Arabic learning module specifically for debate purposes, while also providing several recommendations to help make the module more effective.

description: One of the most common issues in learning the Arabic language is the weakness of students’ writing skills and the various obstacles they face in developing this skill, particularly in the areas of grammar, morphology, spelling, and semantics. This problem is widespread among learners of Arabic worldwide, not only in Malaysia. The weakness in writing skills can be attributed to several factors, most notably the complexity of Arabic grammatical and morphological rules, as well as the reliance of many educational programs on theoretical instruction without providing sufficient opportunities for practical application. In addition, the influence of learners’ mother tongues often leads to recurring linguistic errors. Although many researchers and scholars have discussed this issue, it remains one of the greatest challenges faced by learners of Arabic as a foreign language. The importance of this study lies in its focus on identifying the most common linguistic errors committed by students—grammatical, morphological, semantic, and spelling errors—along with analyzing them. The study further explores the primary causes behind these errors and the reasons for their recurrence through interviews conducted with the student sample who took the test, followed by interviews with their instructors to verify these causes and identify the solutions and measures adopted to overcome such difficulties and challenges.

description: With ChatGPT's increasing utility in the academic field, it has become a valuable tool for language users. This study aimed to explore the motivations of Arabic language students at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) for using ChatGPT, whether these motivations were extrinsic or intrinsic. This study adopted a descriptive quantitative approach to collect the sample. The study surveyed 30 male and female students and collected data using a questionnaire created via Google Forms. The researcher then analyzed the data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and employed arithmetic mean analysis. The results of the study showed that the most significant extrinsic reason for students' use of ChatGPT was the ease of access to information, while students were more likely to be intrinsically motivated when using ChatGPT, believing it could help save time and effort in searching for information. This indicates that they perceive ChatGPT not only to overcome challenges but also as a learning support tool.

description: This study aims to identify the most prominent Arabic language learning strategies used by fourth-year secondary school students in Islamic schools in Adni. It addresses two main types of strategies: traditional and modern. The researchers adopted a quantitative approach by distributing a questionnaire consisting of twenty items to a sample of thirty male and female students. The results showed that students still rely heavily on traditional strategies, particularly memorization and writing summaries with this item recording the highest overall mean score of 3.08. In contrast, the use of modern strategies was limited with a lower overall mean score of 2.68 which notably, “Google Translate” emerged as one of the most commonly used modern tools among students. Accordingly, these findings contribute to providing a realistic insight into the strategies employed by fourth-year secondary students in learning Arabic at Islamic schools in Aden.

description: This research aims to understand the application of the mind mapping method in teaching the comprehensive, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. The research methodology used in this study is qualitative, employing a case study approach, which involved data collection through observations in their programs, interviews with the teacher and students, and documentation with images. Data analysis was conducted following what is necessary according to the Huberman and Miles model. The results of the research indicated first: that the application of the mind mapping method in teaching the comprehensive book is a method that can be utilized in the learning process by summarizing important aspects of the study material in the form of a mind map, allowing students to remember the material more easily. Second: the supporting factors include the way the teacher explains the material clearly and understandably to the students, the enthusiasm with which the teacher presents the material that encourages the students to feel excited too, and the enthusiasm from the students to learn something new. As for the inhibiting factors, they are some female students who lack concentration during lessons because they think about things outside of the lessons, such as assignments from the student council of the institute or assignments from the student activities unit, and attending lecture and discussion hours.

description: This study deals with the role played by social media in reducing the spread of common linguistic errors and improving linguistic competence among students, as well as those interested in the Arabic language and keen to learn it. The researcher adopted the analytical inductive approach, and the study yielded several results, including: There are many terms that indicate a departure from the linguistic norm among Arabs, including: incorrect pronunciation, mistake, and error, and there is no dispute over the term; old and contemporary sources used all of these terms, and social media also plays an important role in serving the Arabic language and reducing - to some extent – these linguistic errors. This is done in a direct way represented by linguistic corrections, and an indirect way manifested in linguistic refinement by enhancing the linguistic skills through the content related to Arabic syntax, morphology linguistic differences.

