DEVELOPMENT OF ARABIC LANGUAGE IN BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY AT ARABIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IAIN KEDIRI

Arabic is the second international language in the world and is the language for the source of Muslim law, so it is studiedfrom elementary school to university. However, many Arabic language education scholars experience difficulty in generating financial returns and lack creativity. If it continues, many graduates will be unemployed due to the lack of job opportunities. Therefore, Indonesia implements the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum as a solution in higher education, but this is still a transition from the Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia (KKNI) curriculum. This study aims to understand the role of the Arabic language study program at IAIN Kediri in developing Arabic in the era of business and industry. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach through questionnaires, interviews, and observations to obtain valid data. The results showed that the Entrepreneurship Course Program (KWU) in the Arabic language education study program at the Kediri State Islamic Institute provided maximum results in developing entrepreneurial abilities according to student expectations. This research provides an overview of the implementation of Arabic language development in business and industry through marketing and management in the fields of translation, tutoring, tourism and language seminars with the hope that it can be implemented into business and industry in the future.

The Compatibility of Listening Skills in Our Arabic Language Books for First Graders with Special Products in Jordan

Objectives: The study aimed to reveal the extent to which the listening skills included in the questions of the listening texts contained in our Arabic books for the first three grades align with the specific outcomes. Methods: The study used a descriptive analytical approach, and three lists were created for the analysis: the list of specific outcomes, the list of listening skills, and the classification of questions into essay and objective. Results: The results showed that there is a gap between the levels included in the listening text questions and the listening outcomes stated in the general framework document and the specific outcomes of the Arabic language study. The questions in the books for the three grades addressed only (8) out of (24) products, accounting for a percentage of (33%). The results also revealed a lack of inclusion of main and subsidiary listening skills. The questions in the first-grade book were limited to the first level (auditory excellence), and although the results showed some improvement in the questions of the second and third-grade books, they still lacked the classification skill and the transformation of questions into essay and objective. The results predominantly focused on essay questions, which accounted for (148) questions, representing (81%) of the total. Conclusions: There is a need to reconsider the listening questions to better align with the listening outcomes stated in the general framework document for curricula. Additionally, it is important to adopt a scientific methodology when developing listening questions to achieve balance and progression in the forms of objective questions.

Profusion of poetic citations in the Arabic Linguistics books point to the fact that the study of Arabic language has been, from the very outset, based upon poetic evidence. There are many traditions where the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) resorted to the pre-Islamic poetry for the interpretation and explanation of the Quranic words. "Tafseer Ghareeb ul Quran" by Abdullah bin Abbas testifies to it. In this book Abdulla bin Abbas has used work of the pre-Islam poets as evidence for the interpretation and explanation of Quranic verses. Later periods saw an expansion and the use of poetic evidence was extended to all branches of Arabic Linguistics such as morphology, semantics, grammar and rhetoric.In our paper thesis we have done research on the poetic citations found in Ibn Jani's "Sar Sanat al Arab". It is considered to be the most authentic source of the use of poetic evidence after "Alkitab" by Imam Sehwiya. It contains more than 700 verses used as reference. We have made an effort to find out the method of Ibn Jani regarding the use of poetic evidence. We have also made an effort to to know as to which problems and issues of Arabic linguistics have been resolved by him with the help of poetic evidence. At the same time we have made an effort to know the source of these poetic references.This dissertation consists of a preface, three chapters and a conclusion. In the introduction we have introduced the book "Sar Sanat al Arab" by Ibn Jani. In the first chapter we have covered the sources of the poetic evidence used by Ibn Jani. In the second chapter we have described the method of Ibn Jani regarding the use of poetic evidence. In the third chapter detailed discussion has been made on the salient features of Ibn jani's use of poetic evidence. And in the conclusion the researcher has presented the results of his research

A Novel Text Classification Technique Using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization: A Case Study of Arabic Language

We propose a novel text classification model, which aims to improve the performance of Arabic text classification using machine learning techniques. One of the effective solutions in Arabic text classification is to find the suitable feature selection method with an optimal number of features alongside the classifier. Although several text classification methods have been proposed for the Arabic language using different techniques, such as feature selection methods, an ensemble of classifiers, and discriminative features, choosing the optimal method becomes an NP-hard problem considering the huge search space. Therefore, we propose a method, called Optimal Configuration Determination for Arabic text Classification (OCATC), which utilized the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to find the optimal solution (configuration) from this space. The proposed OCATC method extracts and converts the features from the textual documents into a numerical vector using the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF–IDF) approach. Finally, the PSO selects the best architecture from a set of classifiers to feature selection methods with an optimal number of features. Extensive experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of the OCATC method using six datasets, including five publicly available datasets and our proposed dataset. The results obtained demonstrate the superiority of OCATC over individual classifiers and other state-of-the-art methods.

The Negative Impact of Monodisciplinary Tradition in Arabic Language and Literature Studies

As the title suggests, this paper discussed the monodisciplinary tradition of studying Arabic language and literature which became an obstacle for scientific publications or other dissemina-tion activities. The qualitative study made a library research design whose primary data sourced from journal articles, books, research proposals/thesis, and online sources. Careful reading and analysis were applied to get the intended data useful in answering the problems being investigated. The collect-ed data and relevant information were qualitatively analyzed using Ricoeur’s Hermeneutics. The found out many negative consequences of the using of a monodisciplinary study. In general, the study of Arabic language and literature had lack of research significance, depth of analysis, and criticism. It was neither lack of originality nor creativity. In addition to the mono-disciplinary study tradition factor, the teaching university paradigm and poor learning traditions became an-other contributing factor. A mono-disciplinary in studying Arabic language and literature did not contribute significantly to its development. It was necessary to use multidisciplinary intra/interdisciplinary paradigm as a trend in the teaching and studying of Arabic language and literature in the world by which various shortcomings lessened.
