Abstract


Abstrak

Kemahiran bertutur merupakan salah satu kemahiran penting yang perlu dikuasai oleh pelajar, kerana ia adalah kemahiran kedua paling penting selepas kemahiran mendengar. Namun demikian, pencapaian pelajar dalam kemahiran bertutur bahasa Arab masih berada pada tahap yang rendah. Oleh itu, kajian tinjauan ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti aktiviti yang dapat meningkatkan kemahiran bertutur bahasa Arab dalam kalangan pelajar bukan penutur jati dari tahun 2012 hingga kini, dengan menggunakan perisian NVIVO 12. Carian kata kunci melalui pangkalan data SCOPUS menghasilkan 18 artikel, manakala ProQuest menghasilkan 74 artikel. Namun, setelah proses saringan kemasukan dan pengecualian dijalankan, hanya 21 artikel yang dipilih. Kajian semula terhadap artikel-artikel ini mengenal pasti 9 kod awal yang dikategorikan kepada 4 tema utama, iaitu mendengar dan menyebut, main peranan atau lakonan, pembentangan lisan, dan bercerita. Diharapkan bahawa dapatan kajian ini dapat memberikan manfaat kepada penyelidikan akan datang dalam menangani masalah kemahiran bertutur serta menjadi panduan kepada pendidik bahasa dalam pengajaran kemahiran bertutur abad ke-21.

Kata Kunci: aktiviti, meningkatkan, kemahiran bertutur, bahasa Arab, bukan penutur jati

 

Abstract

Speaking skills are among the essential competencies students need to master, as they are the second most important skill after listening. However, students’ achievement in Arabic speaking skills remains at a low level. Therefore, this survey study aims to identify activities that enhance Arabic speaking skills among non-native speakers from 2012 to the present, using NVIVO 12 software. A keyword search through the SCOPUS database yielded 18 articles, while ProQuest produced 74 articles. However, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 21 articles were selected. A review of these articles identified 9 initial codes, which were categorized into 4 main themes: listening and pronunciation, role-playing or acting, oral presentations, and storytelling. It is hoped that the findings of this study will benefit future research in addressing speaking skill challenges and serve as a guide for language educators in teaching 21st-century speaking skills.

Keywords: activities, enhancing, speaking skills, Arabic language, non-native speakers
