Modern Islamic Boarding School Darussalam Gontor for girls 2, seeks to succeed in teaching and learning of languages by preparing special movers in language teaching for student known as the OPPM Language enhancement section. It is this section that seeks to improve language in the process of teaching and learning by establishing discipline and conducting various language activities, the new students of this lodge experience difficulties in learning the language and the acquisition because of differences in background of learning goals, lack of language knowledge and lack of confidence in the use of language which is due to fear of being wrong and lacking in fluency, in this case the OPPM language seeks to resolve this problem.
 This study is classified as descriptive qualitative research using case study design at Modern Islamic boarding school Darussalam Gontor for girls 2, Technique of data collection in this research include observation, interview and documentation. The data should be examined by using triangulation.
 Based on the results of the analysis of the researchers seen various kinds of problems experienced by the first class and can be drawn two conclusions as follows: 1. Problematic learning arabic language for first grade students: 1) Difficulties in using Arabic because it comes from areas with different dialect 2) Problems in pronunciation are triggered by fear of mistakes and ridicule and lack of language knowledge. 3) Difficulties in Arabic pronunciation due to the lack of vocabulary treasury.
 From what experienced first grade student a problem of language learning, then the OPPM language section trying to solve. 2. Efforts undertaken by the language part in solving this problematic as follows: 1) Holding an official language motivation program to enrich the knowledge of the language of first class students 2) Conduct inter-group dialogue to train in using language with friends without fear. 3) Through Muhadatsah morning program and instructing student to memorize in order to establish vocabulary in the mind of student. 4) Holding interesting language activities to avoid boredom and language learning and instill a sense of language. 5) Listening to a language song to train good hearing and understanding of the language being heard.
 The result of this study explained on the problematics of learning Arabic language for first grade students, researchers noticed that this study still has many shortcomings and expect that the OPPM language enchancement section can perform the obligations as well as possible by varying the activities of language with which facilitate student in language learning, as well as advising each other about the activities of the language that runs in the Tent and keep the language intensive. And to the next researcher who will discuss the same discussion of this discussion, to research as well as possible and to complete the shortcomings and can write more fully and for the results of writing can be better.

Problematika Pembelajaran Alquran di Kalangan Masyarakat Melayu Sambas, Indonesia (Analisis Kontrastif Titik Batas Fonem Bahasa Arab dan Melayu Sambas)

The purpose of this research is to analyze the contrast between Arabic and Sambas Malay both at school and home of the Koran teacher. The method used in this research is qualitative research. The approach taken is descriptive based on interviews and in-depth observations at the research location. The location of the study was conducted in Seburing Village, Semparuk District, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The selection of Seburing Village as a research location is because Malay people in Sambas are still not fluent in Arabic pronunciation and are brought in by mother tongue or Malay language Sambas. The results of this study indicate that the difficulty in speaking Sambas Malay in reciting Arabic, there are both vowel and consonant language sounds that have similarities and make students in MIS Nurul Huda or at the house of the teacher of the Koran experience errors, especially pronunciation.

SUNDANESE PHONOLOGICAL INTERFERENCE INTO ARABIC LANGUAGE IN KETAPANG SOCIETY

Ketapang is a village in Limau sub-district, Tanggamus district, Lampung province, Indonesia, inhabited by Sundanese speakers. This condition contributes to the variation of Arabic pronunciation, causing irregularities or difficulties known as disturbances. Linguistic phenomenon as a form of language development, something important happens in Arabic. This research was to study phonological interference forms in Sundanese. This research used a qualitative descriptive method with data collection methods through interviews, observations and hearing that comes to the speech of the Ketapang community. The results showed several changes in the phonological change phenomenon, namely phoneme changes and word changes. This study contributes to the knowledge of language development that occurs from phonological disorders in Sundanese to Arabic, thus providing a great deal of knowledge about Arabic linguistic studies.

INTERFERENSI BAHASA INDONESIA DALAM BAHASA ARAB: KASUS PADA KESALAHAN BERBAHASA SISWA KELAS X MAN 1 SRAGEN

In the process of learningnew language, language learner will experience language contact and then cause language interference. This study aims to determine (1) Forms and type of Indonesian interference found in Arabic language among class X MAN 1 Sragen; (2) factors causing language interference; and (3) solution to reduce language interference. The study used a qualitative research design. The data were collected through listening and recording method. Data were analyzed using Hubung Banding technique. The results of the study revealed that (1) language interference occurs in 214 cases contained phonological, morphological, and syntactic interference; (2) the causes of interference are bilingualism, differences on language structure between L1and L2, and lack of vocabulary; (3) solution to reduce language interference are teacher may speak Arabic pronunciation clearly, correcting learner errors immediately, doing imla’ lesson and classroom activities that help learners improve their language skill.

