Building The Effectiveness of Arabic Language Learning Through the Internalization of Qur’anic Values

Abstract

 Pondok Pesantren Modern Nurussalam Sidogede, one of the largest modern Islamic boarding schools in South
Sumatra with more than three decades of history, plays a strategic role in shaping knowledgeable and morally grounded
Muslim generations. However, preliminary observations reveal critical challenges in Arabic language instruction, including
varying levels of student motivation, limited integration of Qur’anic values within the learning process, and insufficient
character formation through classroom activities. This study aims to examine the current state of students’ learning motivation,
assess the extent to which Qur’anic values are incorporated into the curriculum, and design an Arabic language learning model
based on the internalization of Qur’anic values. This model is expected to enhance learning effectiveness and foster character
development. The research adopts a case study approach, employing data collection through classroom observations, in-depth
interviews with teachers and students, and curriculum document analysis. The results of this study can increase the motivation
of students to learn Arabic, and increase the contribution of Arabic learning to the formation of student character, as well as
provide a potential impact on the application of the model to the effectiveness of Arabic learning in the Nurussalam Sidogede
modern Islamic boarding school.
