Improving Arabic Speaking through Constructivism and Telegram: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Asep Maulana

Abstract


The low proficiency in Arabic conversation among Arabic Education students at UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember is linked to limited use of active approaches and digital media in Muhawaroh instruction. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of integrating the constructivist approach with Telegram media to enhance students' Arabic conversation skills. A quasi experimental design was employed, with the experimental group implementing the constructivist approach supported by Telegram, while the control group followed conventional teaching methods. Data collection involved pre-test and post-test focused on conversation skills to measure students' progress, along with questionnaires to assess their perceptions of the applied approach and media. The data were analyzed using the N-Gain test in SPSS. The research findings revealed a notable enhancement in the Arabic conversation skills of the experimental group, demonstrated by an average score increase of 70.76%, categorized as a high level of improvement. Additionally, students responded positively to the integration of the constructivist approach and Telegram media in Muhawaroh learning. The findings suggest that the combination of the constructivist approach and Telegram effectively enhances students' Arabic speaking proficiency. Therefore, this study recommends adopting similar methods in other institutions to improve Arabic language learning outcomes through digital technology integration.