[MS] Manifestasi Maqamat Sufi dalam Antologi Puisi ‘Ayn, Karya Ahmad Kamal Abdullah (Kemala)
type: item
description: The development of modern poetry in Malaysia has witnessed the emergence of a Sufi movement manifested by poets to convey Sufi thought to readers. However, it was found that studies analyzing the works of Malaysian poets using a clear framework or theory of Tasawuf are still limited. In the context of Sufi scholarship, Imam al-Ghazali outlined six maqamat derived from seven ‘aqabat, which can be used as a framework for evaluating and categorizing Sufi poetry. This study aims to analyze the application of Imam al-Ghazali's Sufi maqamat framework in understanding modern Malay Sufi poetry, specifically through the anthology ‘Ayn by Kemala. Although modern Sufi poetry is rich in spiritual symbolism, it is rarely explicitly categorized according to the stages of Sufi spirituality. Therefore, al-Ghazali’s maqamat framework—comprising six key stages: ma’rifah, taubat, zuhud, syukur, mahabbah, and fana’—functions as an authentic and systematic analytical tool to uncover the hidden spiritual dimensions within selected texts. Employing a qualitative approach with content analysis, this study identifies key symbols such as wind, garden, child, face, chest, beloved, drunk and figures, then interprets them through the lens of three maqamat categories: experience (self-awareness), evaluation (moral purification), and attainment (union with the Divine). Findings confirm that Kemala’s poems consistently reflect the spiritual journey of a salik (spiritual seeker) aligned with al-Ghazali’s framework. More importantly, this framework serves not merely for classification but as a universal guide enabling both academic and general readers to comprehend Sufi poetry from a profound and meaningful spiritual perspective. The study also affirms the enduring relevance of classical Sufi tradition within contemporary literature, demonstrating that modern Sufi poetry transcends aesthetic expression to serve as an effective medium of spiritual education, guiding the soul toward purification and r…

[MS] Persepsi Pelajar Cemerlang Terhadap Pelaksanaan Pengajaran Interaktif dan Inovatif Bahasa Arab
type: item
description: The teaching of Arabic requires relevant, dynamic, and effective approaches to meet the learning needs of contemporary students. In line with advancements in educational technology and pedagogical innovation, interactive and innovative teaching strategies are increasingly recognised as key drivers in enhancing learners’ motivation, engagement, and achievement. This study examines the perceptions of high-achieving undergraduates enrolled in a bachelor’s degree programme in Arabic Language regarding the implementation of interactive and innovative strategies in Arabic language instruction. Purposive sampling and structured interviews were used to gather data for the qualitative study design. The findings reveal that interactive approaches—such as gamified learning, collaborative tasks, and multimedia integration—effectively enhance student engagement, motivation, and language proficiency. Innovative methods, including the use of digital platforms and creative pedagogical tools, were found to strengthen comprehension and sustain learners’ interest in language study. Participants also underscored the importance of emotional responsiveness, teacher enthusiasm, and contextual relevance in shaping positive learning experiences. The study offers practical implications for educators and curriculum developers seeking to optimise Arabic language pedagogy in higher education institutions. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of these approaches across diverse educational contexts and learner profiles.

description: This article is an applied and scholar exhibition study of gratis and gratuitous articles in Islamic religious texts. It intends to certify the influence of these two mechanisms in finding the hidden meanings from the text, and to proclaim which one is common in usage. The researcher followed descriptive and analytical methods in this article. The article consists of lexical and technical meaning of the terms, the main gratuitous articles and a case study of gratis and gratuitous in one of the Quranic chapters (Surah al-A’la). The result shows that gratuitous is more common in use than gratis, this is essential for explicitly and clearance of the text contents. It also restricts receiver autonomy to check ambiguity and misunderstanding.