Quality assessment on muscle locations for speech representation

<span lang="EN-US">There are more than 68 muscles, which are activated either simultaneously or sequentially during speech production. To monitor the signals from all these muscles at once, involve a lot of sensors and such system is very expensive. In the Quran therapeutic treatment applications, the use of specific muscles is very important, for the production of correct Arabic pronunciation. The proper pronunciation will improve the reader's understanding of what is being read, thus assisting the effectiveness of the therapy process. The objective of this study is to identify the most optimal muscle location, which is suitable for monitoring the quality of a recitation during the Quran’s therapeutic process, based on the information content embedded in their Electromyogram (EMG) signals. Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) technique was used in this study to extract features of the EMG while the combination of Hilbert Huang Spectral Entropy (HHSE) and Kullback Leibler Divergence (KLD) techniques were used to quantify the information content in each feature. Combination of these techniques managed to rank ten widely used speech muscles in the literature based upon their information content. Four muscle locations have been suggested, which is believed to be sufficient in developing a low-cost self-assessment system for monitoring Quran recitation.</span>

<em>Yaoi</em>, YouTube, and Arabic-Speaking Fans

Yaoi, YouTube, and Arabic-Speaking Fans Ahmed Baroody (bio) Given the global popularity of manga and anime from Japan, it is unsurprising that these media, anime in particular, have countless fans in Arabic-speaking countries. While popular culture from abroad can easily clash with local conservative Islamic values, the focus on male characters and largely patriarchal gender roles depicted in long-popular shōnen anime such as Grendizer (Force Five: Grendizer), Mazinger, and Dragon Ball Z makes the storylines acceptable, even if the sexuality and violence in the uncensored versions available at underground stores and online are as problematic as they are exciting for viewers. The increasingly global genre of boys love (BL), which depicts male-male romance and intimacy, is quite another story, however. Although BL and its fandom have rapidly expanded around the world, given the strong Islamic prohibition of homosexuality, its small but possibly growing number of fans in the Middle East might seem unexpected, although the fans' lack of openness certainly is predictable. While the genre may be too sexual or taboo to be sold in local video stores, even in the underground stores selling uncensored shōnen anime, the internet has allowed it to reach Arabic-speaking Muslim fans via anime streaming websites, manga scanlation websites, and other channels. This availability has brought about the development of online Arabic-speaking fandoms in spite of local taboos, or perhaps in response to them. On various social networking platforms, fans have started to create their own groups and channels dedicated to yaoi—the Arabic pronunciation of which can be Romanized "yawi" or "yawe"—an older Japanese label for BL, which remains what most fans call the genre in Arabic. Yaoi has a strong presence on major platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, as well as more narrowly focused platforms such as Wattpad, dedicated to reading and writing fiction. Arabic-language yaoi fandom also has a strong presence on YouTube, with numerous fans uploading scenes from various anime as well as fan-produced anime music videos containing or edited to include BL scenes. Such users [End Page 176] are called ashig al yawi, meaning roughly, "I love yaoi," or, in other words, yaoi lovers. There are a large number of such users who flock to channels to view clips from BL anime, as well as mash-ups thereof, and imagery from BL manga and other media to evoke BL tropes. For instance, YouTubers Ashig Al Yawi, with over 6,000 subscribers, and Hidoeyuki Maya, with over 2,400 subscribers, have uploaded various BL-themed videos featuring Korean pop idols and as well as Arabic subtitled clips and mashups of BL anime, such as Yuri!!! on Ice and Banana Fish, and Thai BL dramas, sometimes with Arabic-language subtitles and always with Arabic comments, often accompanied by emoji expressing these fans' excitement over the videos. Each of these videos gets thousands, sometimes tens if not hundreds of thousands of views. Ashig Al Yawi's profile itself has received almost 1.4 million views as of January 2020 and the channel's videos seem to be enjoyed by fans. For instance, a pop music video with clips from various anime, "Video Voiced by Yaoi Lovers on How We View Our World," posted by Ashig Al Yawi in December 2017, has had over 8,500 views, and currently has over 200 comments and nearly 400 likes, against just 26 dislikes.1 Comments with a relatively high number of upvotes—roughly 20 to 30—include "This video is not just amazing, it's the BOMB," "Damn it I'm going to die from embarrassment, I love YAOI," and "It represents me." Such comments express fans' generally enthusiastic responses to the short clips of high school boy-on-boy romance and to the genre itself. Similarly, on Hidoeyuki Maya's YouTube channel, a since-removed video with an excerpt from the Korean BL anime Hyperventilation, received over 300 comments and 800 likes compared with just over 100 dislikes. Popular comments were a mix of general statements of fan pride and reactions to the video itself, such as, "My family always lectured me to not watch anime because it was childish, but . . . [now] I...

