“…If there is no learning media, then the learning process is unlikely to be carried out properly (Paico Campos dkk., 2023), at least there is a need for a medium to teach the teaching material. There are several functions that exist in learning media, namely (Rosowsky, 2019); something planning to arouse students' interest in exploring the lesson, a medium that connects between the teacher and the student, material that displays the delivery of the teacher.…”

Teachers and students can take advantage of technology-based learning media, including the Canva application. Canva is an online-based design application that provides all the attractive designs such as templates, features, and categories that we can use in it. By utilizing the Canva application, teachers can show information, innovations, and abilities that will be obtained by students by utilizing attractive designs in the Canva application, so that this media can support the learning process so that it is not boring and can also be used in various areas of life.

“…This conception of Arabic literacy may conflict with some Muslim conceptions of literacy that do not emphasise comprehension (Selim 2017) or focus on 'liturgical literacy' for devotional purposes only (Rosowsky 2006(Rosowsky , 2008. Liturgical literacy entails reading Arabic religious texts fluently but without comprehension of their content (Rosowsky 2019). Rather, the meaning of the texts is explained in the community language (Rosowsky 2008).…”

Recent research into Arabic learning at Australian Islamic schools presented evidence of non-Arab Muslim learners’ dissatisfaction with Arabic learning. This article explores the Arabic learning experiences of non-Arab Muslim learners of Arabic (a-MLA) at Australian Islamic schools (AIS). This research gave voice to students and used a basic interpretive qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews were triangulated using supplementary classroom observations. The data presented draw from the analysis of 40 participants’ interviews. Findings suggest that students expected learning to yield the acquisition of all language macro-skills and a capacity to read with comprehension, but that experiences and outcomes fell short of expectations. This led to disengagement, disruptions, and overall disillusionment and attrition in senior secondary. Students revealed a general dissatisfaction with the way programs were structured and with core aspects of their learning experience. Repetitive lessons focused on reading, translating and grammar study were connected to disruptions. The motivational implications of these negative learning experiences are discussed.

This study investigates the relationship between Muslim identity and the belief in the Arabic language among students at non-Islamic Higher Education in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative case study approach, and data were collected using a simple random sample survey technique. The respondents were Muslim students at non-Islamic higher education in Jakarta, Makassar, Bogor, and Bandung who enrolled in non-Islamic and non-Arabic language study programs. The results show that the respondents considered Arabic a sacred language more than a foreign language. It is known based on most respondents studying the Qur'an at the elementary school level and some at the kindergarten level. In addition, even though their native language is not Arabic, they state that they have a high fluency in reading the Qu'ran and regularly read the Qu'ran at least once a week. However, they needed to be more convinced and interested in learning Arabic for communication skills like other foreign languages because most stated that learning Arabic is urgent to understand Islam.
