An Analysis of the Book Al-Arabiyah Baina Yadaik, Volume 2, By Abdurrahman Bin Ibrahim Al-Fauzan, Mukhtar Ath-Thabir Husain, and Muhammad Abdul Khaliq Muhammad Fadl

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the book "Al-'Arabiyah Baina Yadaik Volume 2" written by Abdurrahman bin Ibrahim Al-Fauzan, Mukhtar Ath-Thahir Husain, and Muhammad Abdul Khaliq Muhammad Fadl. This book is specifically designed for non-Arabic speakers and covers various important aspects of language teaching, including the four language skills: listening (al-istima'), speaking (al-kalam), reading (al-qira'ah), and writing (al-kitabah). The research method used is content analysis with a qualitative approach, involving data collection from the book as well as other supporting references. The results of the analysis show that the book has a systematic and comprehensive structure, with diverse presentation of materials suitable for the students' proficiency levels. The book also successfully meets competency standards in Arabic language teaching, focusing on the development of communicative skills and cultural understanding. In addition, there is an emphasis on the use of Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic), making it relevant for formal education. Nevertheless, this study also identifies several shortcomings in terms of content variation and delivery methods, which can be improved to enhance learning effectiveness.