Interferensi Bahasa Indonesia ke dalam Bahasa Arab di Pondok Roudlatul Qur’an Metro Lampung

The aim of the study focuse on the interference of Indonesian into Arabic viewed from various aspects such as phonological aspects, morphology, syntax, lexicology, and the causes of such interference, namely about the first language interference of santri to their Arabic pronunciation in Rhoudhatul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School on in 2018. In essence, research is an attempt made to look deeply at the identity of the object of research. Because the object of language research cannot be present alone, without research. And the research that will be conducted is by describing the object of research. Using triangulation observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings obtained by the researcher are as follows: 1) Phonological interference occurs in the letters and letters of letters which results in deviations of meaning, Morphological interference occurs in reduplications that often occur in Indonesian, which results in reduplication in Arabic, in Arabic call it jama ', syntactic interference occurs when the word is decapitated freely in a sentence structure without knowing the elements of the language are standard or not in the rules of Indonesian, so that it adversely affects Arabic, lexicological interference occurs in compound words in Indonesian, whereas in Arabic not all words have compound words which consist of two words, semantic interference occurs in the use of language which deviates from its meaning due to differences between Indonesian and Arabic, Arabic has root words, whereas in Indonesian it does not all words have root words.2) The cause of interference is due to habits that have become cultural, tides ebb and control of language, lack of knowledge, and the difficulty of cultivating good language. Hopefully it can become a reference for further research.

The phenomenon of the multiplicity of synonyms of the literal term in our contemporary language

The prevalence of the colloquial dialect today is a serious phenomenon that affects the entity of the classical language and makes it a difficult foreign system even within its Arab borders. Therefore, this study comes to examine an important issue, namely, the reluctance to use the Arabic pronunciation, and the use of colloquial synonyms. Therefore, this study is entitled: "The multiple linguistic synonyms of the literal term in our contemporary language". The first study discusses the efforts of modern researchers in the case of colloquialism and philology, and the second one clarifies the terms of language and dialect. The third is the phenomenon of the multiplicity of the colloquial synonyms of the literal term, which is the main goal of this study, and the conclusion of the research within the descriptive methodology.

The design and implementation of an Arabic pronunciation application for early childhood

Learning is not limited to a certain age group or a formal study environment. However, the first eight years, and particularly the first three years, are most important, as the effects of the care and attention provided to the child during this period will continue throughout his or her life. A child’s early learning processes develop their educational abilities and skills, and fosters their academic achievements.Preschool can be very benefit to development and learning for children, but there are differences between countries in this area. It can reduce the repetition in the classroom and can raise achievement scores for students through the preschool programs of high quality (Jacobson and Linda 2008). There are many applications in the Middle East that teach kids, but there is didn't link between the vowels of the Arabic alphabet characters and verbally voice for each character and training to select correct format of Arabic alphabet like (fatha, dama and kasra). This study aims to develop an educational application for children from the ages of 3 to 5 to help them improve their skills and abilities. The application will also prepare them for school by teaching them the Arabic letters, pronunciation and the short vowels (fatha, dama and kasra). The application also aims to help children communicate and interact more effectively with their external environment by employing several theories about learning skills, such as Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, Edger Dale’s Cone of Learning and Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Goals. The application will focus on the first three levels of Bloom's Taxonomy Pyramid which are ‘Remember’, ‘Understand’ and ‘Apply’. Furthermore, the application will be designed to aid children with their Arabic pronunciation, and aural and oral skills, and train and educate them in preparation for attending school. The expected result is that it will be considerably better than educational books for children’s education. Combining education and play in e-learning applications is an important way to attract children.