[AR] Zawahir Bayaniyyah fi Kitab "Dala'il al-Khayrat wa-Shawariq al-Anwar fi Dhikr al-Salah 'ala al-Nabiyy al-Mukhtar" li al-Juzuli
type: item
description: This study explores and analyzes the rhetorical features in the book Dal??il al-Khayr?t wa Shaw?riq al-Anw?r f? Dhikr Salat al-Nab? al-Mukht?r by Imam Mu?ammad ibn Sulaym?n al-Jaz?l?. Renowned as one of the most influential and widely circulated collections of prayers upon the Prophet in the Islamic world, the book stands out as a unique blend of rhetorical eloquence. Its language is richly adorned with diverse rhetorical devices such as metaphor, simile, metonymy, all of which the author masterfully employs to enhance the spirit of supplication, veneration, and intercession. These devices lend both aesthetic beauty and spiritual depth to the text. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to identify and interpret these rhetorical phenomena, examining their functional roles within the textual structure and inductive approach. The study also reviews the limited but noteworthy previous scholarship that has addressed the rhetorical dimensions of Dal??il al-Khayr?t, which remains underexplored compared to its theological and historical aspects. The study concludes that Dal??il al-Khayr?t is not merely a devotional text but also a valuable rhetorical legacy that deserves deeper rhetorical analysis. The research is based on the Sahliyyah manuscript, regarded as the most reliable version of the text.

[AR] Jamaliyyat al-Hiwarat al-Qur'aniyyah 'an Mashahid Yaum al-Qiyamah lada al-Mufassirin: Surah al-Mu'minun Unmuzajan
type: item
description: Dialogue is considered one of the rhetorical devices used to portray unseen scenes in the Holy Qur’an. It serves as a powerful means to convey profound meanings and depict invisible events in an impactful manner. This prominent rhetorical style is clearly manifested in Surah Al-Mu’minun. Previous studies indicate that the aesthetic dimension of the dialogues related to the scenes of the Day of Judgment in Surah al-Mu’minun has not yet been sufficiently explored, particularly in terms of its contribution to highlighting Qur’anic meanings and influencing the recipient. Therefore, this research seeks to analyze the aesthetic features of Qur’anic dialogue in Surah al-Mu’minun that express the scenes of the Day of Judgment. The study aims to identify the dialogues pertaining to the Day of Judgment in Surah Al-Mu’minun, providing examples from relevant verses and analyzing their rhetorical elements. It adopts the descriptive-analytical method in examining Qur’anic texts that present dialogues in the contexts of Barzakh, Hellfire, and Paradise, while exploring the role of rhetorical techniques in vividly portraying these scenes. One of the key findings of this study is that dialogue in Surah al-Mu’minun functions as a rhetorical tool that breathes life into unseen scenes, enhancing their emotional and intellectual impact on the reader. Furthermore, it contributes to clarifying spiritual meanings in a lucid and captivating style, thereby enabling a deeper understanding of the Qur’anic messages.

[AR] Zahirah al-Taqdim wa al-Ta'khir li al-Ayat al-'Aqdiyyah min Surah Ali 'Imran: Dirasah Tahliliyyah fi Daw' Nazariyyah al-Nazm li 'Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani
type: item
description: The Holy Qur’an is a divine revelation from Allah, which has challenged mankind to produce anything like it. It is composed with eloquent rhetorical styles that surpass the eloquence and rhetoric of the Arabs, one of the most prominent of which is the style of al-taqdim wa al-ta’khir. This study aims to examine this stylistic feature within the doctrinal verses of Surah Ali 'Imran and to analyze it from a precise rhetorical perspective, based on the theory of Nazm (order and structure) as presented by 'Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani in his renowned work Dala'il al-I'jaz. Accordingly, this research adopts a descriptive-analytical methodology to trace occurrences of al-taqdim wa al-ta’khir in the Surah, to categorize the rhetorical patterns therein, and to explain the semantic impact of this unique style in reinforcing the meanings of tawhid (monotheism). The study concludes that this stylistic phenomenon does not occur in a random or arbitrary manner within the verses, but rather follows a deliberate precision to achieve multiple rhetorical objectives such as emphasis, exclusivity, and others. In other words, the research confirms the coherence of al-Jurjani’s theoretical framework, where the arrangement of words and phrases within Qur’anic sentences serves to actualize their profound meanings and distinctive miraculous nature.

