PENDAMPINGAN PEMBELAJARAN NAHWU DASAR MELALUI BUKU SMART NAHWU PADA GURU DI MALIQA

Abstract

Basic nahwu learning constitutes an essential foundation in Arabic language acquisition, particularly for teachers who act as facilitators in understanding language and religious texts. However, nahwu instruction still faces various challenges, including the complexity of the material, less contextual pedagogical approaches, and the limited availability of systematic and applicable teaching materials. This community service activity aimed to develop teachers’ pedagogical competence in basic nahwu instruction through mentoring based on the Smart Nahwu book at MaliQa. A participatory-collaborative approach was employed, with mentoring implemented through three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The participants of this activity were Arabic language teachers at MaliQa who were actively involved throughout the mentoring process. Data were collected through observation, interviews, response questionnaires, and documentation, and were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach. The results indicate that mentoring based on the Smart Nahwu book enhanced teachers’ conceptual understanding of basic nahwu and encouraged a shift in teaching practices from rule memorization toward more systematic, contextual, and applicative learning. Furthermore, the developed nahwu learning strategy model demonstrated a high level of acceptance and relevance to the learning conditions at MaliQa. Thus, this activity contributes to strengthening teachers’ pedagogical competence and improving basic nahwu learning practices.
