Basic Arabic Language Training to Improve Vocabulary Proficiency Among Students at Prathom Suksa

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental aspect of Arabic language learning that influences students’ ability to read, write, speak and comprehend learning materials. However, some students still struggle to memorise and use Arabic vocabulary in their daily learning activities. This activity aims to improve students’ command of Arabic vocabulary through basic Arabic language training. The method of implementation uses a participatory approach through stages of observation, delivery of material, vocabulary pronunciation practice, educational games, and evaluation of learning outcomes. The activity was carried out with students at Al Rahmanwitya School in Thailand, focusing on the introduction of basic vocabulary related to daily activities. The results of the activity showed that the training was able to improve the students’ understanding and ability to memorise and pronounce Arabic vocabulary more effectively. Furthermore, the students appeared more active and enthusiastic throughout the learning process. The use of interactive methods and simple learning materials also helped to create a pleasant learning atmosphere, making it easier for students to understand the material. The basic Arabic language training in this activity could serve as an alternative learning strategy to improve students’ vocabulary acquisition in a more effective and communicative manner.