[MS] Model Pengajaran Tarikh Adab dan Nusus untuk Kurikulum Bersepadu Dini (KBD)
type: item
description: The Integrated Dini Curriculum (KBD), known as the Curriculum and Assessment Standard Document DSKP KBD Review 2022, incorporates the subjects of Adab and Nusus, which are derived from the syllabus and textbooks of the Al-Azhari curriculum. The teaching of these subjects primarily focuses on translation methods to aid in comprehending the content. A model suggested by Carter and Long (1991) in the context of English literature for literature teaching has been established. This study aims to explore Arabic language teachers' perspectives on the applicability of this model, particularly its potential adaptation for teaching Arabic literature within the KBD curriculum. To gather data, the study employed interviews with five Arabic language teachers from three public universities. The findings suggest that the proposed model is appropriate and can be effectively adapted for teaching Arabic literature in the KBD curriculum. This study recommends the adoption of this model as a reference for teaching the subjects of Adab and Nusus to non-native students.

type: item
description: This study examines predication and syntactic structures in selected poems of 'Isa Alabi Abu Bakar from a grammatical and stylistic perspective. The research problem lies in the scarcity of studies that have addressed the poet’s style from a precise grammatical angle, particularly about the relationship between the predicate and the subject, and the role of syntactic structures in highlighting stylistic and artistic meanings. The study aims to reveal the differences between the normative rules established in grammatical works and the meanings revealed by poetic context. It adopts the descriptive-analytical method, combined with linguistic statistics, to trace patterns of predication in the selected texts. The research concludes that predication constitutes the fundamental basis for constructing the poetic style of 'Isa Alabi Abu Bakar, where grammatical meanings interact with the rhetorical and artistic dimensions of the text.

[AR] Zahirah al-Tanas fi Riwayah "Hadrah al-Muhtaram" li Najib Mahfuz: Aliyah al-Tafsil ba'd al-Ijmal Namuzajan
type: item
description: Intertextuality refers to the relationship between texts, highlighting the influence of underlying or absent texts within the current one, which interact with and impact its meaning on both syntactic and semantic levels. Additionally, it encompasses the interplay between different parts of the same text, where each segment interacts with and informs the others. Among the various mechanisms within this concept, "Detail after Summarization" (al-taf??l ba?da al-ijm?l) plays a significant role in enhancing textual coherence and structure. Despite growing interest in intertextuality within literary studies, specific intertextual mechanisms in non-Western literature remain under-examined. This study addresses this gap through a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the mechanism of "Detail after Summarization" in Naguib Mahfouz's novel Respected Sir (?a?rah al-Mu?taram). This methodology enables a detailed examination of how the mechanism contributes to the novel's cohesion and narrative structure. The findings reveal that this technique enriches textual cohesion by transforming abstract summaries into detailed elaborations, enhancing readers' comprehension of the text. This study underscores the significance of intertextual mechanisms in literary analysis and advocates for further research on their role across diverse literary traditions and cultural contexts.

