Assistance in Arabic Language Introduction Through Arabic Music Translation Activities of Qad Anshoha Songs at MA Al Barokah Probolinggo

Abstract

This community service activity aims to introduce Arabic in a contextual and fun way to female students through a music-based approach. This activity was held at MA Al-Barokah, Probolinggo, with participants as many as 20 students from MA Al Barokah, Tunggakcerme Village, Wonomerto District, Probolinggo Regency. The implementation of the activity lasted for four weeks in March 2023 and involved two students from the Arabic Language Education Study Program as implementers and facilitators. The method used in this activity is the method of tarjamah (translation), using an Arabic song titled Qad Anshoha as the main medium of learning. The song was chosen because it contains Islamic values as well as vocabulary and sentence structure that are relevant for basic Arabic learning. The activity began with an introduction to vocabulary, reading and understanding the meaning of the lyrics, to practicing translating song lyrics together. In addition, participants were also invited to sing songs in Arabic after understanding their meaning, in order to improve pronunciation and contextual understanding. The results of this activity show that learning Arabic through the media of songs is able to increase the motivation and interest of adolescents in Arabic. This approach is considered effective because it is able to combine educational and entertainment elements in a balanced manner. Participants not only understand the meaning of song lyrics, but also begin to get to know sentence structure and basic vocabulary in Arabic. This activity is expected to be an alternative learning method that is relevant and fun for the younger generation, especially in the context of community-based non-formal education.