Ta'lim Al-Ashwat Ála Dhaui Al-Ta'lim Al-Taáwuni ( Dirasah Al-Tajribiyah Fi Ma'had AlImarah Bandung)

Cooperative learning is one of the learning models used by teachers in teaching and learning process, and it has many types when it is implemented in the classroom. In reality ashwat (Arabic phonology study) is one of the boring subjects considered by students in Ma'had Al-Imarot Bandung. The lecturer only instructs the students to pronounce the Arabic hijaiyyah letters and distinguish the letters adjacent to the makhraj (points of articulation of letters) and its nature. In the learning process, a lecturer uses only lecture method, who gives the examples of correct pronunciation then the students repeat those pronunciations after the lecturer. As a consequence, a lecturer should be able to update the learning process by using an interesting learning model by implementing cooperative learning for instance.
 The aims of this research is to know the reality of learning ashwat as Arabic pronunciation at Ma'had Al-Imarot Bandung, to know the ability of students to mastery of Arabic ashwat before applying cooperative learning in ashwat learning, to know the implementation of cooperative learning in ashwat learning, to know the advantages and disadvantages of cooperative learning in ashwat learning, as well as to know the students' ability to master Arabic ashwat after applying cooperative learning.
 This research is based on the framework that the implementation of cooperative learning in ashwat learning is effective. So the researcher states the hypothesis “cooperative learning is applied effectively in ashwat learning”
 The method used in this research is experimental method with quasi experimental design. There are two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class. The data collection techniques in this research are observation, interviews, and tests.
 the results find that the ability of students who mastering Arabic ashwat in the experimental class before applying cooperative learning showed good criteria with an average mark of 69.00 from pre-test. Surprisingly, the ability of students who mastering Arabic ashwat in the experimental class after applying cooperative learning showed excellent criteria with an average mark of 91.25 from post-test. After the researcher had tested the hypothesis, it can be concluded that cooperative learning was effectively applied in ashwat learning with the value of N-gain 0.68 which shows cooperative learning had improved students’ ability in Arabic ashwat about 68% with medium criteria.

اللفظة العربية القديمة بين الدلالة المعجمية وكفاءة الإيحاء النصي Old Arabic pronunciation between the lexical significance and the efficiency of scriptual inspiration

The claim of some modern scholars, that the field of modern linguistics with its fingerprint and its roots in the West is not disputed by anyone .. !! It needs a well-thought-out response to the ancient Arabic linguistic heritage, and needs a broad briefing on what this cognitive tide has made of distinct artistic, scientific and cognitive characteristics.Do we deny and go beyond a well-established scientific fact that the semantic content of the vocabulary of ancient Arabic lexicons bears clear indications of the entrenchment of the thought of the textual interplay between the problematic signs of the formulas and structures of this distinct language?Based on the necessity of knowing the origins and facts of this paradox, this research aims to establish in the reader's hands a collection of the original Arabic lexicon vocabulary, which indicates the presence of a linguistic sense that deals with the linguistic phenomenon beyond the concept of lexical content in its partial structure. On the concept of the interpretation of parts of the text in its overall structure, taking into account the requirements of the linguistic context in overcoming the overlap of similar semantics.

A Sociophonetic Study of Selected Morphophonetic Alternations in the Egyptian Folk Epic Beibers

Abstract This paper examines selected phonetic and morphological phenomena in early Egyptian Arabic, from about the mid of the 13th century up till, approximately, the end of the 16th century. It attempts to reveal how certain Egyptian Arabic words deviated from Classical Arabic (CA) pronunciation. The data are primarily extracted from the epic of Al-Zāhir Beibers, which flourished during that era. In order to reach this end, the paper adopts a synchronic-diachronic perspective to data analysis under the theory of Lexical Phonology, within the broader framework of Sociophonetics. The selected sound changes include chosen cases of glottal stop alternations, vowel shortening, emphatic spread, and conversion of interdentals. The findings show that some of the depicted alternations were used as variants in Al-Jazeera Arabic dialects. Others are presumed to be a result of false analogical application of originally Classical Arabic rules, the Coptic influence on Egyptian Arabic, and for ease of articulation. Moreover, the results reflect the adequacy of Lexical Phonology as an analytical tool when dealing with such morphophonological alternations.

A Study on The First-Language Influence on The Arabic Pronunciation among Terengganuians in Malaysia

This study focuses on exploring the influences of the first-language influence on the Arabic pronunciation among Terengganuian learners. The study has involved five students, who were born in Terengganu, who communicate using the Terengganuian dialect. The students were asked to read some Arabic sentences while the researcher recorded their voices. Then, their pronunciations were transcribed and analysed. The findings showed that the influences of the Terengganuian dialect on the Arabic pronunciation actually exist. The respondents showed their habits unintentionally in pronouncing the sound /ŋ/ while uttering such Arabic words which have been spelt with the letter ‘n’. This phenomenon is very familiar among Terengganuian people in terms of their local dialect.

