URGENSI INOVASI PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA ARAB ANTARA LABORATURIUM ALAM DAN LABORATORIUM BUATAN (TEKNOLOGI)

Abstract

This paper examines the urgency of innovation in Arabic language learning through the integration of natural laboratories and artificial (technological) laboratories. Natural laboratories utilize real-world environments and direct experiences to enhance students’ contextual understanding and communicative competence in Arabic. Meanwhile, artificial laboratories leverage digital technologies and interactive platforms to overcome limitations of time, space, and resource availability, providing personalized and engaging learning experiences. The integration of both approaches is essential to address the challenges of limited language exposure and low motivation among learners, fostering a balanced and adaptive learning ecosystem. Innovative implementation strategies, such as combining outdoor experiential learning with digital documentation and interactive applications, are proposed to maximize the benefits of both methods. This integration is crucial for creating relevant, effective, and future-oriented Arabic language instruction that meets the needs of today’s learners.
