This study analyzes the role of i'rab in translating mubtada’-khobar and fi’il-fa’il structures from Arabic into Indonesian. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis, this research examines how i'rab, as a system of final vowel changes in Arabic, influences grammatical and semantic functions in the translation process. The theoretical review focuses on the concept of i'rab according to Ibn Ajurrum and Eugene Nida's dynamic equivalence theory, which emphasizes the importance of accurately transferring meaning and grammatical structure. The literature review method involves collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing sources from classical Arabic grammar books, previous research, and modern translation theories. The data is analyzed comparatively to identify effective translation patterns in adapting Arabic syntactic structures into Indonesian. The findings indicate that a deep understanding of i'rab plays a crucial role in translation, especially since Indonesian does not have a similar system. To convey the grammatical information embedded in i'rab, translators must adjust word order, use pronouns, or adapt sentence structures. This article provides new insights into how i'rab affects Arabic-Indonesian translation and its implications for improving translation skills.

Speed reading is an essential skill in modern education, requiring students to quickly and effectively comprehend information. This study aims to examine innovative and effective strategies for developing students' speed reading abilities in the era of modern learning. The research method used is library research, involving an extensive review of books, scholarly journals, and previous studies relevant to speed reading instruction.

However, the study also identifies several challenges, such as students' limited vocabulary, text difficulty levels, and insufficient teaching resources. By understanding the benefits and challenges, this strategy can be further developed through more innovative approaches, such as digital media utilization and the integration of contextual learning methods in Arabic language instruction. This study is expected to contribute to the development of Arabic language teaching methods at the Madrasah Aliyah level.  

As a literary genre with its own appeal, short stories (qishshah qashirah) and poetry (shi'r) offer a unique and beneficial reading experience for students. However, learning to read Arabic literary texts often presents various challenges. This study aims to analyze in depth the reading skills of Arabic literary texts, specifically short stories and poetry, at Madrasah Aliyah. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, which aims to observe and describe events, phenomena, attitudes, social activities, perceptions, beliefs, and thoughts of individuals or groups. Data collection is conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique follows the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students' ability to read Arabic literary texts, both short stories and poetry, remains relatively low. Several internal and external factors influence this ability, including limited vocabulary (mufradat), which causes students to struggle in understanding texts, frequently pause, guess word meanings, or even give up entirely. Additionally, weak proficiency in Arabic grammar (nahwu and sharaf) further hinders their comprehension of sentence structures in literary texts. To address these challenges, three strategies can be implemented by educators to enhance students' reading skills: utilizing diverse learning media, selecting engaging and relevant themes, and providing a variety of reading resources.

This study aims to develop an inquiry-based e-module as a teaching material for ecosystem topics for tenth-grade high school students. The e-module is designed to enhance student engagement in learning and foster critical thinking skills. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using Sugiyono’s development model. Validation was conducted by subject matter experts, language experts, and media experts, yielding results of 86%, 93.33%, and 94.54%, respectively, all categorized as highly feasible. Practicality tests by teachers resulted in a score of 93.75%, while student practicality surveys reached 95.4%, indicating that the e-module is highly suitable for learning. The critical thinking skills test showed an overall student score average of 77.25%, classified as high. This e-module offers several advantages, including ease of access, an engaging design, and interactive content incorporating text, images, videos, and exercises. However, challenges in its implementation include limited technological access in some schools. Overall, the inquiry-based e-module is considered effective and ready for use as an alternative teaching material for ecosystem learning in high schools.