type: item
description: Yoruba poets have demonstrated a profound engagement with classical Arabic poetry, mastering its core themes and traditional elements. In the contemporary era, poets from the Yoruba region of Nigeria have expanded their focus beyond regional concerns to address pressing global social issues through their poetic expressions. This study aims to compile and analyze poetry that reflects modern social realities and transcends geographical boundaries. The findings of this research highlight the exceptional ability of Yoruba poets to integrate Nigerian Arabic poetry as a medium for conveying socially relevant messages on an international scale. Their academic expertise has enabled them to articulate complex social narratives with depth and precision, thereby positioning their works within the broader framework of global literature. To achieve these objectives, the study employs two primary research methodologies: analytical and historical. The analytical approach examines individual poetic works to extract the embedded social values that mirror real-life experiences, while the historical method contextualizes these literary texts within their respective historical backgrounds, shedding light on the events and influences that shaped their creation. This research underscores the intellectual contributions of Yoruba poets to global literary discourse, illustrating their role in bridging cultural and linguistic traditions while addressing contemporary social challenges.

The researchers employed a descriptive quantitative approach, administering two questionnaires to 32 students majoring in Arabic language from various universities in and outside Malaysia. The findings revealed that the main challenges were a lack of self-confidence and difficulty pronouncing Arabic letters. On the other hand, TikTok has a positive impact on students by boosting their confidence, broadening their interaction with native Arabic speakers, and enabling them to acquire new vocabulary. The study concludes that TikTok can be an effective tool to support Arabic language communication skills among Chinese students if used appropriately.

description: This study examines the Arabic proverb “Wa-Man Yushabih Abahu Fama Zalam” (Whoever Resembles His Father Has Not Wronged) from the perspective of moral education, highlighting how this proverb reflects inherited educational, moral, and human values passed down through generations. The research uses this proverb as a model to explore the transmission of ethical and behavioral values from parents to children, analyzing the educational, religious, social, and psychological dimensions that contribute to the formation of individual character based on these values. The study aims to address how such proverbs influence the cultural and social identity of individuals and their role in preserving moral heritage within in societies. The research draws on a variety of sources from Arabic literature, Qur'anic exegesis, and modern psychological and social studies to support its points. Through the examination of philosophical, religious, and scientific arguments, it becomes evident that the resemblance between parents and children is not merely a biological phenomenon but is the result of a complex interaction between genetics, upbringing, and culture.

This is evident in the contributions of the scholars of the principles of jurisprudence, commentators, and encyclopedic authors such as Al-Mubarrad’s book “Al-Kamil fi al-Adab wa al-Lughah”. This research deals with the semantic issues contained in the folds of this work; in order to stand on the semantic issues that abound in this precious literary encyclopedia; in an attempt to clarify the approach adopted by Al-Mubarrad when dealing with several semantic issues, including: polysemy, Arabization, foreignness, context, and others. This aspect has not been addressed by researchers before, according to the sources available to the researcher, and this represents the problem of the current research. The researcher adopted the descriptive approach and reached several results, including: that the semantic issues in the book have captured a great deal of the author's attention, and the author's passion for standing on partial meanings was noted, addressing the linguistic aspects in terms of singular, plural, verbal homonym, and opposites. In addition to referring to Arabic dialects, but he did not care much about the Arabized and the foreign; as he touched on them lightly.

[EN] Vocabulary Learning Strategies: Perspectives of Arabic Language Learners
type: item
description: Ongoing discussions about enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery in learning foreign languages have spurred an urgent need for practicing vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) in learning new vocabulary. VLS are widely used as an effective learning tool, offering various advantages in vocabulary mastery. However, the empirical evidence supporting its implementation in the context of learning Arabic as a foreign language (AFL) remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the level of VLS implementation among Arabic foreign language learners. To gather quantitative data, survey research is employed using a VLS questionnaire developed by Gu (2018) with a 5-point Likert scale. This questionnaire was administered to diploma students majoring in Islamic Studies at Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin (UniSIRAJ), Malaysia. The data collected from 144 respondents were analyzed using SPSS. The results of the study indicate that the level of using VLS among the respondents is high, showing that they are active-users of VLS, whereas note-taking strategy is the most preferred, while inferencing strategy is the least used. Pedagogical implications of this study are that the implementation of VLS in the AFL context should be improved to enhance students’ Arabic vocabulary mastery.
