ISU PENGUASAAN KOSA KATA BAHASA ARAB PELAJAR UITM DAN APLIKASI MUFRADATI

Abstract

Mastery of Arabic vocabulary is a key element to understanding the language. Vocabulary weakness is associated with vocabulary weakness. In fact, the issue of Arabic vocabulary mastery is a traditional issue raised by previous researchers and it continues until now. This is also seen to happen in institutions of higher learning, especially at UiTM Kedah in particular. In an effort to deal with this problem, it requires a step to unravel the issue of students' vocabulary and find a solution to help overcome the problem. Thus, this study aims to explain the issue of Arabic vocabulary mastery among UiTM Kedah students and create a special platform for vocabulary learning. This study is based on a quantitative approach using questionnaires as the main instrument for data collection. A total of 144 students were the respondents and the collected data was discussed descriptively using SPSS software (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 28. The results of the study showed a moderate to high interpretation of the issue of Arabic vocabulary mastery which led to the existence of an Arabic vocabulary platform called Mufradati. The implications of this study can be support for learning aids that can be put into practice among students.
