Refreshing Nahwu Knowledge: PowerPoint as a Learning Tool for Arabic Education Students with a PMDG Background

2025-07-14T09:53:22+08:00

Many students in the Arabic Language Education Department (ALED) at Unversitas Darussalam Gontor who graduated from Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor (PMDG) have learned nahwu by using the modern book an-Nahwu al-Wadih. This book was an important part of their grammar studies during their time at the pesantren. However, after moving on to university-level education, many of them seem to forget the rules they once learned, possibly because they no longer study the material in depth or use it regularly. This study looks into how PowerPoint slides, made in a simpler and more visual format, can help these students remember nahwu rules they already learned in the past. The research was carried out with 40 participants obtained through quote sampling, all of whom are current students in the ALED at Universitas Darussalam Gontor and also alumni of PMDG. Each student took a pre-test to see how much they still remembered. Then, they studied a set of PowerPoint slides designed to explain nahwu in a clearer way. After that, they took a post-test. The results showed that most students did better on the post-test than on the pre-test. This means the PowerPoint slides helped them remember the material. Many of them also said that the slides were easier to understand and nicer to look at compared to reading from the book. This shows that using PowerPoint can be a useful way to help students refresh their grammar knowledge, especially if they have already learned it before.

The study of derivation from Qur'anic words, such as "Ha, Mim, Lam', reveals the depth and richness of the Arabic language and its diverse meanings. This study indicates that the meaning of words is shaped by the context in which they appear, giving each word a unique expressive value. The study aims to explore the major derivations of the letters "Ha, Mim, Lam' in the Qur'an, focusing on the various meanings of nouns formed from these letters. Using a descriptive and analytical library research method, the researcher found that the word Hamala branches into six different linguistic materials, each with distinct meanings in the Qur'an, such as Hamala referring to carrying on the back, and Halama associated with dreams. The research revealed that each derivation carries multiple meanings depending on the context, such as the difference between Hamala and Halama in terms of carrying on the back or in the womb. The study also highlighted that the major derivations of the letters "Ha, Mim, Lam' encompass a wide range of meanings, including punishment and bliss, showcasing the richness of Qur'anic language. The researcher recommends a deeper understanding of the meanings of Qur'anic words and acknowledges the unique and irreplaceable significance of these words due to their specific connotations.

Translation skills play a crucial role in learning the Arabic language, particularly when it comes to grasping the cultural subtleties found in various regional dialects. However, students enrolled in the Arabic Language and Literature Program (BSA) at UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung often find it challenging to relate Arabic concepts to their own Materaman Javanese culture, highlighting a significant shortcoming in the current teaching materials.This research aims to develop and assess a bilingual dictionary that integrates Materaman Javanese and Arabic to improve translation learning for BSA students. The study utilized a Research and Development methodology, which unfolded in four key stages: (1) a needs analysis conducted through stakeholder discussions; (2) the design of the dictionary tailored to meet educational needs; (3) the compilation of entries enriched with cultural contexts; and (4) a thorough evaluation process. Data were gathered through 12 classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with 8 lecturers and 25 students, and assessment questionnaires completed by 87 respondents. The findings reveal a 27.3% increase in translation accuracy following the usage of the dictionary. Feedback indicated that 89.7% of students experienced a better understanding of cultural terms, while 84.5% observed structural similarities between the Materaman Javanese and Arabic languages. Faculty evaluations noted a 31.6% reduction in conceptual misunderstandings. This bilingual dictionary has effectively narrowed the linguistic and cultural divides in translation education.
