توظيف وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي في تعليم مهارة الكلام باللغة العربية في المدرسة الثانوية محب الوطن

Abstract

This study investigates the use of social media to enhance the Arabic speaking skill of the second-grade students of the Islamic High School of Habib al-Watan. The researchers are interested in researching this topic because social media is one of the means that can be utilized easily anytime and anywhere, and allows users to learn various things, including foreign languages. Platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, Goodnight, Tandem, OME TV, Azar, Holla, and Hello Talk offer opportunities for interaction with native speakers. Engaging in repeated conversations with native speakers helps expand vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and increase motivation for learning Arabic. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data was collected through observation and interviews to gain a deep understanding of how social media is used in learning Arabic. The findings of the study explained that applications can facilitate the improvement of users' Arabic speaking skills. The features available on these platforms make the learning process more engaging for students. However, the main challenges encountered were the students' lack of understanding of how to use the applications and limited access to the internet. The study emphasizes the importance of teacher guidance and the integration of technology in education to achieve more effective learning outcomes.
