Faith Based Playful Learning Strategy to Foster Arabic Language Skills in Early Childhood

Abstract

This study explores the concept of a faith-based playful learning strategy in developing Arabic language skills for early childhood learners. The research employs a library research approach by reviewing relevant literature on Arabic language education, early childhood pedagogy, and faith-based learning principles. The findings reveal that integrating spiritual and moral values into playful learning activities such as storytelling, songs, and role-play creates a joyful and meaningful learning atmosphere. This integration not only improves children’s Arabic vocabulary and pronunciation but also fosters motivation, emotional engagement, and character development based on Islamic values. The study concludes that a faith-based playful learning strategy provides a holistic framework that combines linguistic, cognitive, affective, and spiritual growth, making Arabic language learning more engaging and value-oriented for young learners.