Effect of Attitude on Foreign Language Acquisition: Arabic Pronunciation as Case Study

This study aims at investigating how attitude influences foreign language acquisition. In fact, the present study focuses on the relationship between the pronunciation proficiency of some of the American students learning Arabic at the Georgetown University, and their attitude toward Arabic speakers. The study also reveals and points out some fundamentally related elements, such as the exposure to Arabic Language and Arabic environment, to eliminate, or at least to reduce, the students' negative attitudes that may hinder the process of pronunciation acquisition. The sample of the study consisted of 6 students (4 females and 2 males) randomly chosen from Georgetown University. A five-point likert scale attitude questionnaire and an achievement test were used to collect data from the students who participated in this research. Results showed that the students who have good attitudes towards Arabic speakers, and have visited or stayed in an Arabic-speaking country, have the best pronunciation performance, while those who have neither good attitudes nor stayed a long time in an Arabic-speaking country, have the poorest performance.

A statistical-based decision for arabic pronunciation assessment

The aim of a computer assisted language learning (CALL) system is to improve the language skills of learners. Such systems often include, grammar and vocabulary components, while the pronunciation learning seems to be the hardest step in language learning process. Little attention has been paid to this aspect among the required ones in CALL systems. In pronunciation learning context, the learner would like to know if its pronunciation is good or bad. In the case where the pronunciation is bad, it will be suitable if some advices are given to him. The goal of this work is an early detection of pupils with reading difficulties and in the issue of decision whether their pronunciation is good or not is our particular interest. For this purpose, we consider the answer to this question as a classification problem and we use a statistical approach to make a decision; this approach allows us to pursue the investigation concerning the pronunciation of every phoneme in the word or in the sentence.

Difficulties of Standard Arabic Phonemes Spoken by Non-Arab Primary School Children based on Formant Frequencies

Problem statement: The study of Malaysian Arabic phoneme is rarely found which make the references work difficult. Specific guideline on Malaysian subject is not found even though a lot of acoustic and phonetics research has been done on other languages such as English, French and Chinese. Approach: This study discussed about the correct and simplest way of Arabic phonemes pronunciation in Malay accent. The International Phonetic Alphabet of Arabic chart was considered as the reference of every recorded speech samples using Malaysian children for their sound localization (makhraj point) of every alphabet. The recorded sound was analysed to determine the origin of each alphabet data by measuring its formant frequencies. The consonants of Standard Arabic (SA) phonemes were studied and the appropriate place of articulation of every phoneme was measured through its formant. Results: Only seven out of 25 consonants of SA phonemes of the children’s samples did not give the appropriate formants value. The formants are /kof/, [ ?], /zo/, [ ?], /kho/, [ ,[? /gheyn/, [ ?], /ha/, [ ?], /ain/, [ ?] & /ha/, [] which consider as the difficult SA to utter among Malaysian children. Conclusion/Recommendations: The values obtained are used as the reference of the database for our recognition system.

Cross-word Arabic pronunciation variation modeling for speech recognition

One of the problems in the speech recognition of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the cross-word pronunciation variation. Cross-word pronunciation variations alter the phonetic spelling of words beyond their listed forms in the phonetic dictionary, leading to a number of Out-Of-Vocabulary (OOV) wordforms. This paper presents a knowledge-based approach to model cross-word pronunciation variation at both phonetic dictionary and language model levels. The proposed approach is based on modeling cross-word pronunciation variation by expanding the phonetic dictionary and corpus transcription. The Baseline system contains a phonetic dictionary of 14,234 words from a 5.4 hours corpus of Arabic broadcast news. The expanded dictionary contains 15,873 words. Also, the corpus transcription is expanded according to the applied Arabic phonological rules. Using Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Sphinx speech recognition engine, the Enhanced system achieved Word Error Rate (WER) of 9.91% on a test set of fully discretized transcription of about 1.1 hours of Arabic broadcast news. The WER is enhanced by 2.3% compared to the Baseline system.

Phonetic beams and their role in the spectral analysis of the Arabic pronunciation
 The basis of every linguistic normative, was its pronunciation, and its vocal performance and acoustic studies became an important basis upon which linguistic research is based, morphological, grammatical, lexical and semantic, and it was natural to derive the premises of research from the applied means available on the phonetic lessons, whether they were anatomical means or physical or by making use of modern technical data. Moreover, the Arabic linguistic phoneme constitutes a composition of the basic units upon which the linguistic levels are based, but the distinction between consonants and vowels remains of great theoretical and scientific importance, from the phonetic side and at all analytical levels. Between the consonant and the vowel, rather it attempts to analyze the elements of the linguistic sound and divide it abstractly; So that we have done the process of construction and installation to clear the picture of the linguistic sound in both parts.
