Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the perception of learning Arabic based on voice recording tasks and explore the possibility of using voice recording as an Arabic learning tool focusing on pronunciation, listening, and speaking. Voice recording tasks were conducted for 6 weeks with 24 Arabic learners at the beginner and intermediate levels. Before assigning the voice recording task, the researcher explained the text to be recorded through a lecture and had the learners practice reading it out loud. The researcher had the learners listen to the native speaker recording MP3 file repeatedly, practice reading along, and then submit the voice recording assignment. In this regard, 21 learners participated in a survey, and in a survey of learners' overall perception of learning Arabic, it was found that learners perceived listening as the most difficult area. In a survey on the perception of the linguistic and affective effects of voice recording tasks, 90.4% of learners responded that there were linguistic effects in improving pronunciation, intonation, and speaking. Additionally, 80.9% of learners recognized that there were affective effects in increasing confidence, interest, and fun.
