Revolutionizing Foreign Language Pedagogy in Islamic Boarding Schools Through Online Platforms: A Post-Pandemic Perspective

Abstract

This study investigates the shift to online learning of foreign languages, specifically Arabic and English, in Islamic Boarding Schools post-pandemic, utilizing the Taallum Website as an e-learning model. A quasi-experimental time-series design was used to examine the changing role of foreign language teachers, comparing situations before and after the introduction of this e-learning method. Conducted from August 2021 to December 2022, the research involved both students and teachers. Surveys assessed their views on instructional techniques. Results highlighted a significant increase in teacher engagement with the e-learning model, as shown by a Paired Samples T-Test, which revealed a significant value of 0.000 and a t-count of 10.321, exceeding the t-table value of 2.365. The study demonstrates the Taallum Website application's efficacy in enhancing teacher involvement in foreign language education within Islamic Boarding Schools in the post-pandemic era, marking a departure from traditional e-module learning.
