Enhancing Arabic Listening and Speaking Skills through Classkick: A Digital Media Intervention in Higher Education

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of the Classkick platform to improve listening (maharah istima') and speaking (maharah kalam) skills in Arabic language learning at UIN Malang. With a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interview techniques, where the interviewees were asked for their opinions and ideas as well as filling out media assessment data in the form of several statements and points filled in by 12 UIN Malang students and then systematically analyzed through four stages: collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study examines the implementation of the Classkick platform in learning Arabic listening and speaking skills. The results showed that Classkick's interactive features (such as voice recordings, exercises, and audiovisual materials) significantly improved learning engagement and linguistic competence. However, the study also identified technical-pedagogical challenges in its integration into education. The results of this study make an important contribution to the development of technology-based Arabic language learning methods in the digital era.
