Dari Pembelajaran Bahasa Ke Penulisan Ilmiah: Perspektif Atas Kewajiban Skripsi Berbahasa Arab Di Program Studi Bahasa Dan Sastra Arab Stiabi Riyadul 'Ulum

Abstract

This study discusses the requirement of writing a thesis in Arabic in the Arabic Language and Literature Study Program at STIABI Riyadul 'Ulum, focusing on the transition from language learning to academic writing. The aim of this research is to analyze how the thesis requirement in Arabic affects students' ability to write academically, as well as to understand the teaching and learning perspectives underlying this requirement. A qualitative approach was used, with in-depth interviews with faculty and students, as well as analysis of curriculum documents and student theses. The results show that the thesis requirement in Arabic has a positive impact on students' language proficiency and academic writing skills, although challenges remain in understanding complex scientific concepts in Arabic. This study concludes that Arabic language teaching focused on academic writing needs to be supported by more intensive preparation regarding scientific principles and the application of more adaptive methods in the curriculum. These findings contribute to the formulation of more comprehensive higher education policies in the Arabic Language and Literature Study Program.
