Teaching Arabic Adjectives Using Modern Technologies

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology provides a new environment for teaching and learning English, potentially enhancing learners' motivation and proficiency in writing. This paper explored the relationship between technology use and students' motivation and writing skills within the Indonesian context. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study employed tests and online questionnaires as instruments. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to identify significant improvements in teaching adjectives. Concurrently, online questionnaires were distributed to gauge students' motivation in English writing. The findings indicate that technology plays a crucial role in enhancing students' writing competence and motivation. Significant correlations were observed between pre-test and post-test results among undergraduate students. This study's implications suggest that Arabic language pedagogy, particularly in Indonesian universities, should integrate both linguistic and non-linguistic outcomes, such as motivation, into the curriculum. Therefore, the integration of pedagogy and technology is essential to achieving Arabic learning objectives.
