Wordwall-Based Arabic Language Learning Innovation: Increasing Student Interest and Understanding in the Digital Era

Umar Al Faruq, Dian Arsitades Wiranegara

Abstract


Arabic language learning in the digital era requires innovative teaching methods to make the process more engaging and effective for students. This study aims to examine the role of the interactive learning platform Wordwall in enhancing students’ interest, comprehension, and language habits in Arabic. Using a qualitative approach, this research employs classroom observations, interviews, and questionnaires to assess the effectiveness of Wordwall. The findings indicate that Wordwall facilitates students' understanding of Arabic vocabulary and grammar through engaging visualizations, thereby improving retention and conceptual comprehension. Additionally, Wordwall creates an enjoyable learning atmosphere, increases student engagement, and changes the perception that Arabic is a difficult subject. The platform also contributes to the formation of students' Arabic language habits through repetitive interactive exercises, making them more comfortable using Arabic in daily communication. Thus, this study confirms that Wordwall not only simplifies Arabic learning but also enhances students’ motivation and helps them develop language habits
